## File System

> Sun's file system service provider supports storing Java objects in the file system. Specifically, it supports the binding of `Referenceable` objects. Such objects are stored as a set of properties in a file called `.bindings`. The parent directory that contains this `.bindings` file is the parent context of these bindings.

> For example, if you have a file directory called `food`, then you can add a binding to it as follows:

> >     ctx.bind("food/fav", new Fruit("orange"));

> The binding for `"fav"` will be stored in the file `food/.bindings`. You can subsequently look up the object

> >     Fruit f = (Fruit) ctx.lookup("food/fav");

> See The Basics trail for more examples.
