This interface represents a factory that creates an initial context.
The JNDI framework allows for different initial context implementations
to be specified at runtime. The initial context is created using
an initial context factory.
An initial context factory must implement the InitialContextFactory
interface, which provides a method for creating instances of initial
context that implement the Context interface.
In addition, the factory class must be public and must have a public
constructor that accepts no arguments.
Creates an Initial Context for beginning name resolution.
Special requirements of this context are supplied
using environment.
The environment parameter is owned by the caller.
The implementation will not modify the object or keep a reference
to it, although it may keep a reference to a clone or copy.
Parameters:
environment - The possibly null environment
specifying information to be used in the creation
of the initial context.
Returns:
A non-null initial context object that implements the Context
interface.
