/**
 * An <code>ObjID</code> is used to identify a remote object exported
 * to an RMI runtime.  When a remote object is exported, it is assigned
 * an object identifier either implicitly or explicitly, depending on
 * the API used to export.
 *
 * <p>The {@link #ObjID()} constructor can be used to generate a unique
 * object identifier.  Such an <code>ObjID</code> is unique over time
 * with respect to the host it is generated on.
 *
 * The {@link #ObjID(int)} constructor can be used to create a
 * "well-known" object identifier.  The scope of a well-known
 * <code>ObjID</code> depends on the RMI runtime it is exported to.
 *
 * <p>An <code>ObjID</code> instance contains an object number (of type
 * <code>long</code>) and an address space identifier (of type
 * {@link UID}).  In a unique <code>ObjID</code>, the address space
 * identifier is unique with respect to a given host over time.  In a
 * well-known <code>ObjID</code>, the address space identifier is
 * equivalent to one returned by invoking the {@link UID#UID(short)}
 * constructor with the value zero.
 *
 * <p>If the system property <code>java.rmi.server.randomIDs</code>
 * is defined to equal the string <code>"true"</code> (case insensitive),
 * then the {@link #ObjID()} constructor will use a cryptographically
 * strong random number generator to choose the object number of the
 * returned <code>ObjID</code>.
