public BaseDirContext() 
{
        this.env = new Hashtable();
}

Builds a base directory context.

 public BaseDirContext(Hashtable env) 
{
        this.env = env;
}

Builds a base directory context using the given environment.

 public Object addToEnvironment(String propName,
    Object propVal) throws NamingException 
{
        return env.put(propName, propVal);
}

Adds a new environment property to the environment of this context. If the property already exists, its value is overwritten.

 public  void allocate() 
{
        ; // No action taken by the default implementation
}

Allocate resources for this directory context.

 public  void bind(Name name,
    Object obj) throws NamingException 
{
        bind(name.toString(), obj);
}

Binds a name to an object. All intermediate contexts and the target context (that named by all but terminal atomic component of the name) must already exist.

 public  void bind(String name,
    Object obj) throws NamingException 
{
        bind(name, obj, null);
}

Binds a name to an object.

 public  void bind(Name name,
    Object obj,
    Attributes attrs) throws NamingException 
{
        bind(name.toString(), obj, attrs);
}

Binds a name to an object, along with associated attributes. If attrs is null, the resulting binding will have the attributes associated with obj if obj is a DirContext, and no attributes otherwise. If attrs is non-null, the resulting binding will have attrs as its attributes; any attributes associated with obj are ignored.

 abstract public  void bind(String name,
    Object obj,
    Attributes attrs) throws NamingException
Binds a name to an object, along with associated attributes.

 public  void close() throws NamingException 
{
        env.clear();
}

Closes this context. This method releases this context's resources immediately, instead of waiting for them to be released automatically by the garbage collector. This method is idempotent: invoking it on a context that has already been closed has no effect. Invoking any other method on a closed context is not allowed, and results in undefined behaviour.

 public Name composeName(Name name,
    Name prefix) throws NamingException 
{
        prefix = (Name) prefix.clone();
        return prefix.addAll(name);
}

Composes the name of this context with a name relative to this context.

Given a name (name) relative to this context, and the name (prefix) of this context relative to one of its ancestors, this method returns the composition of the two names using the syntax appropriate for the naming system(s) involved. That is, if name names an object relative to this context, the result is the name of the same object, but relative to the ancestor context. None of the names may be null.

 public String composeName(String name,
    String prefix) throws NamingException 
{
        return prefix + "/" + name;
}

Composes the name of this context with a name relative to this context.

 public Context createSubcontext(Name name) throws NamingException 
{
        return createSubcontext(name.toString());
}

Creates and binds a new context. Creates a new context with the given name and binds it in the target context (that named by all but terminal atomic component of the name). All intermediate contexts and the target context must already exist.

 public Context createSubcontext(String name) throws NamingException 
{
        return createSubcontext(name, null);
}

Creates and binds a new context.

 public DirContext createSubcontext(Name name,
    Attributes attrs) throws NamingException 
{
        return createSubcontext(name.toString(), attrs);
}

Creates and binds a new context, along with associated attributes. This method creates a new subcontext with the given name, binds it in the target context (that named by all but terminal atomic component of the name), and associates the supplied attributes with the newly created object. All intermediate and target contexts must already exist. If attrs is null, this method is equivalent to Context.createSubcontext().

 abstract public DirContext createSubcontext(String name,
    Attributes attrs) throws NamingException
Creates and binds a new context, along with associated attributes.

 public  void destroySubcontext(Name name) throws NamingException 
{
        destroySubcontext(name.toString());
}

Destroys the named context and removes it from the namespace. Any attributes associated with the name are also removed. Intermediate contexts are not destroyed.

This method is idempotent. It succeeds even if the terminal atomic name is not bound in the target context, but throws NameNotFoundException if any of the intermediate contexts do not exist. In a federated naming system, a context from one naming system may be bound to a name in another. One can subsequently look up and perform operations on the foreign context using a composite name. However, an attempt destroy the context using this composite name will fail with NotContextException, because the foreign context is not a "subcontext" of the context in which it is bound. Instead, use unbind() to remove the binding of the foreign context. Destroying the foreign context requires that the destroySubcontext() be performed on a context from the foreign context's "native" naming system.

 abstract public  void destroySubcontext(String name) throws NamingException
Destroys the named context and removes it from the namespace.

 public Attributes getAttributes(Name name) throws NamingException 
{
        return getAttributes(name.toString());
}

 public Attributes getAttributes(String name) throws NamingException 
{
        return getAttributes(name, null);
}

 public Attributes getAttributes(Name name,
    String[] attrIds) throws NamingException 
{
        return getAttributes(name.toString(), attrIds);
}

Retrieves selected attributes associated with a named object. See the class description regarding attribute models, attribute type names, and operational attributes.

 abstract public Attributes getAttributes(String name,
    String[] attrIds) throws NamingException

{
        return cacheMaxSize;
}

Return the maximum size of the cache in KB.

 public int getCacheTTL() 
{
        return cacheTTL;
}

 public String getDocBase() 
{
 // 10 MB
    // ------------------------------------------------------------- Properties
        return (this.docBase);
}

Return the document root for this component.

 public Hashtable getEnvironment() throws NamingException 
{
        return env;
}

Retrieves the environment in effect for this context. See class description for more details on environment properties. The caller should not make any changes to the object returned: their effect on the context is undefined. The environment of this context may be changed using addToEnvironment() and removeFromEnvironment().

 abstract public String getNameInNamespace() throws NamingException
Retrieves the full name of this context within its own namespace.

