34Provides a mechanism to register ORB hooks through which ORB services
35can intercept the normal flow of execution of the ORB.
36
37<h2>Interceptor Types</h2>
38There are currently three types of interceptors that can be registered:
39<ul>
40  <li>{@link org.omg.PortableInterceptor.IORInterceptor IORInterceptor} - 
41      Used to establish tagged components in the profiles within an IOR.</li>
42  <li>{@link org.omg.PortableInterceptor.ClientRequestInterceptor 
43ClientRequestInterceptor} - 
44      Intercepts the flow of a request/reply sequence through the ORB on 
45      the <i>client</i> side.</li>
46  <li>{@link org.omg.PortableInterceptor.ServerRequestInterceptor 
47ServerRequestInterceptor} - 
48      Intercepts the flow of a request/reply sequence through the ORB on 
49      the <i>server</i> side.</li>
50</ul>
51See the javadocs for class <code>
52{@link org.omg.PortableInterceptor.ORBInitializer ORBInitializer}</code> 
53for how to go about registering interceptors.
