Interface ContextFactory

All Known Implementing Classes:

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 Details

    • 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
