What is JNDI?

Java Naming and Directory Interface (JNDI) components act as an interface to your processes. One interface can communicate with directory services to retrieve, delete, and add objects.

Using JNDI Components

After adding the JNDI component to the catalog, you can use it in the Business Process Methods in Studio.

To call the component in a process design:
  • Open Studio.
  • Open an existing process or create a new process.
  • Add an activity to the process.
  • Open the BP-method Editor by double-clicking on the activity.
    Note: If the BP-method Editor does not open when you double-click an activity, you can change your preferences. Choose File and then Preferences from the menu options. Click the Activity tab. In the On double click show: field select sources from the drop-down menu. Click the Ok button. Next time you double-click an activity, the Editor appears.
  • Click the Component Browser folder at the bottom of the BP-method Editor window. Your new module should appear on the list.
  • Drill down from your new module to see your JNDI component. Drill down from your component to see all the methods you chose to include.
  • Complete your Method with the JNDI component usage, methods, variables, as needed.
  • Save and check your method.
