CompoundName toString() method in Java with Examples

The toString() method of a javax.naming.CompoundName class is used to create the string representation of this compound name object, using the syntax of the compound name which was passed through properties. if the component is empty then it is represented by an empty string. The string representation of non-empty compound name object created has the same syntax properties and all the components are separated by that syntax in string representation.

Syntax:

public String toString()

Parameters: This method accepts nothing.

Return value: This method returns a non-null string representation of this compound name.

Below programs illustrate the CompoundName.toString() method:
Program 1:

// Java program to demonstrate
// CompoundName.toString()

import java.util.Properties;
import javax.naming.CompoundName;
import javax.naming.InvalidNameException;

public class GFG {
    public static void main(String[] args)
        throws InvalidNameException
    {

        // need properties for CompoundName
        Properties props = new Properties();
        props.put("jndi.syntax.separator", "@");
        props.put("jndi.syntax.direction",
                  "left_to_right");

        // create compound name object
        CompoundName CompoundName1
            = new CompoundName(
                "1@2@3@4@5@6@7",
                props);

        // apply toString()
        String toString
            = CompoundName1.toString();

        // print value
        System.out.println("toString: "
                           + toString);
    }
}

Output:

toString: 1@2@3@4@5@6@7

Program 2:

// Java program to demonstrate
// CompoundName.toString() method

import java.util.Properties;
import javax.naming.CompoundName;
import javax.naming.InvalidNameException;

public class GFG {
    public static void main(String[] args)
        throws InvalidNameException
    {

        // need properties for CompoundName
        Properties props = new Properties();
        props.put("jndi.syntax.separator", "/");
        props.put("jndi.syntax.direction",
                  "left_to_right");

        // create compound name object
        CompoundName CompoundName1
            = new CompoundName(
                "c/e/d/v/a/b/z/y/x/f",
                props);

        // apply toString()
        String toString
            = CompoundName1.toString();

        // print value
        System.out.println("CompoundName:"
                           + toString);
    }
}

Output:

CompoundName:c/e/d/v/a/b/z/y/x/f
