Returns an ORB-internal identifier for this object reference.
This is a hash identifier, which does
not change during the lifetime of the object reference, and so
neither will any hash function of that identifier change. The value returned
is not guaranteed to be unique; in other words, another object
reference may have the same hash value.
If two object references hash differently,
then they are distinct object references; however, both may still refer
to the same CORBA object.
Returns:
the ORB-internal hash identifier for this object reference
Parameters:
-
maximum - the upper bound on the hash value returned by the ORB
