Convert Type "String" to type "Name"

Question

Here is the Problem:

    import lotus.domino.Document;
    import lotus.domino.Name;
    import lotus.domino.NotesException;
    import lotus.domino.Session;
    import de.bcode.utils.Utils;


    public class Example {

    int x;

    Name n = (Name)x.toString(); // i want to do this.


    }

I am trying to convert above and i also did it by "typecasting" and it has been failing.

Thank you for reading all the question :-)

The API documentation of IBM Notes explains that a Name object can only be obtained from the Session. "To create a new Name object, use createName in Session. " see this page

   Session s = NotesFactory.createSession();
   Name n = s.getUserNameObject();
