Description

To quote https://www.osgi.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=138 :

The algorithm presented in the OSGI Enterprise 4.2 Specification, section
126.4, "JNDI Provider Admin service" lists seven steps that are to be taken
when converting a description object to a requested object.

A new step should be inserted before the current step 7, in which if
javax.naming.Context.OBJECT_FACTORIES is set as an environment or system
property, then its value should be handled as per the existing javadoc. This
states:

'Constant that holds the name of the environment property for specifying the
list of object factories to use. The value of the property should be a
colon-separated list of the fully qualified class names of factory classes that
will create an object given information about the object. This property may be
specified in the environment, an applet parameter, a system property, or one or
more resource files. The value of this constant is
"java.naming.factory.object".'
