Bionic Buffalo Tech Note #52: Object Keys, Object Identifiers, and Adapter Names

“oid=/home/ralph/somefile.txt”

to the

CORBA_ORB_string_to_object()

function, an application can acquire a reference to the

file /home/ralph/somefile.txt on the machine abc.def.com. This capability is especially useful during
system initialization, when an application may require object references for remote services. (The
Naming Service and the Trading Service provide other ways to discover initial references.)
