Example Consider a system consisting of several distributed objects implemented using CORBA. To access one of the distributed objects, a client typically needs to obtain a reference to the object. An object reference identifies the distributed object that will receive the request. Object references can be passed around in the system as parameters to operations as well as results of requests. A client can therefore obtain a reference to a distributed object in the system from another distributed object. However, how can a client get an initial reference to an object assuming that it is the first distributed object the client wants to access?
