I 'm here to clarify something. Is that JNDI only provide a higher interface as it is independent or any naming and directory sevices. That means we cannot use it to map network resources without the network been map already. I mean if we use JNDI to map to a network resources ,i.e another machine ; we have to set up the NFS and mount it first in order the JNDI to get the machine's resources. In conclusion , The JNDI only provide a uniform / generic way of access the naming and directory services. Is there any other opinion ? _________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
