The Java Naming and Directory Interface (JNDI) is an application
programming interface (API) for accessing different kinds of naming and
directory services. JNDI is not specific to a particular naming or
directory service, it can be used to access many different kinds of
systems including file systems; distributed objects systems like CORBA,
Java RMI, and EJB; and directory services like LDAP, Novell NetWare, and
NIS+.
JNDI is similar to JDBC in that they are both Object-Oriented Java
APIs that provide a common abstraction for accessing services from
different vendors. While JDBC can be used to access a variety of
relational databases, JNDI can be used to access a variety of of naming
and directory services.
