package com.caucho.services.name;

/**
 * A read-only name service.  The name service provides hierarchical
 * object lookup.  The path names are separated by '/'.
 *
 * <p>Because the name service is hierarchical, a lookup of an intermediate
 * node will return a NameServer instance.
 *
 * <p>The following example is a simple use of the NameServer:
 * <pre>
 * /dir-1/1 - where foo contains the string "foo-1"
 * /dir-1/2 - where foo contains the string "foo-2"
 * /dir-2/1 - where foo contains the string "foo-1"
 * /dir-2/2 - where foo contains the string "foo-2"
 * </pre>
 *
 * <p/>The root server might have a URL like:
 * <pre>
 * http://www.caucho.com/hessian/hessian/name?ejbid=/
 * </pre>
 *
 * <p/>So <code>root.lookup("/dir-1/1")</code> will return the string
 * "foo-1", and <code>root.lookup("/dir-1")</code> will return the
 * NameServer with the URL:
 * <pre>
 * http://www.caucho.com/hessian/hessian/name?ejbid=/dir-1
 * </pre>
