CompositeName clone() method in Java with Examples

The clone() method of a javax.naming.CompositeName class is used to return a copy of this composite name object.If you made any changes to the components of this original composite name won’t affect the new copy of CompositeName object and vice versa.

Syntax:

public Object clone()

Parameters: This method accepts nothing.

Return value: This method returns non-null copy of this composite name.

Below programs illustrate the CompositeName.clone() method:
Program 1:




// Java program to demonstrate
// CompositeName.clone()
  
import javax.naming.CompositeName;
import javax.naming.InvalidNameException;
  
public class GFG {
    public static void main(String[] args)
        throws InvalidNameException
    {
  
        // create Composite name object
        CompositeName compositeName
            = new CompositeName("x/y");
  
        // create clone object
        CompositeName cloneComposite
            = (CompositeName)compositeName.clone();
  
        // print CompositeName
        System.out.println("Clone CompositeName: "
                           + cloneComposite);
    }
}


Output:

Clone CompositeName: x/y

Program 2:




// Java program to demonstrate
// CompositeName.clone() method
  
import java.util.Enumeration;
  
import javax.naming.CompositeName;
import javax.naming.InvalidNameException;
  
public class GFG {
    public static void main(String[] args)
        throws InvalidNameException
    {
  
        // create Composite name object
        CompositeName compositeName
            = new CompositeName("x/y/z/a");
  
        // create clone object
        CompositeName cloneComposite
            = (CompositeName)compositeName.clone();
  
        // print CompositeName
        System.out.println("Clone CompositeName: "
                           + cloneComposite);
        System.out.print("Members: ");
        Enumeration<String> enumeration
            = cloneComposite.getAll();
        while (enumeration.hasMoreElements())
            System.out.print(enumeration.nextElement()
                             + ", ");
    }
}


Output:

Clone CompositeName: x/y/z/a
Members: x, y, z, a,
