## Class LimitExceededException

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

- All Implemented Interfaces:
    Serializable
  Direct Known Subclasses:
    SizeLimitExceededException, TimeLimitExceededException

      public class LimitExceededException
      extends NamingException

  This exception is thrown when a method terminates abnormally due to a user or system specified limit. This is different from a InsufficientResourceException in that LimitExceededException is due to a user/system specified limit. For example, running out of memory to complete the request would be an insufficient resource. The client asking for 10 answers and getting back 11 is a size limit exception.

  Examples of these limits include client and server configuration limits such as size, time, number of hops, etc.

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