## javax.naming.spi
Interface InitialContextFactoryBuilder

public interface InitialContextFactoryBuilder

This interface represents a builder that creates initial context factories.

The JNDI framework allows for different initial context implementations to be specified at runtime. An initial context is created using an initial context factory. A program can install its own builder that creates initial context factories, thereby overriding the default policies used by the framework, by calling NamingManager.setInitialContextFactoryBuilder(). The InitialContextFactoryBuilder interface must be implemented by such a builder.

  1.3

Method Detail

### createInitialContextFactory

    public InitialContextFactory createInitialContextFactory(Hashtable environment)
                                                      throws NamingException

  Parameters:
    `environment` - Environment used in creating an intial context implementation. Can be null.
  Returns:
    A non-null initial context factory.
  Throws:
    `NamingException` - If an initial context factory could not be created.
