Common Base Event factory context

The event factory context provides a service to look up event factory homes. The event factory context can be retrieved using a call to EventFactoryContext.getInstance(). Using this class, one can look up the event factory homes by name, and avoid the need to include the typed home in code. The EventFactoryHome must be located on the classpath to be found. The EventFactoryContext also stores an EventFactoryHome as a default, which can be obtained with a call to EventFactoryContext.getInstance().getEventFactoryHome().

In WebSphere Application Server, the EventFactoryContext is configured with a default EventFactoryHome which is associated to a ContentHandler capable of supplying both event template information, as well as WebSphere Application Server runtime default information.
