public interface NamingContext
extends NamingContextOperations, Object, IDLEntity

The interface for the naming context. The naming context can store (bound) and retrieve (resolve) the named objects or named child contexts. These operations are defined in a separate interface.

Gives the object a name, valid in this context.

Specified by:
bind in interface NamingContextOperations
Parameters:
a_name - the name, being given to the object.
an_object - the object, being named.
Throws:
AlreadyBound - if the object is already named in this context.
InvalidName - if the name has zero length or otherwise invalid.
NotFound
CannotProceed

bind_context

void bind_context(NameComponent[] a_name,
                  NamingContext a_context)
                  throws NotFound,
                         CannotProceed,
                         InvalidName,
                         AlreadyBound
Gives a child context name, valid in this context.

Specified by:
bind_context in interface NamingContextOperations
Parameters:
a_name - the name, being given to the child context.
a_context - the child context being named.
Throws:
AlreadyBound - if the child context is already named in the current context.
NotFound
CannotProceed
InvalidName

bind_new_context

NamingContext bind_new_context(NameComponent[] a_name)
                               throws NotFound,
                                      AlreadyBound,
                                      CannotProceed,
                                      InvalidName
Create a new context and give it a given name (bound it) in the current context.

Specified by:
bind_new_context in interface NamingContextOperations
Parameters:
a_name - the name being given to the new context.
Returns:
the newly created context.
Throws:
AlreadyBound - if the name is already in use.
InvalidName - if the name has zero length or otherwise invalid.
NotFound
CannotProceed

destroy

void destroy()
             throws NotEmpty
Destroy this context (must be empty).

Specified by:
destroy in interface NamingContextOperations
Throws:
NotEmpty - if the context being destroyed is not empty.

list

void list(int amount,
          BindingListHolder a_list,
          BindingIteratorHolder an_iter)
Iterate over all bindings, defined in this namind context.

Specified by:
list in interface NamingContextOperations
Parameters:
amount - the maximal number of context to return in the holder a_list. The remaining bindings are accessible via iterator an_iter. If the parameter amount is zero, all bindings are accessed only via this iterator.
a_list - the holder, where the returned bindigs are stored.
an_iter - the iterator that can be used to access the remaining bindings.

new_context

NamingContext new_context()
Creates a new naming context, not bound to any name.

Specified by:
new_context in interface NamingContextOperations

rebind

void rebind(NameComponent[] a_name,
            Object an_object)
            throws NotFound,
                   CannotProceed,
                   InvalidName
Names or renames the object.

Specified by:
rebind in interface NamingContextOperations
Parameters:
a_name - the new name, being given to the object. If the object is already named in this context, it is renamed.
an_object - the object, being named.
Throws:
InvalidName - if the name has zero length or otherwise invalid.
NotFound
CannotProceed

rebind_context

void rebind_context(NameComponent[] a_name,
                    NamingContext a_context)

                           CannotProceed,
                           InvalidName
Names or renames the child context. If the child context is already named in the current context, it is renamed.

Specified by:
rebind_context in interface NamingContextOperations
Parameters:
a_name - the name, being given to the child context.
a_context - the child context being named.
Throws:
InvalidName - if the name has zero length or otherwise invalid.
NotFound
CannotProceed

resolve

Object resolve(NameComponent[] a_name)
               throws NotFound,

Get the object, bound to the specified name in this context.

Specified by:
resolve in interface NamingContextOperations
Parameters:
a_name - the object name.
Returns:
the object, matching this name. The client usually casts or narrows (using the helper) the returned value to the more specific type.
