+ * <p>Such an object will typically be one of three things:
+ * <ul>
+ * <li>A local Java object, to be mapped out of this environment via a given
+ * bridge.</li>
+ * <li>A proxy object, mapped into this environment via some bridge
+ * <var>B1</var>, and now to be mapped out of this environment via a
+ * given bridge <var>B2</var>.</li>
+ * <li>A proxy object, created as a remote object is mapped into this
+ * environment via a given bridge.</li>
+ * </ul></p>
+ *
+ * <p>The object actually registered may differ from the specified
+ * <code>object</code> that is passed as an argument. This enables an
+ * environment to work in a multi-threaded scenario, where two threads can
+ * call <code>registerInterface</code> for the same combination of
+ * <code>oid</code> and <code>type</code> at the same time; the race
+ * condition is solved by letting one of the calls register its argument
+ * <code>object</code>, ignoring the argument <code>object</code> of the
+ * other call, and letting both calls return the same
+ * <code>object</code>.</p>
+ *
+ * <p>The registered object is held only weakly by the environment. After a
+ * call to <code>registerInterface</code>, a call to
+ * <code>getRegisteredInterface</code> only succeeds as long as the
+ * registered object is still strongly reachable, and the registered object
+ * has not been explicitly revoked by calling
+ * <code>revokeInterface</code>.</p>
+ *
+ * @param object the object to register; must be non-null
+ * @param oid in-out parameter containing the OID of <code>object</code>.
+ * This must be a non-null reference to an array of length at least one;
+ * the zeroth element is used to pass the argument in and out. If the
+ * zeroth element is null on input, the OID will be computed and passed
+ * out (that is, the zeroth element will never be null upon normal
+ * return).
+ * @param type the UNO interface type to register. This argument must be
+ * non-null, and must denote a UNO interface type. The given
+ * <code>object</code> should implement this <code>type</code>.
+ * @return the registered object (may differ from the <code>object</code>
+ * passed in); will never be null
