Resolver (Java SE 11 & JDK 11 ) (original) (raw)

public interface Resolver
This interface represents an "intermediate context" for name resolution.
The Resolver interface contains methods that are implemented by contexts that do not support subtypes of Context, but which can act as intermediate contexts for resolution purposes.
A Name parameter passed to any method is owned by the caller. The service provider will not modify the object or keep a reference to it. A ResolveResult object returned by any method is owned by the caller. The caller may subsequently modify it; the service provider may not.

                           throws [NamingException](../NamingException.html "class in javax.naming")  
     Partially resolves a name. Stops at the first context that is an instance of a given subtype of`Context`.  
     Parameters:  
     `name` \- the name to resolve  
     `contextType` \- the type of object to resolve. This should be a subtype of `Context`.  
     Returns:  
     the object that was found, along with the unresolved suffix of `name`. Cannot be null.  
     Throws:  
     `[NotContextException](../NotContextException.html "class in javax.naming")` \- if no context of the appropriate type is found  
     `[NamingException](../NamingException.html "class in javax.naming")` \- if a naming exception was encountered
