who said anything about a web server? servlets are not just about http- http is
just the first major implementation of the concept of servlets.
unless my understanding on the subject is incomplete, i don't think jndi spi
quite does what i need... the jndi spi is targeted to making existing
directories available within java via jndi. on the other hand, i want to create
an ldap server- or rather, provide access to portions of our oracle server via
ldap. just as javax.servlet.http gives me the tools i need to serve the data
via the http protocal without having to think about the protocal itself, i'm
trying to find out whether there is work that has been done to do the same via
ldap.
