A database application generally begins processing by accessing one or more critical objects and proceeding from there. These objects are root objects, because they lead to interconnected webs of other objects. The ability to name an object (using method bind
) and retrieve it later by that name (using method lookup
facilitates this start-up capability. A name is not explicitly defined as an attribute of an object. Naming an object also makes it persistent.
There is a single flat name scope per database; thus all names in a particular database are unique. @author David Jordan (as Java Editor of the Object Data Management Group) @version ODMG 3.0
