The formats of IOR components and service context data used by ORB 
services are often defined as CDR encapsulations encoding instances 
of IDL defined data types. The Codec provides a mechanism 
to transfer these components between their IDL data types and their CDR 
encapsulation representations. 

A Codec is obtained from the CodecFactory. 
The CodecFactory is obtained through a call to 
ORB.resolve_initial_references( "CodecFactory" ).
