is a standard extension to the Java platform, providing Java technology-enabled applications with a unified interface to multiple naming and directory services in the enterprise.
Java Naming and Directory Interface (JNDI) is an API specified in Java that provides naming and directory functionality to applications written in Java. It is designed especially for Java by using Java's object model. Using JNDI, Java applications can store and retrieve named Java objects of any type. In addition, JNDI provides methods for performing standard directory operations, such as associating attributes with objects and searching for objects using their attributes.
JNDI is also defined independent of any specific naming or directory service implementation. It enables Java applications to access different, possibly multiple, naming and directory services using a common API. Different naming and directory service providers can be plugged in seamlessly behind this common API. This allows Java applications to take advantage of information in a variety of existing naming and directory services, such as LDAP, NDS, DNS, and NIS(YP), and allows Java applications to coexist with legacy applications and systems. Using JNDI as a tool, the Java application developer can build new powerful and portable applications that not only take advantage of Java's object model but are also well-integrated with the environment in which they are deployed.
JNDI includes support for event notification and LDAP v3 extensions and controls.
