/**
 * The definition for a CORBA object reference.
 * <p>
 * A CORBA object reference is a handle for a particular
 * CORBA object implemented by a server. A CORBA object reference
 * identifies the same CORBA object each time the reference is used to invoke
 * a method on the object.
 * A CORBA object may have multiple, distinct object references.
 * <p>
 * The <code>org.omg.CORBA.Object interface is the root of
 * the inheritance hierarchy for all CORBA object references in the Java
 * programming language, analogous to <code>java.rmi.Remote
 * for RMI remote objects.
 * <p>
 * A CORBA object may be either local or remote.
 * If it is a local object (that is, running in the same
 * VM as the client), invocations may be directly serviced by
 * the object instance, and the object reference could point to the actual
 * instance of the object implementation class.
 * If a CORBA object is a remote object (that is, running in a different
 * VM from the client), the object reference points to a stub (proxy) which uses the
 * ORB machinery to make a remote invocation on the server where the object
 * implementation resides.
 * <p>
 * Default implementations of the methods in the interface
 * <code>org.omg.CORBA.Object
 * are provided in the class <code>org.omg.CORBA.portable.ObjectImpl,
 * which is the base class for stubs and object implementations.
 * <p>
 * @see org.omg.CORBA.portable.ObjectImpl
