2088    * <p>
2089    * ORBInitializers are registered via Java ORB properties.
2090    * <p>
2091    * The property names are of the form: 
2092    *   <blockquote><code>
2093    *     org.omg.PortableInterceptor.ORBInitializerClass.&lt;Service&gt;
2094    *   </code></blockquote>
2095    * where <code>&lt;Service&gt;</code> is the string name of a class 
2096    * which implements 
2097    *   <blockquote><code>
2098    *     org.omg.PortableInterceptor.ORBInitializer
2099    *   </code></blockquote>
2100    * To avoid name collisions, the reverse DNS name convention should be 
2101    * used. For example, if company X has three initializers, it could define 
2102    * the following properties: 
2103    * <ul>
2104    *   <li><code>
2105    *     org.omg.PortableInterceptor.ORBInitializerClass.com.x.Init1
2106    *   </code></li>
2107    *   <li><code>
2108    *     org.omg.PortableInterceptor.ORBInitializerClass.com.x.Init2
2109    *   </code></li>
2110    *   <li><code>
2111    *     org.omg.PortableInterceptor.ORBInitializerClass.com.x.Init3
2112    *   </code></li>
2113    * </ul>
2114    * During ORB.init, these ORB properties which begin with 
2115    * <code>org.omg.PortableInterceptor.ORBInitializerClass</code> shall be 
2116    * collected, the <code>&lt;Service&gt;</code> portion of each property 
2117    * shall be extracted, an object shall be instantiated with the 
2118    * <code>&lt;Service&gt;</code> string as its class name, and the 
2119    * <code>pre_init</code> and <code>post_init</code> methods shall be 
2120    * called on that object. If there are any exceptions, the ORB shall 
2121    * ignore them and proceed. 
2122    * <p>
2123    * <b><i>Example</i></b>
2124    * <p>
2125    * A client-side logging service written by company X, for example, may 
2126    * have the following ORBInitializer implementation: 
2127    * <code><pre>
2128    * package com.x.logging;
2129    * 
2130    * import org.omg.PortableInterceptor.Interceptor; 
2131    * import org.omg.PortableInterceptor.ORBInitializer; 
2132    * import org.omg.PortableInterceptor.ORBInitInfo; 
2133    * 
2134    * public class LoggingService implements ORBInitializer { 
2135    *     void pre_init( ORBInitInfo info ) { 
2136    *         // Instantiate the Logging Service s Interceptor. 
2137    *         Interceptor interceptor = new LoggingInterceptor(); 
2138    *
2139    *         // Register the Logging Service s Interceptor. 
2140    *         info.add_client_request_interceptor( interceptor ); 
2141    *     } 
2142    * 
2143    *     void post_init( ORBInitInfo info ) { 
2144    *         // This service does not need two init points. 
2145    *     } 
2146    * } 
2147    * </pre></code>
2148    * To run a program called <code>MyApp</code> using this logging 
2149    * service, the user could type: 
2150    *   <blockquote><code>
2151    *     java 
2152    *-Dorg.omg.PortableInterceptor.ORBInitializerClass.com.x.Logging.LoggingService 
2153    *     MyApp
2154    *   </code></blockquote>
2155    * <p>
2156    * <b>Notes about Registering Interceptors</b>
2157    * <p>
2158    * Request Interceptors are registered on a per-ORB basis. 
2159    * <p>
2160    * To achieve virtual per-object Interceptors, query the policies on the 
2161    * target from within the interception points to determine whether they 
2162    * should do any work. 
2163    * <p>
2164    * To achieve virtual per-POA Interceptors, instantiate each POA with a 
2165    * different ORB. While Interceptors may be ordered administratively, 
2166    * there is no concept of order with respect to the registration of 
2167    * Interceptors. Request Interceptors are concerned with service contexts. 
2168    * Service contexts have no order, so there is no purpose for request 
2169    * Interceptors to have an order. IOR Interceptors are concerned with 
2170    * tagged components. Tagged components also have no order, so there 
2171    * is no purpose for IOR Interceptors to have an order. 
2172    * <p>
2173    * Registration code should avoid using the ORB (i.e., calling 
2174    * <code>ORB.init</code> with the provided <code>orb_id</code>). Since 
2175    * registration occurs during ORB initialization, results of invocations 
2176    * on this ORB while it is in this state are undefined. 
2177    *
