  40  * A class providing APIs for the CORBA Object Request Broker
  41  * features.  The {@code ORB} class also provides
  42  * "pluggable ORB implementation" APIs that allow another vendor's ORB
  43  * implementation to be used.
  44  * <P>
  45  * An ORB makes it possible for CORBA objects to communicate
  46  * with each other by connecting objects making requests (clients) with
  47  * objects servicing requests (servers).
  48  * <P>
  49  *
  50  * The {@code ORB} class, which
  51  * encapsulates generic CORBA functionality, does the following:
  52  * (Note that items 5 and 6, which include most of the methods in
  53  * the class {@code ORB}, are typically used with the
  54  * {@code Dynamic Invocation Interface} (DII) and
  55  * the {@code Dynamic Skeleton Interface} (DSI).
  56  * These interfaces may be used by a developer directly, but
  57  * most commonly they are used by the ORB internally and are
  58  * not seen by the general programmer.)
  59  * <OL>
  60  * <li> initializes the ORB implementation by supplying values for
  61  *      predefined properties and environmental parameters
  62  * <li> obtains initial object references to services such as
  63  * the NameService using the method {@code resolve_initial_references}
  64  * <li> converts object references to strings and back
  65  * <li> connects the ORB to a servant (an instance of a CORBA object
  66  * implementation) and disconnects the ORB from a servant
  67  * <li> creates objects such as
  68  *   <ul>
  69  *   <li>{@code TypeCode}
  70  *   <li>{@code Any}
  71  *   <li>{@code NamedValue}
  72  *   <li>{@code Context}
  73  *   <li>{@code Environment}
  74  *   <li>lists (such as {@code NVList}) containing these objects
  75  *   </ul>
  76  * <li> sends multiple messages in the DII
  77  * </OL>
  78  *
  79  * <P>
  80  * The {@code ORB} class can be used to obtain references to objects
  81  * implemented anywhere on the network.
  82  * <P>
  83  * An application or applet gains access to the CORBA environment
  84  * by initializing itself into an {@code ORB} using one of
  85  * three {@code init} methods.  Two of the three methods use the properties
  86  * (associations of a name with a value) shown in the
  87  * table below.<BR>
  88  * <TABLE BORDER=1 SUMMARY="Standard Java CORBA Properties">
  89  * <TR><TH>Property Name</TH>   <TH>Property Value</TH></TR>
  90  * <CAPTION>Standard Java CORBA Properties:</CAPTION>
  91  *     <TR><TD>org.omg.CORBA.ORBClass</TD>
  92  *     <TD>class name of an ORB implementation</TD></TR>
  93  *     <TR><TD>org.omg.CORBA.ORBSingletonClass</TD>
  94  *     <TD>class name of the ORB returned by {@code init()}</TD></TR>
  95  * </TABLE>
  96  * <P>
  97  * These properties allow a different vendor's {@code ORB}
  98  * implementation to be "plugged in."
  99  * <P>
 100  * When an ORB instance is being created, the class name of the ORB
 101  * implementation is located using
 102  * the following standard search order:
 103  *
 104  * <OL>
 105  *     <LI>check in Applet parameter or application string array, if any
 106  *
 107  *     <LI>check in properties parameter, if any
 108  *
 109  *     <LI>check in the System properties
 110  *
 111  *     <LI>check in the orb.properties file located in the user.home
 112  *         directory (if any)
 113  *
 114  *     <LI>check in the orb.properties file located in the java.home/lib
 115  *         directory (if any)
 116  *
 117  *     <LI>fall back on a hardcoded default behavior (use the Java&nbsp;IDL
 118  *         implementation)
 119  * </OL>
 120  * <P>
 121  * Note that Java&nbsp;IDL provides a default implementation for the
 122  * fully-functional ORB and for the Singleton ORB.  When the method
 123  * {@code init} is given no parameters, the default Singleton
 124  * ORB is returned.  When the method {@code init} is given parameters
 125  * but no ORB class is specified, the Java&nbsp;IDL ORB implementation
 126  * is returned.
 127  * <P>
 128  * The following code fragment creates an {@code ORB} object
 129  * initialized with the default ORB Singleton.
 130  * This ORB has a
 131  * restricted implementation to prevent malicious applets from doing
 132  * anything beyond creating typecodes.
 133  * It is called a singleton
 134  * because there is only one instance for an entire virtual machine.
 135  * <PRE>
 136  *    ORB orb = ORB.init();
 137  * </PRE>
 138  * <P>
 139  * The following code fragment creates an {@code ORB} object
 140  * for an application.  The parameter {@code args}
 141  * represents the arguments supplied to the application's {@code main}
 142  * method.  Since the property specifies the ORB class to be
 143  * "SomeORBImplementation", the new ORB will be initialized with
 144  * that ORB implementation.  If p had been null,
 145  * and the arguments had not specified an ORB class,
 146  * the new ORB would have been
 147  * initialized with the default Java&nbsp;IDL implementation.
 148  * <PRE>
 149  *    Properties p = new Properties();
 150  *    p.put("org.omg.CORBA.ORBClass", "SomeORBImplementation");
 151  *    ORB orb = ORB.init(args, p);
 152  * </PRE>
 153  * <P>
 154  * The following code fragment creates an {@code ORB} object
 155  * for the applet supplied as the first parameter.  If the given
 156  * applet does not specify an ORB class, the new ORB will be
 157  * initialized with the default Java&nbsp;IDL implementation.
 158  * <PRE>
 159  *    ORB orb = ORB.init(myApplet, null);
 160  * </PRE>
 161  * <P>
 162  * An application or applet can be initialized in one or more ORBs.
 163  * ORB initialization is a bootstrap call into the CORBA world.
 164  *
 165  *
 166  * @implNote
 167  * When a singleton ORB is configured via the system property,
 168  * or orb.properties, it will be
 169  * located, and loaded via the system class loader.
 170  * Thus, where appropriate, it is necessary that
 171  * the classes for this alternative ORBSingleton are available on the application's class path.
 172  * It should be noted that the singleton ORB is system wide.
 173  *
 174  * When a per-application ORB is created via the 2-arg init methods,
 175  * then it will be located using the thread context class loader.
 176  * 
 177  * The IDL to Java Language OMG specification documents the ${java.home}/lib directory as the location,
 178  * in the Java run-time image, to search for orb.properties.
 179  * This location is not intended for user editable configuration files.
 180  * Therefore, the implementation first checks the ${java.home}/conf directory for orb.properties,
 181  * and thereafter the ${java.home}/lib directory.
