About this title

Synopsis

This book provides an introduction to naming and directory technologies and an overview of the Java Naming and Directory Interface(tm) (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 Java(tm) 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 JDBC(tm) 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 Solaris(tm) 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.
