  47:  * <ul>
  48:  * <li>
  49:  * SYNC_NONE (0) - The ORB returns control before sending the request message.
  50:  * </li><li>
  51:  * SYNC_WITH_TRANSPORT (1) - The ORB returns control to the client only after the
  52:  * transport has accepted the request message.
  53:  * </li><li>
  54:  * SYNC_WITH_SERVER (2) - The ORB waits for the reply message from the
  55:  * server side ORB.
  56:  * </li><li>
  57:  * SYNC_WITH_TARGET (3) is equivalent for the synchronous, no one
  58:  * way operations. It is the most realiable, also the slowest one.
  59:  * </ul>
  60:  * The java API specification up till 1.4 inclusive defines only one
  61:  * constant, SYNC_WITH_TRANSPORT.
