## Uses of Interface
javax.naming.Context

Packages that use Context
javax.naming: Provides the classes and interfaces for accessing naming services.
javax.naming.directory: Extends the `javax.naming` package to provide functionality for accessing directory services.
javax.naming.event: Provides support for event notification when accessing naming and directory services.
javax.naming.ldap: Provides support for LDAPv3 extended operations and controls.
javax.naming.spi
javax.sql.rowset.spi: The standard classes and interfaces that a third party vendor has to use in its implementation of a synchronization provider.

### Uses of Context in javax.naming

Classes in javax.naming that implement Context
`class` `InitialContext` This class is the starting context for performing naming operations.

Fields in javax.naming declared as Context
`protected Context` CannotProceedException.`altNameCtx` Contains the context relative to which `altName` is specified.
`protected Context` InitialContext.`defaultInitCtx` Field holding the result of calling NamingManager.getInitialContext().

Methods in javax.naming that return Context
`Context` Context.`createSubcontext(Name name)` Creates and binds a new context.
`Context` InitialContext.`createSubcontext(Name name)`
`Context` Context.`createSubcontext(String name)` Creates and binds a new context.
`Context` InitialContext.`createSubcontext(String name)`
`Context` CannotProceedException.`getAltNameCtx()` Retrieves the `altNameCtx` field of this exception.
`protected Context` InitialContext.`getDefaultInitCtx()` Retrieves the initial context by calling `NamingManager.getInitialContext()` and cache it in defaultInitCtx.
`abstract Context` ReferralException.`getReferralContext()` Retrieves the context at which to continue the method.
`abstract Context` ReferralException.`getReferralContext(Hashtable<?,?> env)` Retrieves the context at which to continue the method using environment properties.
`protected Context` InitialContext.`getURLOrDefaultInitCtx(Name name)` Retrieves a context for resolving `name`.
`protected Context` InitialContext.`getURLOrDefaultInitCtx(String name)` Retrieves a context for resolving the string name `name`.

Methods in javax.naming with parameters of type Context
`void` CannotProceedException.`setAltNameCtx(Context altNameCtx)` Sets the `altNameCtx` field of this exception.

### Uses of Context in javax.naming.directory

Subinterfaces of Context in javax.naming.directory
`interface` `DirContext` The directory service interface, containing methods for examining and updating attributes associated with objects, and for searching the directory.

Classes in javax.naming.directory that implement Context
`class` `InitialDirContext` This class is the starting context for performing directory operations.

### Uses of Context in javax.naming.event

Subinterfaces of Context in javax.naming.event
`interface` `EventContext` Contains methods for registering/deregistering listeners to be notified of events fired when objects named in a context changes.
`interface` `EventDirContext` Contains methods for registering listeners to be notified of events fired when objects named in a directory context changes.

### Uses of Context in javax.naming.ldap

Subinterfaces of Context in javax.naming.ldap
`interface` `LdapContext` This interface represents a context in which you can perform operations with LDAPv3-style controls and perform LDAPv3-style extended operations.

Classes in javax.naming.ldap that implement Context
`class` `InitialLdapContext` This class is the starting context for performing LDAPv3-style extended operations and controls.

Methods in javax.naming.ldap that return Context
`abstract Context` LdapReferralException.`getReferralContext()` Retrieves the context at which to continue the method using the context's environment and no controls.
`abstract Context` LdapReferralException.`getReferralContext(Hashtable<?,?> env)` Retrieves the context at which to continue the method using environment properties and no controls.
`abstract Context` LdapReferralException.`getReferralContext(Hashtable<?,?> env, Control[] reqCtls)` Retrieves the context at which to continue the method using request controls and environment properties.
