/**
 * @class TAO_Naming_Server
 *
 * @brief Defines a wrapper class that holds the root Naming Context.
 *
 * This class either finds an existing Naming Service (if the
 * <resolve_for_existing_naming_service> flag is set) or creates
 * one (if <resolve_for_existing_naming_service> flag isn't set or
 * Naming Service was not found).  This class also defines the
 * operator-> so that  <NamingContext> functions like <bind>,
 * <unbind> .. can be called directly on a <TAO_Naming_Server>
 * object, and be forwareded to the root Naming Context.
 * This class is intended to simplify
 * programs that want to play the role of a Naming Service
 * server.  To simplify programs that want to play the role of
 * Naming Service clients, use <TAO_Naming_Client>.
 * If a Naming Service is created locally, a TAO_IOR_Multicast
 * event handler is created and installed on the ORB's reactor.
 * This event handler allows other clients on the network to
 * discover and use this Naming Service.
 * Event handler listens on a multicast port for messages from
 * clients looking for a Naming Service, and sends back the ior
 * of the root Naming Context.  For more information on how this
 * bootstraping through a multicast process works, check out
 * orbsvcs/orbsvcs/TAO_IOR_Multicast.*, implementation of
 * <resolve_initial_references>, and orbsvcs/Naming/README.
