A BinaryRefAddr consists of a type that describes the communication mechanism and an opaque buffer containing the address description specific to that communication mechanism. The format and interpretation of the address type and the contents of the opaque buffer are based on the agreement of three parties: the client that uses the address, the object/server that can be reached using the address, and the administrator or program that creates the address.
An example of a binary reference address is an BER X.500 presentation address. Another example of a binary reference address is a serialized form of a service's object handle.
A binary reference address is immutable in the sense that its fields once created, cannot be replaced. However, it is possible to access the byte array used to hold the opaque buffer. Programs are strongly recommended against changing this byte array. Changes to this byte array need to be explicitly synchronized. @author Rosanna Lee @author Scott Seligman @see RefAddr @see StringRefAddr @since 1.3
