- * As described above it is possible to specify, at runtime, an alternative ORBSingleton class and
- * an alternative ORB implementation class, via the system properties {@code org.omg.CORBA.ORBSingletonClass}
- * and {@code org.omg.CORBA.ORBClass} respectively.
- * The class loading strategy is organized, such that, in the case of the ORBSingleton
- * the system class loader is used to load the alternative singleton ORB.
- * Thus, it is necessary that an application's CLASSPATH
- * includes the classes for this alternative ORBSingleton, when specified.
+ * When a singleton ORB is configured via the system property,
+ * or orb.properties, it will be
+ * located, and loaded via the system class loader.
+ * Thus, where appropriate, it is necessary that
+ * the classes for this alternative ORBSingleton are available on the application's class path.
+ * It should be noted that the singleton ORB is system wide.
  *
- * In the case of specifying an alternative ORB implementation class, the loading
- * strategy will use the thread context class loader, as appropriate.
+ * When a per-application ORB is created via the 2-arg init methods,
+ * then it will be located using the thread context class loader.
