Specifying Environment Properties

Specifying Environment Properties

You can specify environment properties to the JNDI by using the environment parameter to the InitialContext constructor and application resource files. Several JNDI standard environment properties could be specified also by using system properties and applet parameters, as described later in this section.

Application Resource Files

To simplify the task of setting up the environment required by a JNDI application, you may distribute application resource files along with application components and service providers. An application resource file has the name jndi.properties. It contains a list of key/value pairs presented in the properties file format (see java.util.Properties). The key is the name of the property (for example, java.naming.factory.object) and the value is a string in the format defined for that property.

Here is an example of an application resource file.

java.naming.factory.object=com.sun.jndi.ldap.AttrsToCorba:com.wiz.from.Person  java.naming.factory.state=com.sun.jndi.ldap.CorbaToAttrs:com.wiz.from.Person  java.naming.factory.control=com.sun.jndi.ldap.ResponseControlFactory  java.naming.factory.initial=com.sun.jndi.ldap.LdapCtxFactory  java.naming.provider.url=ldap://localhost:389/o=jnditutorial  com.sun.jndi.ldap.netscape.schemaBugs=true
