/**

 * <p>

 * The object IOR contains sufficient information for finding local or

 * remote CORBA object. It also contains additional data like the object

 * native and supported char sets, URLs to download the required additional

 * java classes and so on. IOR can define multiple alternative addresses

 * for the same object or indicate that the object is equal to null.

 * </p><p>

 * The IOR is a standard structure, transferred when sending an object with

 * {@link org.omg.CORBA.portable.OutputStream#write_Object(org.omg.CORBA.Object)}

 * and receiving with {@link org.omg.CORBA.portable.InputStream#read_Object()}.

 * The stringified object references, managed by

 * {@link org.omg.CORBA.ORB#string_to_object}

 * and {@link org.omg.CORBA.ORB#object_to_string} are also IORs, where the

 * initially binary data are encoded as strings using hexadecimal notation.

 * </p><p>

 * The IOR is represented as the object repository id, followed

 * by the sequence of the abstract profiles, each having the integer type

 * identifier and the followed array of binary data. The empty sequence of

 * profiles represents a null object, written, for instance, in response

 * to the call of write_Object(null).

 *

 * @specnote GNU Classpath has its own implementation of IOR machinery at

 * gnu.CORBA.IOR. The reason is that IORs are required from 1.2, but only

 * in 1.4 the associated classes appear in the public API.
