JNDI is the Java Naming and Directory Interface. It's used
to separate the concerns of the application developer and
the application deployer. When you're writing an application
which relies on a database, you shouldn't need to worry
about the user name or password for connecting to that
database. JNDI allows the developer to give a name to a
database, and rely on the deployer to map that name to an
actual instance of the database.
For example, if you're writing code that runs in a Java EE
container, you can write this to get hold of the data source
with JNDI name "Database":
DataSource dataSource = null;
try
{
Context context = new InitialContext();
dataSource = context.lookup("Database");
}
catch (NamingException e)
{
// Couldn't find the data source: give up
}
Note there's nothing here about the database driver, or the
user name, or the password. That is configured inside the
container.
JNDI is not restricted to databases (JDBC); all sorts of
services can be given names. For more details, you should
check out the Sun tutorial on the subject.
