Native Oracle JVM support for JNDI enables you to bind Oracle data source objects, which contain specific database connection information, by a name in a directory structure. You can use this name to retrieve the particular connection information to establish a connection within an application. You can also change the database connection properties and the actual source database without changing the application by changing only the associated object to which a specific name is resolved. This feature also provides a general purpose directory service for storing objects and object references.
The Oracle Java Directory Service (OJDS) package, oracle.aurora.jndi.ojds provides the APIs for implementing JNDI support. For more information about the APIs present in the oracle.aurora.jndi.ojds package, refer to "OJDS APIs and Classes".
