  47:  * The object IOR contains sufficient information for finding local or
  48:  * remote CORBA object. It also contains additional data like the object
  49:  * native and supported char sets, URLs to download the required additional
  50:  * java classes and so on. IOR can define multiple alternative addresses
  51:  * for the same object or indicate that the object is equal to null.
  52:  * </p><p>
  53:  * The IOR is a standard structure, transferred when sending an object with
  54:  * {@link org.omg.CORBA.portable.OutputStream#write_Object(org.omg.CORBA.Object)}
  55:  * and receiving with {@link org.omg.CORBA.portable.InputStream#read_Object()}.
  56:  * The stringified object references, managed by 
  57:  * {@link org.omg.CORBA.ORB#string_to_object}
  58:  * and {@link org.omg.CORBA.ORB#object_to_string} are also IORs, where the
  59:  * initially binary data are encoded as strings using hexadecimal notation.
  60:  * </p><p>
  61:  * The IOR is represented as the object repository id, followed
  62:  * by the sequence of the abstract profiles, each having the integer type
  63:  * identifier and the followed array of binary data. The empty sequence of
  64:  * profiles represents a null object, written, for instance, in response
  65:  * to the call of write_Object(null).
  66:  *
  67:  * @specnote GNU Classpath has its own implementation of IOR machinery at
  68:  * gnu.CORBA.IOR. The reason is that IORs are required from 1.2, but only
  69:  * in 1.4 the associated classes appear in the public API.
