+/**
+ * This interface represents a factory for creating an object given
+ * an object and attributes about the object.
+ *<p>
+ * The JNDI framework allows for object implementations to
+ * be loaded in dynamically via <em>object factories</em>. See
+ * <tt>ObjectFactory</tt> for details.
+ * <p>
+ * A <tt>DirObjectFactory</tt> extends <tt>ObjectFactory</tt> by allowing
+ * an <tt>Attributes</tt> instance
+ * to be supplied to the <tt>getObjectInstance()</tt> method.
+ * <tt>DirObjectFactory</tt> implementations are intended to be used by <tt>DirContext</tt>
+ * service providers. The service provider, in addition reading an
+ * object from the directory, might already have attributes that
+ * are useful for the object factory to check to see whether the
+ * factory is supposed to process the object. For instance, an LDAP-style
+ * service provider might have read the "objectclass" of the object.
+ * A CORBA object factory might be interested only in LDAP entries
+ * with "objectclass=corbaObject". By using the attributes supplied by
+ * the LDAP service provider, the CORBA object factory can quickly
+ * eliminate objects that it need not worry about, and non-CORBA object
+ * factories can quickly eliminate CORBA-related LDAP entries.

+ * Creates an object using the location or reference information, and attributes
+ * specified.
+ * <p>
+ * Special requirements of this object are supplied
+ * using <code>environment</code>.
+ * An example of such an environment property is user identity
+ * information.
+ *<p>
+ * <tt>DirectoryManager.getObjectInstance()</tt>
+ * successively loads in object factories. If it encounters a <tt>DirObjectFactory</tt>,
+ * it will invoke <tt>DirObjectFactory.getObjectInstance()</tt>;
+ * otherwise, it invokes
+ * <tt>ObjectFactory.getObjectInstance()</tt>. It does this until a factory
+ * produces a non-null answer.
+ * <p> When an exception
+ * is thrown by an object factory, the exception is passed on to the caller
+ * of <tt>DirectoryManager.getObjectInstance()</tt>. The search for other factories
+ * that may produce a non-null answer is halted.
+ * An object factory should only throw an exception if it is sure that
+ * it is the only intended factory and that no other object factories
+ * should be tried.
+ * If this factory cannot create an object using the arguments supplied,
+ * it should return null.
+ *<p>Since <tt>DirObjectFactory</tt> extends <tt>ObjectFactory</tt>, it
+ * effectively
+ * has two <tt>getObjectInstance()</tt> methods, where one differs from the other by
+ * the attributes argument. Given a factory that implements <tt>DirObjectFactory</tt>,
+ * <tt>DirectoryManager.getObjectInstance()</tt> will only
+ * use the method that accepts the attributes argument, while
+ * <tt>NamingManager.getObjectInstance()</tt> will only use the one that does not accept
+ * the attributes argument.
+ *<p>
+ * See <tt>ObjectFactory</tt> for a description URL context factories and other
+ * properties of object factories that apply equally to <tt>DirObjectFactory</tt>.
+ *<p>
+ * The <tt>name</tt>, <tt>attrs</tt>, and <tt>environment</tt> parameters
+ * are owned by the caller.
+ * The implementation will not modify these objects or keep references
+ * to them, although it may keep references to clones or copies.
+ *
+ * @param obj The possibly null object containing location or reference
+ * information that can be used in creating an object.
+ * @param name The name of this object relative to <code>nameCtx</code>,
+ * or null if no name is specified.
+ * @param nameCtx The context relative to which the <code>name</code>
+ * parameter is specified, or null if <code>name</code> is
+ * relative to the default initial context.
+ * @param environment The possibly null environment that is used in
+ * creating the object.
+ * @param attrs The possibly null attributes containing some of <tt>obj</tt>'s
+ * attributes. <tt>attrs</tt> might not necessarily have all of <tt>obj</tt>'s
+ * attributes. If the object factory requires more attributes, it needs
+ * to get it, either using <tt>obj</tt>, or <tt>name</tt> and <tt>nameCtx</tt>.
+ * The factory must not modify attrs.
+ * @return The object created; null if an object cannot be created.
+ * @exception Exception If this object factory encountered an exception
+ * while attempting to create an object, and no other object factories are
+ * to be tried.
