* <li> Use the object factories specified in
* the <tt>Context.OBJECT_FACTORIES</tt> property of the environment,
* and of the provider resource file associated with
* <tt>nameCtx</tt>, in that order.
* The value of this property is a colon-separated list of factory
* class names that are tried in order, and the first one that succeeds

* interface should use

* factory or to the object implementation.
* If there are several possible contexts from which the object
* could be named -- as will often be the case -- it is up to
