CompoundName get() method in Java with Examples

The get() method of a javax.naming.CompoundName class is used to get a component of this compound name object. The position passed as a parameter used to get the component present at that position from the compound name object.

Syntax:

public String get(int posn)

Parameters: This method accepts posn which is 0-based index of the component to retrieve. Must be in the range [0, size()).

Return value: This method returns the component at index posn.

Exception: This method throws ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException if posn is outside the specified range.

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




// Java program to demonstrate
// CompoundName.get()
  
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("a:b:z:y:x", props);
  
        // apply get()
        String pos1 = CompoundName1.get(0);
        String pos2 = CompoundName1.get(1);
  
        // print value
        System.out.println(pos1);
        System.out.println(pos2);
    }
}


Output:

a
b

Program 2:




// Java program to demonstrate
// CompoundName.get() 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 get()
        String pos3 = CompoundName1.get(3);
        String pos4 = CompoundName1.get(4);
  
        // print value
        System.out.println("position 3:"
                           + pos3);
        System.out.println("position 4:"
                           + pos4);
    }
}


Output:

position 3:v
position 4:a
