* 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.
