I hate to keep bringing up virtual directories, but it's what I'm use
too :-D  When an app interacts with a virtual directory the app knows
LDAP.  The virtual directory is comprised of a set of adapters (what I
equate contexts to) and an orchestration system (what I called a
"router" in my last email).  So are contexts both the adapter and the
orchestration system?  ie if I am getting data from 2 sources am I (as
someone who is going to utilize higgins & the IdAS) responsible for
creating a context that utilizes other contexts?

Thanks
