/**

 * This class represents the string form of the address of

 * a communications end-point.

 * It consists of a type that describes the communication mechanism

 * and a string contents specific to that communication mechanism.

 * The format and interpretation of

 * the address type and the contents of the address 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.

 *

 * <p> An example of a string reference address is a host name.

 * Another example of a string reference address is a URL.

 *

 * <p> A string reference address is immutable:

 * once created, it cannot be changed.  Multithreaded access to

 * a single StringRefAddr need not be synchronized.
