## External JNDI Resources

An external JNDI resource defines custom JNDI contexts and implements the `javax.naming.spi.InitialContextFactory` interface. There is no specific JNDI parent context for external JNDI resources, except for the standard `java:comp/env/`.

Create an external JNDI resource in one of these ways:

- To create an external JNDI resource using the Administration Console, open the Resources component, open the JNDI component, and select External Resources. For details, see the Sun Java System Application Server Enterprise Edition 8.1 2005Q2 Administration Guide.

- To create an external JNDI resource, use the `asadmin create-jndi-resource` command. For details, see the Sun Java System Application Server Enterprise Edition 8.1 2005Q2 Reference Manual.
