NonStop Server for Java Programmer's Reference (NSJ 4.0+)

Java Naming and Directory Interface
(JNDI) Highlights
The Java Naming and Directory Interface (JNDI) provides naming and directory functionality
to Java programs. It is independent of any specific directory service implementation; therefore,
it allows a variety of directories to be accessed in a common way.
The JNDI architecture consists of an Application Programming Interface (API) and a Service
Provider Interface (SPI). Java programs use the JNDI API to access a variety of naming and
directory services. The JNDI SPI enables a variety of naming and directory services to be
plugged in transparently, allowing Java programs that use the JNDI API to access their services.
NonStop Server for Java supports JNDI, which is a standard interface in Java implementations.
For more information about the JNDI, see the Sun Microsystems Java Naming and Directory
Interface 1.1.1 Specification
(http://java.sun.com/products/jndi/javadoc/overview-summary.html).
IPv6 Support
With the J2SDK-JRE 1.4 release, Sun Microsystems has included Internet Protocol version
(IPv6) support in Java Networking. This support makes J2SE compliant with the following
standards (RFCs):
RFC2373: IPv6 Addressing Architecture●
RFC 2553: BasicSocket Interface Extensions for IPv6●
RFC 2732: Format for Literal IPv6 Addresses in URLs●
Since the J2SDK does not support raw sockets, RFC 2292 (Advanced Sockets API for IPv6) is
not supported in this release.
Note: IPv6 support is supplied only if you use the NonStop TCP/IPv6 subsystem
with NonStop Server for Java.
