ContextFactory (Naming project for DSOL 4.1.2 API)

All Known Implementing Classes:

FileContextFactory, JVMContextFactory, RemoteContextFactory
```
public interface ContextFactory
```
This interface represents a factory that creates an initial context. It is based on the InitialContentFactory from javax.naming but creates a lightweight ContextInterface rather than the heavyweight JNDI context.

- Method Detail
  - getInitialContext
```
ContextInterface getInitialContext(Hashtable<?,?> environment,
                                   String atomicName)
                            throws NamingException
```
    Creates an Initial Context for beginning name resolution. Special requirements of this context are supplied using environment. Different implementations exist, such as the JVMContext, the FileContext and the RemoteContext. A remote context registers itself in the RMI registry using a provided key from the environment. The remote event producer for the remote context uses that same key, extended with the string "_producer".
    
    Parameters:
    
    environment - The possibly null environment specifying information to be used in the creation of the initial context
    
    atomicName - String; the name under which the root context will be registered
    
    Returns:
    
    A non-null initial context object that implements the ContextInterface
    
    Throws:
    
    NamingException - when the initial context could not be created
