JNDI Settings JMS uses Java Naming and Directory Interface (JNDI) for configuration. When you configure JMS connectors, you specify how to connect to your JNDI directory and which named objects to use. The rest of the configuration is done in your JNDI directory. There are two connector settings that are used to specify how to connect to your JNDI provider: • java.naming.factory.initial – Specifies the JNDI provider class to use. • java.naming.provider.url – Specifies where to find the JNDI directory. If your JNDI provider needs other initial context parameters you can specify these parameters as additional java system properties when starting java.
