public abstract class ReferralException extends NamingException
A service provider provides a subclass of ReferralException by providing implementations for getReferralInfo() and getReferralContext() (and appropriate constructors and/or corresponding "set" methods).
The following code sample shows how ReferralException can be used.
while (true) {
try {
bindings = ctx.listBindings(name);
while (bindings.hasMore()) {
b = bindings.next();
...
}
break;
} catch (ReferralException e) {
ctx = e.getReferralContext();
}
}
ReferralException is an abstract class. Concrete implementations determine its synchronization and serialization properties.
An environment parameter passed to the getReferralContext() method is owned by the caller. The service provider will not modify the object or keep a reference to it, but may keep a reference to a clone of it.

public abstract Object getReferralInfo()
public abstract Context getReferralContext() throws NamingException
To continue the operation, the client program should re-invoke the method using the same arguments as the original invocation.
NamingException - If a naming exception was encountered.
Call either retryReferral() or skipReferral()
to continue processing referrals.public abstract Context getReferralContext(Hashtable<?,?> env) throws NamingException
The referral context is created using env as its environment properties. This method should be used instead of the no-arg overloaded form when the caller needs to use different environment properties for the referral context. It might need to do this, for example, when it needs to supply different authentication information to the referred server in order to create the referral context.
To continue the operation, the client program should re-invoke the method using the same arguments as the original invocation.
env - The possibly null environment to use when retrieving the
referral context. If null, no environment properties will be used.NamingException - If a naming exception was encountered.
Call either retryReferral() or skipReferral()
to continue processing referrals.public abstract boolean skipReferral()
getReferralContext to allow the processing of
other referrals to continue.
The following code fragment shows a typical usage pattern.
} catch (ReferralException e) {
if (!shallIFollow(e.getReferralInfo())) {
if (!e.skipReferral()) {
return;
}
}
ctx = e.getReferralContext();
}
public abstract void retryReferral()
getReferralContext to allow the current
referral to be retried.
The following code fragment shows a typical usage pattern.
} catch (ReferralException e) {
while (true) {
try {
ctx = e.getReferralContext(env);
break;
} catch (NamingException ne) {
if (! shallIRetry()) {
return;
}
// modify environment properties (env), if necessary
e.retryReferral();
}
}