Many naming services have a notion of a "full name" for objects in
their respective namespaces. For example, an LDAP entry has a
distinguished name, and a DNS record has a fully qualified name. This
method allows the client application to retrieve this name. The string
returned by this method is not a JNDI composite name and should not be
passed directly to context methods. In naming systems for which the
notion of full name does not make sense,
OperationNotSupportedException is thrown.

 public NameParser getNameParser(Name name) throws NamingException 
{
        return new NameParserImpl();
}

Retrieves the parser associated with the named context. In a federation of namespaces, different naming systems will parse names differently. This method allows an application to get a parser for parsing names into their atomic components using the naming convention of a particular naming system. Within any single naming system, NameParser objects returned by this method must be equal (using the equals() test).

 public NameParser getNameParser(String name) throws NamingException 
{
        return new NameParserImpl();
}

Retrieves the parser associated with the named context.

 public DirContext getSchema(Name name) throws NamingException 
{
        return getSchema(name.toString());
}

Retrieves the schema associated with the named object. The schema describes rules regarding the structure of the namespace and the attributes stored within it. The schema specifies what types of objects can be added to the directory and where they can be added; what mandatory and optional attributes an object can have. The range of support for schemas is directory-specific.

 abstract public DirContext getSchema(String name) throws NamingException
Retrieves the schema associated with the named object.

 public DirContext getSchemaClassDefinition(Name name) throws NamingException 
{
        return getSchemaClassDefinition(name.toString());
}

 abstract public DirContext getSchemaClassDefinition(String name) throws NamingException
Retrieves a context containing the schema objects of the named
object's class definitions.

        return cached;
}

Is cached ?

 public NamingEnumeration list(Name name) throws NamingException 
{
        return list(name.toString());
}

Enumerates the names bound in the named context, along with the class names of objects bound to them. The contents of any subcontexts are not included.

If a binding is added to or removed from this context, its effect on an enumeration previously returned is undefined.

Enumerates the names bound in the named context, along with the class
names of objects bound to them.

 public NamingEnumeration listBindings(Name name) throws NamingException 
{
        return listBindings(name.toString());
}

If a binding is added to or removed from this context, its effect on an enumeration previously returned is undefined.

 abstract public NamingEnumeration listBindings(String name) throws NamingException
Enumerates the names bound in the named context, along with the
objects bound to them.

 public Object lookup(Name name) throws NamingException 
{
        return lookup(name.toString());
}

Retrieves the named object. If name is empty, returns a new instance of this context (which represents the same naming context as this context, but its environment may be modified independently and it may be accessed concurrently).

 abstract public Object lookup(String name) throws NamingException
Retrieves the named object.

 public Object lookupLink(Name name) throws NamingException 
{
        return lookupLink(name.toString());
}

Retrieves the named object, following links except for the terminal atomic component of the name. If the object bound to name is not a link, returns the object itself.

 abstract public Object lookupLink(String name) throws NamingException
Retrieves the named object, following links except for the terminal
atomic component of the name.

 public  void modifyAttributes(Name name,
    ModificationItem[] mods) throws NamingException 
{
        modifyAttributes(name.toString(), mods);
}

Modifies the attributes associated with a named object using an an ordered list of modifications. The modifications are performed in the order specified. Each modification specifies a modification operation code and an attribute on which to operate. Where possible, the modifications are performed atomically.

    ModificationItem[] mods) throws NamingException
Modifies the attributes associated with a named object using an an
ordered list of modifications.

    Attributes attrs) throws NamingException 
{
        modifyAttributes(name.toString(), mod_op, attrs);
}

 public  void rebind(Name name,
    Object obj) throws NamingException 
{
        rebind(name.toString(), obj);
}

Binds a name to an object, overwriting any existing binding. All intermediate contexts and the target context (that named by all but terminal atomic component of the name) must already exist.

If the object is a DirContext, any existing attributes associated with the name are replaced with those of the object. Otherwise, any existing attributes associated with the name remain unchanged.

 public  void rebind(String name,
    Object obj) throws NamingException 
{
        rebind(name, obj, null);
}

Binds a name to an object, overwriting any existing binding.

 public  void rebind(Name name,
    Object obj,
    Attributes attrs) throws NamingException 
{
        rebind(name.toString(), obj, attrs);
}

Binds a name to an object, along with associated attributes, overwriting any existing binding. If attrs is null and obj is a DirContext, the attributes from obj are used. If attrs is null and obj is not a DirContext, any existing attributes associated with the object already bound in the directory remain unchanged. If attrs is non-null, any existing attributes associated with the object already bound in the directory are removed and attrs is associated with the named object. If obj is a DirContext and attrs is non-null, the attributes of obj are ignored.

 abstract public  void rebind(String name,
    Object obj,
    Attributes attrs) throws NamingException
Binds a name to an object, along with associated attributes,
overwriting any existing binding.

    String newName) throws NamingException
Binds a new name to the object bound to an old name, and unbinds the
old name.

 public NamingEnumeration search(Name name,
    Attributes matchingAttributes) throws NamingException 
{
        return search(name.toString(), matchingAttributes);
}

Searches in a single context for objects that contain a specified set of attributes. This method returns all the attributes of such objects. It is equivalent to supplying null as the atributesToReturn parameter to the method search(Name, Attributes, String[]).
