# Class CannotProceedException

java.lang.Object
java.lang.Throwable
java.lang.Exception
javax.naming.NamingException
javax.naming.CannotProceedException

All Implemented Interfaces:
  `Serializable`

public class CannotProceedException extends NamingException
This exception is thrown to indicate that the operation reached a point in the name where the operation cannot proceed any further. When performing an operation on a composite name, a naming service provider may reach a part of the name that does not belong to its namespace. At that point, it can construct a CannotProceedException and then invoke methods provided by javax.naming.spi.NamingManager (such as getContinuationContext()) to locate another provider to continue the operation. If this is not possible, this exception is raised to the caller of the context operation.

If the program wants to handle this exception in particular, it should catch CannotProceedException explicitly before attempting to catch NamingException.

A CannotProceedException instance is not synchronized against concurrent multithreaded access. Multiple threads trying to access and modify CannotProceedException should lock the object.

- ## Field Details

  - ### remainingNewName

    protected Name remainingNewName
    Contains the remaining unresolved part of the second "name" argument to Context.rename(). This information is necessary for continuing the Context.rename() operation.

    This field is initialized to null. It should not be manipulated directly: it should be accessed and updated using getRemainingName() and setRemainingName().

    See Also:
      - `getRemainingNewName()`
      - `setRemainingNewName(javax.naming.Name)`

  - ### environment

    protected Hashtable<?,?> environment
    Contains the environment relevant for the Context or DirContext method that cannot proceed.

    This field is initialized to null. It should not be manipulated directly: it should be accessed and updated using getEnvironment() and setEnvironment().

    See Also:
      - `getEnvironment()`
      - `setEnvironment(java.util.Hashtable<?, ?>)`

  - ### altName

    protected Name altName
    Contains the name of the resolved object, relative to the context `altNameCtx`. It is a composite name. If null, then no name is specified. See the `javax.naming.spi.ObjectFactory.getObjectInstance` method for details on how this is used.

    This field is initialized to null. It should not be manipulated directly: it should be accessed and updated using getAltName() and setAltName().

    See Also:
      - `getAltName()`
      - `setAltName(javax.naming.Name)`
      - `altNameCtx`
      - `ObjectFactory.getObjectInstance(java.lang.Object, javax.naming.Name, javax.naming.Context, java.util.Hashtable<?, ?>)`

  - ### altNameCtx

    protected Context altNameCtx
    Contains the context relative to which `altName` is specified. If null, then the default initial context is implied. See the `javax.naming.spi.ObjectFactory.getObjectInstance` method for details on how this is used.

    This field is initialized to null. It should not be manipulated directly: it should be accessed and updated using getAltNameCtx() and setAltNameCtx().

      - `setAltNameCtx(javax.naming.Context)`
      - `altName`

- ## Constructor Details

  - ### CannotProceedException

    public CannotProceedException(String explanation)
    Constructs a new instance of CannotProceedException using an explanation. All unspecified fields default to null.
    Parameters:
      `explanation` - A possibly null string containing additional detail about this exception. If null, this exception has no detail message.
    See Also:
      - `Throwable.getMessage()`

  - ### CannotProceedException

    public CannotProceedException()
    Constructs a new instance of CannotProceedException. All fields default to null.

- ## Method Details

  - ### getEnvironment

    public Hashtable<?,?> getEnvironment()
    Retrieves the environment that was in effect when this exception was created.
    Returns:
      Possibly null environment property set. null means no environment was recorded for this exception.
    See Also:
      - `setEnvironment(java.util.Hashtable<?, ?>)`

  - ### setEnvironment

    public void setEnvironment(Hashtable<?,?> environment)
    Sets the environment that will be returned when getEnvironment() is called.
    Parameters:
      `environment` - A possibly null environment property set. null means no environment is being recorded for this exception.
    See Also:
      - `getEnvironment()`

  - ### getRemainingNewName

    public Name getRemainingNewName()
    Retrieves the "remaining new name" field of this exception, which is used when this exception is thrown during a rename() operation.
    Returns:
      The possibly null part of the new name that has not been resolved. It is a composite name. It can be null, which means the remaining new name field has not been set.
    See Also:
      - `setRemainingNewName(javax.naming.Name)`

  - ### setRemainingNewName

    public void setRemainingNewName(Name newName)
    Sets the "remaining new name" field of this exception. This is the value returned by `getRemainingNewName()`.

    `newName` is a composite name. If the intent is to set this field using a compound name or string, you must "stringify" the compound name, and create a composite name with a single component using the string. You can then invoke this method using the resulting composite name.

    A copy of `newName` is made and stored. Subsequent changes to `name` does not affect the copy in this NamingException and vice versa.

    Parameters:
      `newName` - The possibly null name to set the "remaining new name" to. If null, it sets the remaining name field to null.
    See Also:
      - `getRemainingNewName()`

  - ### getAltName

    public Name getAltName()
    Retrieves the `altName` field of this exception. This is the name of the resolved object, relative to the context `altNameCtx`. It will be used during a subsequent call to the `javax.naming.spi.ObjectFactory.getObjectInstance` method.
    Returns:
      The name of the resolved object, relative to `altNameCtx`. It is a composite name. If null, then no name is specified.
    See Also:
      - `setAltName(javax.naming.Name)`
      - `getAltNameCtx()`
      - `ObjectFactory.getObjectInstance(java.lang.Object, javax.naming.Name, javax.naming.Context, java.util.Hashtable<?, ?>)`
