# Class IllegalNameException

Object

Exception
DataStoreException
NoSuchDataException
IllegalNameException

All Implemented Interfaces:
  `Serializable`, `LocalizedException`

public class IllegalNameException extends NoSuchDataException
Thrown when an invalid name is used for identifying a coverage, a feature or other kind of element in a data store. A name may be invalid because no coverage or feature exists in the `DataStore` for that name, or because the name is ambiguous (in which case the exception message should explain why), or because the name of a new feature type to add in the `DataStore` conflicts with the name of an existing feature type.
