* Reference to itself.
|
|
*<p>
|
|
* A Reference represents a way of recording address information about
|
|
* objects which themselves are not directly bound to the naming system.
|
|
* Such objects can implement the Referenceable interface as a way
|
|
* for programs that use that object to determine what its Reference is.
|
|
* For example, when binding a object, if an object implements the
|
|
* Referenceable interface, getReference() can be invoked on the object to
|
|
* get its Reference to use for binding.
