Abstract
A prior art naming module supports binding of an object to a name in a Naming Context (i.e., a directory). The present invention extends this original module to support properties (data about bindings), searching (finding bindings given constraints on properties) and indexing (for speeding up the search on certain property names). The ExtendedNamingContext (ENC) is a subclass of the OMG NamingContext (NC) that introduces properties, searching and indexing.
