Think Java and set your applications free
Novell is partnering with Sun Microsystems and other industry leaders to provide a 100% Pure Java Naming and Directory Interface (JNDI). In addition to being completely platform-independent, JNDI provides a single development paradigm that crosses multiple directories (NDS, LDAP, DNS, file systems, etc.), and is name-space independent. By integrating Java and NDS through JNDI, Novell is helping you build applications that are easier to manage, distribute, secure, and deploy across heterogeneous global networks.
