Use this page to configure a new indirect lookup name binding, or to view or edit an existing indirect lookup binding.
To view this console page, click Environment > Naming > Name Space Bindings > indirect_lookup_namespace_binding. The settings on this page are similar to those on the Specify basic properties panel of the New Name Space Binding wizard.
Shows the scope of the configured binding. This value indicates the configuration location for the namebindings.xml file.
The Scope setting is shown only when you edit an existing binding on the console page, and is not shown when you create a new binding on the wizard panel. This setting is for information purposes and cannot be updated.
If the configured binding is cell-scoped, the starting context is the cell persistent root context. If the configured binding is node-scoped, the starting context is the node persistent root context. If the configured binding is server-scoped, the starting context is the server's server root context.
On multiple-server installations, the configured binding can also be cluster-scoped. For cluster-scoped bindings, the starting context is the server's server root context.
Shows the type of binding configured. Possible choices are String, EJB, CORBA, and Indirect. This setting is for information purposes only and cannot be updated.
Specifies the name that uniquely identifies this configured binding.
Specifies the name used for this binding in the name space. This name can be a simple or compound name depending on the portion of the name space where this binding is configured.
Provider URL string needed to obtain a JNDI initial context.
Specifies the name used to look up the target object from the initial context.
Specifies the class name of the initial context factory used to obtain a JNDI initial context.
This field is optional. If no factory is specified, the WebSphere Application Server initial context factory is used.
If the scope of the indirect lookup binding includes servers or nodes previous to version 6.1, the initial context factory name and other context factory properties are not shown on the console page.
