         * This class represents a Reference whose contents is a name, called the link name,
         * that is bound to an atomic name in a context.
         * <p>
         * The name is a URL, or a name to be resolved relative to the initial
         * context, or if the first character of the name is ".", the name
         * is relative to the context in which the link is bound.
         * <p>
         * Normal resolution of names in context operations always follow links.
         * Resolution of the link name itself may cause resolution to pass through
         * other  links. This gives rise to the possibility of a cycle of links whose
         * resolution could not terminate normally. As a simple means to avoid such
         * non-terminating resolutions, service providers may define limits on the
         * number of links that may be involved in any single operation invoked
         * by the caller.
         * <p>
         * A LinkRef contains a single StringRefAddr, whose type is "LinkAddress",
         * and whose contents is the link name. The class name field of the
         * Reference is that of this (LinkRef) class.
         * <p>
         * LinkRef is bound to a name using the normal Context.bind()/rebind(), and
         * DirContext.bind()/rebind(). Context.lookupLink() is used to retrieve the link
         * itself if the terminal atomic name is bound to a link.
         * <p>
         * Many naming systems support a native notion of link that may be used
         * within the naming system itself. JNDI does not specify whether
         * there is any relationship between such native links and JNDI links.
         * <p>
         * A LinkRef instance is not synchronized against concurrent access by multiple
         * threads. Threads that need to access a LinkRef instance concurrently should
         * synchronize amongst themselves and provide the necessary locking.
