Description: The Java Naming and Directory Interface (JNDI) is an API that provides naming and directory functionality to applications written in Java. It allows developers to access and manipulate network resources such as databases, application servers, and other services using a unified programming model. JNDI simplifies the search for objects and the retrieval of information through a naming system, making resource management in distributed environments easier. This interface is particularly useful in enterprise applications, where the integration of multiple services is common. JNDI supports various types of directory services, including LDAP (Lightweight Directory Access Protocol), DNS (Domain Name System), and RMI (Remote Method Invocation), making it a versatile tool for identity and access management. Additionally, its modular design allows developers to extend its functionality and tailor it to specific needs, making it essential in modern enterprise application development.
