| /** |
| * This interface represents a factory for obtaining the state of an |
| * object and corresponding attributes for binding. |
| *<p> |
| * The JNDI framework allows for object implementations to |
| * be loaded in dynamically via <tt>object factories</tt>. |
| * <p> |
| * A <tt>DirStateFactory</tt> extends <tt>StateFactory</tt> |
| * by allowing an <tt>Attributes</tt> instance |
| * to be supplied to and be returned by the <tt>getStateToBind()</tt> method. |
| * <tt>DirStateFactory</tt> implementations are intended to be used by |
| * <tt>DirContext</tt> service providers. |
| * When a caller binds an object using <tt>DirContext.bind()</tt>, |
| * he might also specify a set of attributes to be bound with the object. |
| * The object and attributes to be bound are passed to |
| * the <tt>getStateToBind()</tt> method of a factory. |
| * If the factory processes the object and attributes, it returns |
| * a corresponding pair of object and attributes to be bound. |
| * If the factory does not process the object, it must return null. |
| *<p> |
| * For example, a caller might bind a printer object with some printer-related |
| * attributes. |
| *<blockquote><pre> |
| * ctx.rebind("inky", printer, printerAttrs); |
| *</pre></blockquote> |
| * An LDAP service provider for <tt>ctx</tt> uses a <tt>DirStateFactory</tt> |
| * (indirectly via <tt>DirectoryManager.getStateToBind()</tt>) |
| * and gives it <tt>printer</tt> and <tt>printerAttrs</tt>. A factory for |
| * an LDAP directory might turn <tt>printer</tt> into a set of attributes |
| * and merge that with <tt>printerAttrs</tt>. The service provider then |
| * uses the resulting attributes to create an LDAP entry and updates |
| * the directory. |
| * |
| * <p> Since <tt>DirStateFactory</tt> extends <tt>StateFactory</tt>, it |
| * has two <tt>getStateToBind()</tt> methods, where one |
| * differs from the other by the attributes |
| * argument. <tt>DirectoryManager.getStateToBind()</tt> will only use |
| * the form that accepts the attributes argument, while |
| * <tt>NamingManager.getStateToBind()</tt> will only use the form that |
| * does not accept the attributes argument. |
| * |
| * <p> Either form of the <tt>getStateToBind()</tt> method of a |
| * DirStateFactory may be invoked multiple times, possibly using different |
| * parameters. The implementation is thread-safe. |

| * <tt>DirectoryManager.getStateToBind()</tt> |
| * successively loads in state factories. If a factory implements |
| * <tt>DirStateFactory</tt>, <tt>DirectoryManager</tt> invokes this method; |
| * otherwise, it invokes <tt>StateFactory.getStateToBind()</tt>. |
| * It does this until a factory produces a non-null answer. |
| *<p> |
| * When an exception is thrown by a factory, |
| * the exception is passed on to the caller |
| * of <tt>DirectoryManager.getStateToBind()</tt>. The search for other factories |
| * that may produce a non-null answer is halted. |
| * A factory should only throw an exception if it is sure that |
| * it is the only intended factory and that no other factories |
| * should be tried. |
| * If this factory cannot create an object using the arguments supplied, |
| * it should return null. |
| * <p> |
| * The <code>name</code> and <code>nameCtx</code> parameters may |
| * optionally be used to specify the name of the object being created. |
| * See the description of "Name and Context Parameters" in |
| * {@link ObjectFactory#getObjectInstance ObjectFactory.getObjectInstance()} |
| * for details. |
| * If a factory uses <code>nameCtx</code> it should synchronize its use |
| * against concurrent access, since context implementations are not |
| * guaranteed to be thread-safe. |
| *<p> |
| * The <tt>name</tt>, <tt>inAttrs</tt>, and <tt>environment</tt> parameters |
| * are owned by the caller. |
| * The implementation will not modify these objects or keep references |
| * to them, although it may keep references to clones or copies. |
| * The object returned by this method is owned by the caller. |
| * The implementation will not subsequently modify it. |
| * It will contain either a new <tt>Attributes</tt> object that is |
| * likewise owned by the caller, or a reference to the original |
| * <tt>inAttrs</tt> parameter. |
| * |
| * @param obj A possibly null object whose state is to be retrieved. |
| * @param name The name of this object relative to <code>nameCtx</code>, |
| * or null if no name is specified. |
| * @param nameCtx The context relative to which the <code>name</code> |
| * parameter is specified, or null if <code>name</code> is |
| * relative to the default initial context. |
| * @param environment The possibly null environment to |
| * be used in the creation of the object's state. |
| * @param inAttrs The possibly null attributes to be bound with the object. |
| * The factory must not modify <tt>inAttrs</tt>. |
| * @return A <tt>Result</tt> containing the object's state for binding |
| * and the corresponding |
| * attributes to be bound; null if the object don't use this factory. |
