<modulesummary>This interface supports different bind and access functions for names in a context.</modulesummary>
<description>
<p>This is the object that defines name scopes, names must be unique within a
naming context. Objects may have multiple names and may exist in multiple
naming contexts. Name context may be named in other contexts and cycles are
permitted.</p>
<p>The type <c>NameComponent</c> used below is defined as:</p>
<code type="erl">-record('CosNaming_NameComponent', {id, kind=""}).</code>
<p>where <c>id</c> and <c>kind</c> are strings. </p>
<p>The type <c>Binding</c> used below is defined as:</p>
<code type="erl">-record('CosNaming_Binding', {binding_name, binding_type}).</code>
<p>where <c>binding_name</c> is a Name and <c>binding_type</c> is an enum which
has the values <c>nobject</c> and <c>ncontext</c>.</p>
<p>Both these records are defined in the file <c>CosNaming.hrl</c> and it
is included with:</p>
<code type="erl">-include_lib("orber/COSS/CosNaming/CosNaming.hrl").</code>
<p>There are a number of exceptions that can be returned from functions in this
interface.</p>
<list type="bulleted">
<item>
<p>NotFound is defined as </p>
<code type="erl">
-record('CosNaming_NamingContext_NotFound',
{rest_of_name, why}).</code>
</item>
<item>
<p>CannotProceed is defined as </p>
<code type="erl">
-record('CosNaming_NamingContext_CannotProceed',
{rest_of_name, cxt}).
</code>
</item>
<item>
<p>InvalidName is defined as </p>
<code type="erl">
-record('CosNaming_NamingContext_InvalidName', {}).
</code>
</item>
<item>
<p>NotFound is defined as </p>
<code type="erl">-record('CosNaming_NamingContext_NotFound', {}).</code>
</item>
<item>
<p>AlreadyBound is defined as </p>
<code type="erl">-record('CosNaming_NamingContext_AlreadyBound', {}).</code>
</item>
<item>
<p>NotEmpty is defined as </p>
<code type="erl">-record('CosNaming_NamingContext_NotEmpty', {}).</code>
</item>
</list>
<p>These exceptions are defined in the file <c>CosNaming_NamingContext.hrl</c> and it
is included with:</p>
<code type="erl">

in name resolution.</p>

<p>The rebind_context function creates a binding of a name and a naming context in

<desc>
<p>The resolve function is the way to retrieve an object bound to a name in
the naming context. The given name must match exactly the bound name. The
type of the object is not returned, clients are responsible for narrowing
the object to the correct type.</p>

<p>The destroy operation disposes the NamingContext object and removes it from the
name server. The context must be empty e.g. not contain any bindings to be
removed.</p>

<p>The list operation returns a BindingList with a number of bindings up-to
HowMany from the context. It also returns a BindinIterator which can be used to
step through the list. If the total number of existing bindings are less
than, or equal to, the <c>HowMany</c> parameter a NIL object reference
is returned.</p>
<p></p>
<note>
<p>One must destroy the BindingIterator, unless it is a NIL object
reference, by using 'BindingIterator':destroy(). Otherwise one can get
dangling objects.</p>
