duke@1 29 * An object containing a modifiable list of <code>String</code> objects
duke@1 30 * that represent property names.
duke@1 31 * This class is used in <code>Request</code> operations to
duke@1 32 * describe the contexts that need to be resolved and sent with the
duke@1 33 * invocation. (A context is resolved by giving a property name
duke@1 34 * and getting back the value associated with it.) This is done
duke@1 35 * by calling the <code>Context</code> method
duke@1 36 * <code>get_values</code> and supplying a string from a
duke@1 37 * <code>ContextList</code> object as the third parameter.
duke@1 38 * The method <code>get_values</code> returns an <code>NVList</code>
duke@1 39 * object containing the <code>NamedValue</code> objects that hold
duke@1 40 * the value(s) identified by the given string.
duke@1 41 * <P>
duke@1 42 * A <code>ContextList</code> object is created by the ORB, as
duke@1 43 * illustrated here:
duke@1 44 * <PRE>
duke@1 45 * ORB orb = ORB.init(args, null);
duke@1 46 * org.omg.CORBA.ContextList ctxList = orb.create_context_list();
duke@1 47 * </PRE>
duke@1 48 * The variable <code>ctxList</code> represents an empty
duke@1 49 * <code>ContextList</code> object. Strings are added to
duke@1 50 * the list with the method <code>add</code>, accessed
duke@1 51 * with the method <code>item</code>, and removed with the
duke@1 52 * method <code>remove</code>.
