Reference

Synopsis

This class represents an object external to a naming system that is referred to by an object in the naming system. A Reference contains an address for retrieving the object from its naming system. The address is a communications end point that enables JNDI to contact the object. The address can be any concrete subclass of RefAddr, such as a StringRefAddr for representing a URL or DNS name. A Reference also contains the class name of the referenced object.
