Types

• Binding

  A name-to-object association is called a Binding.

      struct Binding
      {
          CosNaming::Name binding_name;
          CosNaming::BindingType binding_type;
      };
      

• BindingList

      typedef sequence < CosNaming::Binding > BindingList;
  

• BindingType

  Specifies whether the given binding is for a object (that is not a naming context) or for a naming context.

      enum BindingType
      {
          nobject,
          ncontext
      };
  

• Istring

      typedef string Istring;
  

• Name

      typedef sequence < CosNaming::NameComponent > Name;
  

• NameComponent

  Many of the operations defined on a naming context take names as parameters. Names have structure. A name is an ordered sequence of components.

      struct NameComponent
      {
          CosNaming::Istring id;
          CosNaming::Istring kind;
      };
      

  A name with a single component is called a simple name; a name with multiple components is called a compound name. Each component except the last is used to name a context; the last component denotes the bound object.

  A name component consists of two attributes: the identifier attribute and the kind attribute. Both the identifier attribute and the kind attribute are represented as IDL strings. The kind attribute adds descriptive power to names in a syntax-independent way. Examples of the value of the kind attribute include c_source, object_code, executable, postscript, or " ".
