Note: This tutorial trail is based on the standalone JNDI tutorial located at http://download.oracle.com/javase/jndi/tutorial/. The standalone JNDI tutorial, last updated under Java 2 SDK, Standard Edition, v 1.4.2, provides comprehensive coverage on JNDI, but is no longer supported. This tutorial excerpts the basics from the standlone tutorial and includes features added to JNDI in the Java Platform Standard Edition 5.0 and 6 releases.
The older JNDI tutorial is preserved as an archive on download.oracle.com.
