__init__ (
        self,
        name,
        doc="",
        ior_ref=None,
        server_type=None,
        )

Intialize with IOR reference for a BioCorba Collection.

ior_ref is a URL or file reference to an IOR string. The IOR should reference a BioSequenceCollection. This is the top level BioCorba object we should use for making objects available.

server_type is a hack parameter which might be necessary if there are server/client issues (ie. as with Perl ORBit) that we need to muck around with. If not set, we just use a standard retriever.

_get_corba_client (
        self,
        ior_ref,
        retriever,
        )

Get a connection to the CORBA server based on the ior_ref

_get_retriever ( self,  server_type )

Return a BioCorba retriever object based on the specified server.

This returns a ready-to-go client retriever which can be used to connect to a BioCorba server.
