public interface NamingContextExtOperations
extends NamingContextOperations

This interface has been introduced for the Interoperable Name Service. This interface extends NamingContext and provides several new methods to manage CORBA URL.

Method Summary
`Object` `resolve_str(java.lang.String n)` This is a convenience operation that performs a resolve in the same manner as NamingContext::resolve.
`NameComponent[]` `to_name(java.lang.String sn)` This operation accepts a stringified name and returns a Name.
`java.lang.String` `to_string(NameComponent[] n)` This operation accepts Name and returns a stringified name.
`java.lang.String` `to_url(java.lang.String addr, java.lang.String sn)` This operation takes an URL address and performs any escapes necessary on the stringified name and returns a fully formed URL string.

Method Detail

### to_string

    public java.lang.String to_string(NameComponent[] n)
                               throws InvalidName

  This operation accepts Name and returns a stringified name.
  Parameters:
    `n` - the name to stringified.
  Throws:
    `InvalidName` - This exception is raised if the name is invalid.

### to_name

    public NameComponent[] to_name(java.lang.String sn)
                            throws InvalidName

  This operation accepts a stringified name and returns a Name.
  Parameters:
    `sn` - the stringified name to transform to a name.
  Throws:
    `InvalideName` - This exception is raised if the stringified name is syntactically malformed or violates an implementation limit.

### to_url

    public java.lang.String to_url(java.lang.String addr,
                                   java.lang.String sn)
                            throws InvalidAddress,
                                   InvalidName

  This operation takes an URL address and performs any escapes necessary on the stringified name and returns a fully formed URL string.
  Parameters:
    `addr` - the address ( for example myhost.xyz.com )
    `sn` - the stringified name to add to the URL
  Returns:
    the URL string format.
  Throws:
    `InvalidAddress` - This exception is raises if a address is invalid ( it means that the address does not respect the address format ).
    `InvalidName` - This exception is raised if the stringified name is syntactically malformed or violates an implementation limit.

### resolve_str

    public Object resolve_str(java.lang.String n)
                       throws NotFound,
                              CannotProceed,
                              InvalidName

  This is a convenience operation that performs a resolve in the same manner as NamingContext::resolve. It accepts a stringified name as an argument instead of a Name.
  Parameters:
    `n` - the stringified name of the object (or naming context) to resolve
  Returns:
    the resolved object.
  Throws:
    `NotFound` - Indicates the name does not identify a binding.
    `CannotProceed` - Indicates that the implementation has given up for some reason. The client, however, may be able to continue the operation at the returned naming context.
    `InvalidName` - Indicates the name is invalid. (A name of length 0 is invalid; implementations may place other restrictions on names.)
