What is a naming service? A naming service maps objects with names. It maps a reference to an object by a user friendly name. For example a machine maps its ip address. The association of an object with a name is called ‘binding’. Examples : Domain Naming Service, File systems.
- A naming service maintains a set of bindings that relate names to objects.
- A naming service follows naming convention due to which all objects in a naming system are named in the same way.
- Clients use the naming service to locate objects by name.
