+ <modulesummary>The CosNaming service is a collection of interfaces that together define the naming service.</modulesummary>
+ <description>
+ <p>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. </p>
+ <p>Types that are declared on the CosNaming level are:</p>
+ <code type="none"><![CDATA[
+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;
+ ]]></code>
+ <p>To get access to the record definitions for the structs use:
+ <c>-include_lib("orber/COSS/CosNaming.hrl").</c>.</p>
+ <p>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.</p>
+ <p>There are two different interfaces supported in the service:</p>
+ <list type="bulleted">
+ <item>NamingContext</item>
+ <item>BindingIterator</item>
+ </list>
+ <p>IDL specification for CosNaming:</p>
+ <codeinclude file="../../COSS/CosNaming/cos_naming.idl" tag="" type="c"></codeinclude>
