/**
 * The <code>Naming</code> class provides methods for storing and obtaining
 * references to remote objects in a remote object registry.  Each method of
 * the <code>Naming</code> class takes as one of its arguments a name that
 * is a <code>java.lang.String</code> in URL format (without the
 * scheme component) of the form:
 *
 * <PRE>
 *    //host:port/name
 * </PRE>
 * 
 * <P>where <code>host</code> is the host (remote or local) where the registry
 * is located, <code>port</code> is the port number on which the registry
 * accepts calls, and where <code>name</code> is a simple string uninterpreted
 * by the registry. Both <code>host</code> and <code>port</code> are optional.
 * If <code>host</code> is omitted, the host defaults to the local host. If
 * <code>port</code> is omitted, then the port defaults to 1099, the
 * "well-known" port that RMI's registry, <code>rmiregistry</code>, uses.
 *
 * <P><em>Binding</em> a name for a remote object is associating or
 * registering a name for a remote object that can be used at a later time to
 * look up that remote object.  A remote object can be associated with a name
 * using the <code>Naming</code> class's <code>bind</code> or
 * <code>rebind</code> methods.
 *
 * <P>Once a remote object is registered (bound) with the RMI registry on the
 * local host, callers on a remote (or local) host can lookup the remote
 * object by name, obtain its reference, and then invoke remote methods on the
 * object.  A registry may be shared by all servers running on a host or an
 * individual server process may create and use its own registry if desired
 * (see <code>java.rmi.registry.LocateRegistry.createRegistry</code> method
 * for details).
