JNDI support in WebSphere Application Server

 

IBM WAS includes a name server to provide shared access to Java components, and an implementation of the javax.naming JNDI package which supports user access to the WAS name server through the JNDI naming interface.

WAS does not provide implementations for:

• javax.naming.directory
• javax.naming.ldap

Also, WAS does not support interfaces defined in the javax.naming.event package.

However, to provide access to LDAP servers, the development kit shipped with WAS supports Sun's implementation of:

• javax.naming.ldap
• com.sun.jndi.ldap.LdapCtxFactory

WAS's JNDI implementation is based on version 1.2 of the JNDI interface, and was tested with Version 1.2.1 of Sun's JNDI Service Provider Interface (SPI).

The default behavior of this JNDI implementation is adequate for most users. However, users with specific requirements can control certain aspects of JNDI behavior.
