Line 158:

Corba Location (CorbaLoc) refers to a stringified object reference for a CORBA object that looks similar to a URL.

All CORBA products must support two OMG-defined URLs: "<tt>{{mono|corbaloc:</tt>}}" and "<tt>{{mono|corbaname:</tt>}}". The purpose of these is to provide a human readable and editable way to specify a ___location where an IOR can be obtained.

An example of corbaloc is shown below:

: <tt>{{mono|corbaloc::160.45.110.41:38693/StandardNS/NameServer-POA/_root</tt>}}

A CORBA product may optionally support the "<tt>{{mono|http:</tt>}}", "<tt>{{mono|ftp:</tt>}}" and "<tt>{{mono|file:</tt>}}" formats. The semantics of these is that they provide details of how to download a stringified IOR (or, recursively, download another URL that will eventually provide a stringified IOR). Some ORBs do deliver additional formats which are proprietary for that ORB.
