public class NdsNameParser

extends java.lang.Object

implements javax.naming.NameParser

Parses strings to names using the right-to-left dot-separated NDS naming convention.

The NDS name parser keeps track of an optional tree name. Two NDS name parsers are defined to be equal if and only if they service the same tree. An NDS name parser is defined to be not equal to any other name parser if the no-arg constructor is used. But it will still parse names correctly.
