NAME

       CosNaming  -  The CosNaming service is a collection of interfaces that together define the
       naming service.

DESCRIPTION

       The naming service provides the principal mechanism for clients to find objects in an  ORB
       based  world.  The naming service provides an initial naming context that functions as the
       root context for all names. Given this context clients can navigate in the name space.

       Types that are declared on the CosNaming level are:

       typedef string Istring;
       struct NameComponent {
             Istring id;
             Istring kind;
       };

       typedef sequence <NameComponent> Name;

       enum BindingType {nobject, ncontext};

       struct Binding {
             Name    binding_name;
             BindingType binding_type;
       };

       typedef sequence <Binding> BindingList;

       To get access to the record definitions for the structs use:

       -include_lib("orber/COSS/CosNaming.hrl").

       Names are not an ORB object but the can  be  structured  in  components  as  seen  by  the
       definition  above.  There  are  no  requirements  on names so the service can support many
       different conventions and standards.

       There are two different interfaces supported in the service:

         * NamingContext

         * BindingIterator
