public interface NameContext
extends NameContextElement

A NameContext represents an interface for binding String names to Object "elements". The interface includes methods for putting, getting, removing and listing elements, as well as testing to see if an element is bound.

A NameContext also implements NameContextElement, meaning that it may itself be bound into another NameContext, and has a property "nameContext" containing the NameContext into which it has been bound. This allows NameResolvers to navigate through a hierarchy of NameContexts.
