Interface TAG_ORB_TYPE

Holds an integer constant of the TAG_ORB_TYPE Component that defines the kind or CORBA implementation of ORB the reference is comming from. This information may be useful to work around problems with that particular ORB, or exploit shared efficiencies. This tag contains a single unsigned long value; these values are managed by OMG group.

Anyone may register any ORB types by submitting a one-paragraph description of the ORB type to the OMG, and will receive a new ORB type ID in return. A list of all ORB type descriptions should be available on the OMG web server.

TODO Register the GNU Classpath kind of ORB. Not registered at the moment.
