All Implemented Interfaces:
  `Serializable`

public class InvalidAttributesException extends NamingException
This exception is thrown when an attempt is made to add or modify an attribute set that has been specified incompletely or incorrectly. This could happen, for example, when attempting to add or modify a binding, or to create a new subcontext without specifying all the mandatory attributes required for creation of the object. Another situation in which this exception is thrown is by specification of incompatible attributes within the same attribute set, or attributes in conflict with that specified by the object's schema.

Synchronization and serialization issues that apply to NamingException apply directly here.
