/**

* This interface is implemented by an object that can provide a
|
|
|
30 |
* Reference to itself.
|
|
|
31 |
*<p>
|
|
|
32 |
* A Reference represents a way of recording address information about
|
|
|
33 |
* objects which themselves are not directly bound to the naming system.
|
|
|
34 |
* Such objects can implement the Referenceable interface as a way
|
|
|
35 |
* for programs that use that object to determine what its Reference is.
|
|
22974
|
36 |
* For example, when binding an object, if an object implements the
|
|
2
|
37 |
* Referenceable interface, getReference() can be invoked on the object to
|
|
|
38 |
* get its Reference to use for binding.
