JNDI SERVICE PROVIDERS

The JNDI Service Provider Interface (SPI) provides the means by which naming and directory services are integrated into the JNDI framework. Applications using the JNDI API may -- without modification -- access all of these services. In addition, because names in JNDI may span multiple namespaces, the SPI enables service provider implementations to cooperate in completing clients' JNDI operations.

This is a preliminary list of service providers that are publicly available.

JNDI 1.2 service providers

JNDI 1.1 service providers

A Note on Compatibility:
In general, you should only use JNDI 1.2 service providers with JNDI 1.2 class libraries, and only use JNDI 1.1 service providers with JNDI 1.1 class libraries. See JNDI 1.2 Compatibility for details.
