ORB class also provides
+ * "pluggable ORB implementation" APIs that allow another vendor's ORB
+ * implementation to be used.
+ * + * An ORB makes it possible for CORBA objects to communicate + * with each other by connecting objects making requests (clients) with + * objects servicing requests (servers). + *
+ *
+ * The ORB class, which
+ * encapsulates generic CORBA functionality, does the following:
+ * (Note that items 5 and 6, which include most of the methods in
+ * the class ORB, are typically used with the Dynamic Invocation
+ * Interface (DII) and the Dynamic Skeleton Interface
+ * (DSI).
+ * These interfaces may be used by a developer directly, but
+ * most commonly they are used by the ORB internally and are
+ * not seen by the general programmer.)
+ *
resolve_initial_references
+ * TypeCode
+ * Any
+ * NamedValue
+ * Context
+ * Environment
+ * NVList) containing these objects
+ *
+ * The ORB class can be used to obtain references to objects
+ * implemented anywhere on the network.
+ *
+ * An application or applet gains access to the CORBA environment
+ * by initializing itself into an ORB using one of
+ * three init methods. Two of the three methods use the properties
+ * (associations of a name with a value) shown in the
+ * table below.
+ *
| Property Name | Property Value |
|---|---|
| org.omg.CORBA.ORBClass | + *class name of an ORB implementation |
| org.omg.CORBA.ORBSingletonClass | + *class name of the ORB returned by init() |
+ * These properties allow a different vendor's ORB
+ * implementation to be "plugged in."
+ *
+ * When an ORB instance is being created, the class name of the ORB + * implementation is located using + * the following standard search order:
+ * + *
+ * Note that Java IDL provides a default implementation for the
+ * fully-functional ORB and for the Singleton ORB. When the method
+ * init is given no parameters, the default Singleton
+ * ORB is returned. When the method init is given parameters
+ * but no ORB class is specified, the Java IDL ORB implementation
+ * is returned.
+ *
+ * The following code fragment creates an ORB object
+ * initialized with the default ORB Singleton.
+ * This ORB has a
+ * restricted implementation to prevent malicious applets from doing
+ * anything beyond creating typecodes.
+ * It is called a singleton
+ * because there is only one instance for an entire virtual machine.
+ *
+ * ORB orb = ORB.init(); + *+ *
+ * The following code fragment creates an ORB object
+ * for an application. The parameter args
+ * represents the arguments supplied to the application's main
+ * method. Since the property specifies the ORB class to be
+ * "SomeORBImplementation", the new ORB will be initialized with
+ * that ORB implementation. If p had been null,
+ * and the arguments had not specified an ORB class,
+ * the new ORB would have been
+ * initialized with the default Java IDL implementation.
+ *
+ * Properties p = new Properties();
+ * p.put("org.omg.CORBA.ORBClass", "SomeORBImplementation");
+ * ORB orb = ORB.init(args, p);
+ *
+ *
+ * The following code fragment creates an ORB object
+ * for the applet supplied as the first parameter. If the given
+ * applet does not specify an ORB class, the new ORB will be
+ * initialized with the default Java IDL implementation.
+ *
+ * ORB orb = ORB.init(myApplet, null); + *+ *
