  * This is the superclass of all exceptions thrown by
  * operations in the Context and DirContext interfaces.
  * The nature of the failure is described by the name of the subclass.
  * This exception captures the information pinpointing where the operation
  * failed, such as where resolution last proceeded to.
  * <ul>
  * <li> Resolved Name. Portion of name that has been resolved.
  * <li> Resolved Object. Object to which resolution of name proceeded.
  * <li> Remaining Name. Portion of name that has not been resolved.
  * <li> Explanation. Detail explaining why name resolution failed.
  * <li> Root Exception. The exception that caused this naming exception
  *                     to be thrown.
  *</ul>
  * null is an acceptable value for any of these fields. When null,
  * it means that no such information has been recorded for that field.
  *<p>
  * A NamingException instance is not synchronized against concurrent
  * multithreaded access. Multiple threads trying to access and modify
  * a single NamingException instance should lock the object.
  *<p>
  * This exception has been retrofitted to conform to
  * the general purpose exception-chaining mechanism.  The
  * <i>root exception</i> (or <i>root cause</i>) is the same object as the
  * <i>cause</i> returned by the {@link Throwable#getCause()} method.
