CORBA 2.6.1 Administration Guide

Left Pane
The Naming Service hierarchy is displayed in a tree structure. Initially, the Root Naming context is expanded to show the naming contexts and
names at the root level of the hierarchy. Naming contexts are indicated by a folder icon and can be expanded to show the names contained in
them.
Naming contexts and names consist of two attributes separated by a period:
id.kind. For example, NSDOMES.EventChannelFactory.
id is required and is the identifier, or name ID; in this example NSDOMES
kind is optional and contains a descriptive string; in this example EventChannelFactory
Note that id can consist of multiple subparts separated by periods. kind always follows the last period.
Right Pane
When the Naming Service Administrator display first appears, this pane is blank. When you select to view an object reference for a name, also
called an interoperable object reference (IOR), the object reference fields are shown in the right pane. These fields identify the object and permit
requests to be routed to the object. The object reference fields include the object type ID, object key, and addressing information.
