Java Naming and Directory Interface^TM (JNDI)

Java Naming and Directory Interface^TM (JNDI) has the following enhancements in J2SE 1.4.0:

• An Internet Domain Naming System (DNS) service provider is part of J2SE 1.4.0. This component enables applications to read data that is stored in the DNS.

• The JNDI Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) service provider has security enhancements that enable applications to establish secure sessions over existing LDAP connections and to use different authentication protocols.

• The JNDI CORBA Object Services (COS) naming service provider supports the Interoperable Naming Service (INS) specification (99-12-03).
