# Understanding EJB JNDI Services

The Java Naming and Directory Interface (JNDI) provides your J2EE application with a unified interface to multiple naming and directory services. You use JNDI to organize and locate components in a distributed J2EE environment.

You can define enviornment references for J2EE components and associated JNDI properties.

You can use JNDI to look up and retrieve these components using the:

- JNDI initial context

- EJB context

- @Resource injection (EJB 3.0 only)

For more information, see "Configuring JNDI Services".
