Thanks edgar..
For those folks who are starting out or don't read binary
Context and InitialContext are part of the javax.naming package....
So you'll need to
import javax.naming.Context;
import javax.naming.InitialContext;
The javadocs are less cryptic.. Sometimes is just knowing which ones one has
to read..
Many thanks again mark
