Name

Name

Synopsis

This interface represents the name of an object in a naming system. A Name can be either a compound name or a composite name. This interface is used primarily by developers who are writing JNDI service providers, not by JNDI application developers. As an application developer, you can use String objects instead of Name objects to specify names in Context and javax.naming.directory.DirContext method calls.
