Class NameClassPair

    java.lang.Object
      javax.naming.NameClassPair

All Implemented Interfaces:
  Serializable

Direct Known Subclasses:
  Binding

    public class NameClassPair

extends Object
implements Serializable

This class represents the object name and class name pair of a binding found in a context.

A context consists of name-to-object bindings. The NameClassPair class represents the name and the class of the bound object. It consists of a name and a string representing the package-qualified class name.

Use subclassing for naming systems that generate contents of a name/class pair dynamically.

A NameClassPair instance is not synchronized against concurrent access by multiple threads. Threads that need to access a NameClassPair concurrently should synchronize amongst themselves and provide the necessary locking.

Since:
  1.3

  `Context.list(javax.naming.Name)`, Serialized Form

Constructor Summary
`NameClassPair(String name, String className)` Constructs an instance of a NameClassPair given its name and class name.
`NameClassPair(String name, String className, boolean isRelative)` Constructs an instance of a NameClassPair given its name, class name, and whether it is relative to the listing context.

Method Summary
`String` | `getClassName()` Retrieves the class name of the object bound to the name of this binding.
`String` | `getName()` Retrieves the name of this binding.
`String` | `getNameInNamespace()` Retrieves the full name of this binding.
`boolean` | `isRelative()` Determines whether the name of this binding is relative to the target context (which is named by the first parameter of the `list()` method).
`void` | `setClassName(String name)` Sets the class name of this binding.
`void` | `setName(String name)` Sets the name of this binding.
`void` | `setNameInNamespace(String fullName)` Sets the full name of this binding.
`void` | `setRelative(boolean r)` Sets whether the name of this binding is relative to the target context (which is named by the first parameter of the `list()` method).
`String` | `toString()` Generates the string representation of this name/class pair.

Constructor Detail

### NameClassPair

    public NameClassPair(String name,
                         String className)

  Constructs an instance of a NameClassPair given its name and class name.

  Parameters:
    `name` - The non-null name of the object. It is relative to the target context (which is named by the first parameter of the `list()` method)
    `className` - The possibly null class name of the object bound to name. It is null if the object bound is null.
  See Also:
    `getClassName()`, `setClassName(java.lang.String)`, `getName()`, `setName(java.lang.String)`

### NameClassPair

    public NameClassPair(String name,
                         String className,
                         boolean isRelative)

  Constructs an instance of a NameClassPair given its name, class name, and whether it is relative to the listing context.

  Parameters:
    `name` - The non-null name of the object.
    `className` - The possibly null class name of the object bound to name. It is null if the object bound is null.
    `isRelative` - true if `name` is a name relative to the target context (which is named by the first parameter of the `list()` method); false if `name` is a URL string.
  See Also:
    `getClassName()`, `setClassName(java.lang.String)`, `getName()`, `setName(java.lang.String)`, `isRelative()`, `setRelative(boolean)`

Method Detail

### getClassName

    public String getClassName()

  Retrieves the class name of the object bound to the name of this binding. If a reference or some other indirect information is bound, retrieves the class name of the eventual object that will be returned by `Binding.getObject()`.

  Returns:
    The possibly null class name of object bound. It is null if the object bound is null.
  See Also:
    `Binding.getObject()`, `Binding.getClassName()`, `setClassName(java.lang.String)`

### getName

    public String getName()

  Retrieves the name of this binding. If `isRelative()` is true, this name is relative to the target context (which is named by the first parameter of the `list()`). If `isRelative()` is false, this name is a URL string.

  Returns:
    The non-null name of this binding.
  See Also:
    `isRelative()`, `setName(java.lang.String)`

### setName

    public void setName(String name)

  Sets the name of this binding.

  Parameters:
    `name` - the non-null string to use as the name.
  See Also:
    `getName()`, `setRelative(boolean)`

### setClassName

    public void setClassName(String name)

  Sets the class name of this binding.

  Parameters:
    `name` - the possibly null string to use as the class name. If null, `Binding.getClassName()` will return the actual class name of the object in the binding. The class name will be null if the object bound is null.
  See Also:
    `getClassName()`, `Binding.getClassName()`

### isRelative

    public boolean isRelative()

  Determines whether the name of this binding is relative to the target context (which is named by the first parameter of the `list()` method).

  Returns:
    true if the name of this binding is relative to the target context; false if the name of this binding is a URL string.
  See Also:
    `setRelative(boolean)`, `getName()`

### setRelative

    public void setRelative(boolean r)

  Sets whether the name of this binding is relative to the target context (which is named by the first parameter of the `list()` method).

  Parameters:
    `r` - If true, the name of binding is relative to the target context; if false, the name of binding is a URL string.
  See Also:
    `isRelative()`, `setName(java.lang.String)`

### getNameInNamespace

    public String getNameInNamespace()

  Retrieves the full name of this binding. The full name is the absolute name of this binding within its own namespace. See `Context.getNameInNamespace()`.

  In naming systems for which the notion of full name does not apply to this binding an `UnsupportedOperationException` is thrown. This exception is also thrown when a service provider written before the introduction of the method is in use.

  The string returned by this method is not a JNDI composite name and should not be passed directly to context methods.

  Returns:
    The full name of this binding.
  Throws:
    `UnsupportedOperationException` - if the notion of full name does not apply to this binding in the naming system.
  Since:
    1.5
  See Also:
    `setNameInNamespace(java.lang.String)`, `getName()`

### setNameInNamespace

    public void setNameInNamespace(String fullName)

  Sets the full name of this binding. This method must be called to set the full name whenever a `NameClassPair` is created and a full name is applicable to this binding.

  Setting the full name to null, or not setting it at all, will cause `getNameInNamespace()` to throw an exception.

  Parameters:
    `fullName` - The full name to use.
  Since:
    1.5
  See Also:
    `getNameInNamespace()`, `setName(java.lang.String)`

### toString

    public String toString()

  Generates the string representation of this name/class pair. The string representation consists of the name and class name separated by a colon (':'). The contents of this string is useful for debugging and is not meant to be interpreted programmatically.

  Overrides:
    `toString` in class `Object`
  Returns:
    The string representation of this name/class pair.
