/**
* Interface to be implemented by classes that want to have access to the base context
* used in the active ContextSource
. There are several cases in which
* services may want to have access to the base context, e.g. when working with groups
* (groupOfNames
objectclass), in which case the full DN of each group member
* needs to be specified in the attribute value.
*
* If a class implements this interface and a {@link BaseLdapPathBeanPostProcessor} is
* defined in the ApplicationContext
, the default base path will
* automatically passed to the {@link #setBaseLdapPath(DistinguishedName)} method on
* initialization.
*
* NB:The ContextSource
needs to be a subclass of
* {@link AbstractContextSource} for this mechanism to work.

* @author Mattias Hellborg Arthursson

* as of 2.0. Use {@link BaseLdapNameAware} instead.
