WebLogic s Support for JNDI

WebLogic's Support for JNDI

WebLogic Server 7.0 provides its own implementation of naming and directory services based on the JNDI Service Provider Interface (SPI) specification. This makes the naming and directory services implemented by WebLogic Server compatible with the JNDI specification, and thus any client application can access WebLogic naming and directory services using the JNDI API. The WebLogic Server 7.0 API supports the JNDI API version 1.2.1.

On the one hand, WebLogic Server's implementation of the naming and directory services enables resources such as database connections, message queue connections, Enterprise JavaBeans, RMI servers, and so on to register and advertise themselves. On the other hand, WebLogic Server's naming and directory services enable client applications to access and use these resources.

WebLogic Server enhances the support for JNDI by providing additional classes that extend the functionality of the JNDI.
