Abstract
A process and system for providing name service scoping behavior is implemented. In an object-oriented data processing system, a request is received for an initial context for a namespace from a requesting object. A scoped initial context factory object is constructed, and an initial context is requested from the scoped initial context factory object. A class for the scoped initial context factory object may be determined from a variable in a hash table object passed as an argument. In response to the request for an initial context from the scoped initial context factory object, an initial context is requested from a non-scoped initial context factory object. The scoped initial context factory object may be a subclass of the non-scoped initial context factory object. The initial context returned by the non-scoped initial context factory object is scoped to a partition of the namespace, and the scoped initial context is returned. The initial context returned by the non-scoped initial context factory object may be scoped by performing a name service lookup on the partition of the namespace. The requesting object and the scoping object may be implemented in a platform-independent object-oriented programming language, such as Java.
