20.8 Chain Avoidance

   To avoid view chaining (and thus proxy explosion), we define a general mechanism to carry chain information along with object references. This mechanism is defined in both COM and in CORBA to allow for bidirectional chain avoidance. Views in either system carry this information along with their object references. For example, the information carried in the object reference to a CORBA view of an Automation object would describe the object referred to by the view; that is, information about the Automation object.
