## Class OperationNotSupportedException

- java.lang.Object
- - java.lang.Throwable
  - - java.lang.Exception
    - - javax.naming.NamingException
      - - javax.naming.OperationNotSupportedException

- All Implemented Interfaces:
    Serializable

      public class OperationNotSupportedException
      extends NamingException

  This exception is thrown when a context implementation does not support the operation being invoked. For example, if a server does not support the Context.bind() method it would throw OperationNotSupportedException when the bind() method is invoked on it.

  Synchronization and serialization issues that apply to NamingException apply directly here.

  Since:
    1.3
