Starting the JNDI Browser
The JNDI Browser is represented by the JNDI node that appears in the Explorer
Window's Runtime tab. Expanding this node shows the JNDI service providers
that have been installed.
Adding a Service Provider
-
The package that contains the service provider (typically a .jar or .zip
file) must be in the IDE's /bin/ext directory.
-
Right-click on the Providers node. From the context menu, choose New Provider.
This opens the New Provider dialog.
-
Complete the fields with values that identify the new provider and click
OK. The new provider will be represented as a subnode of the Providers
node.
Connecting to a Naming or Directory Service
-
Right click on the appropriate service provider. From the context menu,
choose "Connect Using." This opens the New JNDI Context dialog.
-
Supply a Context Label. This text will label the JNDI subnode that represents
the service.
-
Fill in the additional fields that are required by the naming or directory
service.
-
Click "OK."
-
A subnode that represents the naming or directory service that you specified
will be added underneath the JNDI node.
You can use the RefFSContextFactory (file system service provider) to see
how the JNDI browser works. Right-click on the RefFSContextFactory node
and choose Connect Using from the context menu. Type in "myCdrive" for
the Context Label, and "file://c:/" (or some equivalent) for the JNDI Initial
Context.
