This book provides an introduction to naming and directory technologies and an overview of the Java Naming and Directory InterfaceÖ (JNDI). The tutorial in this book progresses from the most basic to advanced JNDI capabilities and techniques, including more than 200 working examples that demonstrate writing, compiling, and running directory-enabled JavaÖ programs. In addition, this book contains a comprehensive reference section that documents all JNDI classes and interfaces. The accompanying CD-ROM includes JNDI software and service providers, the Java 2 platform, and the hypertext version of the Java Tutorials, the JDBCÖ tutorials, and the JNDI tutorial.

  JNDI enables programs written in the Java programming language to access naming and directory services--a vital element of the complex distributed computing environment for today's enterprise systems. A platform-independent interface, JNDI allows Java applications to work with standard and proprietary services from a variety of vendors--including the Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP), Novell Directory Service (NDS), Microsoft Active Directory, and the SolarisÖ Operating Environment Network Information Service (NIS)--so that enterprises need not lock into a single-vendor solution.

  Specific topics covered include:

  Accessing the LDAP via JNDI

Using the directory as an object repository

Configuring a JNDI client

Handling event notifications from the directory

Creating a federation of naming systems

Building a JNDI service provider

All developers using the Java programming language to write applications or subsystems that access naming and directory services will find this book an indispensable resource
