Interface used to create a ContactInfoList from an IOR, as required
for supporting CORBA semantics using the DCS framework. This is a
natural correspondence since an IOR contains the information for
contacting one or more communication endpoints that can be used to
invoke a method on an object, along with the necessary information
on particular transports, encodings, and protocols to use.
Note that the actual implementation may support more than one
IOR in the case of GIOP with Location Forward messages. |
