End-to-end paths for Naming and directory
Naming includes both server-side and client-side components. The server-side component is a CosNaming service. The client-side component is a JNDI service provider.
The WebSphere JNDI service provider can be used to interoperate with any CosNaming name server implementation. Yet WebSphere name servers implement an extension to CosNaming, and the JNDI service provider uses those WebSphere extensions to provide greater capability than CosNaming alone. Some added capabilities are binding and looking up of non-CORBA objects.
Java EE applications use the JNDI service provider supported by WAS to obtain references to objects related to server applications, such as EJB homes, which have been bound into a CosNaming name space.
Naming is used by clients of WAS applications most commonly to obtain references to objects related to those applications, such as EJB homes.
