/**
 * This class is the starting context for performing naming operations.
 *<p>
 * All naming operations are relative to a context.
 * The initial context implements the Context interface and
 * provides the starting point for resolution of names.
 *<p>
 * <a name=ENVIRONMENT></a>
 * When the initial context is constructed, its environment
 * is initialized with properties defined in the environment parameter
 * passed to the constructor, and in any
 * <a href=Context.html#RESOURCEFILES>application resource files</a>.
 * In addition, a small number of standard JNDI properties may
 * be specified as system properties or as applet parameters
 * (through the use of {@link Context#APPLET}).
 * These special properties are listed in the field detail sections of the
 * <a href=Context.html#field_detail><tt>Context</tt></a> and
 * <a href=ldap/LdapContext.html#field_detail><tt>LdapContext</tt></a>
 * interface documentation.
 *<p>
 * JNDI determines each property's value by merging
 * the values from the following two sources, in order:
 * <ol>
 * <li>
 * The first occurrence of the property from the constructor's
 * environment parameter and (for appropriate properties) the applet
 * parameters and system properties.
 * <li>
 * The application resource files (<tt>jndi.properties</tt>).
 * </ol>
 * For each property found in both of these two sources, or in
 * more than one application resource file, the property's value
 * is determined as follows.  If the property is
 * one of the standard JNDI properties that specify a list of JNDI
 * factories (see <a href=Context.html#LISTPROPS><tt>Context</tt></a>),
 * all of the values are
 * concatenated into a single colon-separated list.  For other
 * properties, only the first value found is used.
 *
 *<p>
 * The initial context implementation is determined at runtime.
 * The default policy uses the environment property
 * "{@link Context#INITIAL_CONTEXT_FACTORY java.naming.factory.initial}",
 * which contains the class name of the initial context factory.
 * An exception to this policy is made when resolving URL strings, as described
 * below.
 *<p>
 * When a URL string (a <tt>String</tt> of the form
 * <em>scheme_id:rest_of_name</em>) is passed as a name parameter to
 * any method, a URL context factory for handling that scheme is
 * located and used to resolve the URL.  If no such factory is found,
 * the initial context specified by
 * <tt>"java.naming.factory.initial"</tt> is used.  Similarly, when a
 * <tt>CompositeName</tt> object whose first component is a URL string is
 * passed as a name parameter to any method, a URL context factory is
 * located and used to resolve the first name component.
 * See {@link NamingManager#getURLContext
 * <tt>NamingManager.getURLContext()</tt>} for a description of how URL
 * context factories are located.
 *<p>
 * This default policy of locating the initial context and URL context
 * factories may be overridden
 * by calling
 * <tt>NamingManager.setInitialContextFactoryBuilder()</tt>.
 *<p>
 * NoInitialContextException is thrown when an initial context cannot
 * be instantiated. This exception can be thrown during any interaction 
 * with the InitialContext, not only when the InitialContext is constructed.
 * For example, the implementation of the initial context might lazily
 * retrieve the context only when actual methods are invoked on it.
 * The application should not have any dependency on when the existence
 * of an initial context is determined.
 *<p>
 * When the environment property "java.naming.factory.initial" is
 * non-null, the InitialContext constructor will attempt to create the
 * initial context specified therein. At that time, the initial context factory
 * involved might throw an exception if a problem is encountered. However,
 * it is provider implementation-dependent when it verifies and indicates
 * to the users of the initial context any environment property- or
 * connection- related problems. It can do so lazily--delaying until
 * an operation is performed on the context, or eagerly, at the time
 * the context is constructed.
 *<p>
 * An InitialContext instance is not synchronized against concurrent
 * access by multiple threads. Multiple threads each manipulating a
 * different InitialContext instance need not synchronize.
 * Threads that need to access a single InitialContext instance
 * concurrently should synchronize amongst themselves and provide the
 * necessary locking.
