An object element defines a well-known object in the IceGrid registry. Clients can refer to this object using only its identity, or they can search for well-known objects of a specific type.
This element may only appear as a child of an adapter element or a replica-group element.
The following attributes are supported:

Here is an example to demonstrate the use of this element:
<adapter name="MyAdapter" id="WellKnownAdapter" ...> <object identity="WellKnownObject" type="::Module::WellKnownInterface"/> </adapter>
In the configuration above, the object can be located via the equivalent proxies WellKnownObject and WellKnownObject@WellKnownAdapter.
