  * This class represents the address of a communications end-point.

  *<p>
  * For example, an address type could be "BSD Printer Address",
  * which specifies that it is an address to be used with the BSD printing
  * protocol. Its contents could be the machine name identifying the
  * location of the printer server that understands this protocol.
  *<p>
  * A RefAddr is contained within a Reference.

  * RefAddr is an abstract class. Concrete implementations of it
  * determine its synchronization properties.
