/**
 * This exception is used to describe problems encounter while resolving links.
 * Addition information is added to the base NamingException for pinpointing
 * the problem with the link.
 *<p>
 * Analogous to how NamingException captures name resolution information,
 * LinkException captures "link"-name resolution information pinpointing
 * the problem encountered while resolving a link. All these fields may
 * be null.
 * <ul>
 * <li> Link Resolved Name. Portion of link name that has been resolved.
 * <li> Link Resolved Object. Object to which resolution of link name proceeded.
 * <li> Link Remaining Name. Portion of link name that has not been resolved.
 * <li> Link Explanation. Detail explaining why link resolution failed.
 *</ul>
 *
  *<p>
  * A LinkException instance is not synchronized against concurrent
  * multithreaded access. Multiple threads trying to access and modify
  * a single LinkException instance should lock the object.
