Another basic operation on the naming service is the list() operation, which returns the contents of a naming context. In addition to the simple task of printing out the contents of a naming context, the list() operation is useful for any tasks that require traversal of the naming graph.

The IDL Interface for list() and BindingIterator

But what if the naming context happens to contain one million objects? This might seem a little far-fetched for the particular project you are working on, but it is realistic for some applications.
