For that particular bit of data, it seems most people expect there to be some policy on the context instance which could be quieried (post-create, pre-open state) >>> Michael McIntosh <mikemci@xxxxxxxxxx> 11/22/06 6:54 AM >>> <snip/> > >4.

Rather than removing it - then putting it back later - I'd prefer we leave the interface and have it throw org.eclipse.higgins.idas.NotImplementedException for now. My understanding is that this would be a place to make information accessible about what the Context Factory requires for all of its "owned" Contexts. For example - a policy that states that each Context requires a Username and Passowrd Credential to be passed to the open method.
