JNDI Browser allows user to add new directory contexts, browse them, and
generate code usable in developed actions. Using the JNDI support module,
you can mount JNDI hierarchies from any JNDI 1.2 compliant provider in the
NetBeans Explorer and browse it.
User is able to generate lookup code to Clipboard from each Object in the
directory context hierarchy or binding code from Context objects by selecting
the desired node and choosing the copy action from pop up menu.
JNDI Browser contains one special folder, that contains provider templates.
Provider template node represents installed provider. The values of properties
specified in the provider template are used as default values when the corresponding
provider is used for connecting to directory service. User can create new
provider template, delete template, modify template, test or use it.
When user creates new provider template for newly installed provider
the dialog for specifying provider properties appears, in this dialog user
fills the standard JNDI properties as well as additional proprietal properties
required by provider.
By selecting provider and choosing Customize
from pop up menu the same dialog as in create appears and is filled by
current values, user can modify these values. The values can be also modified
directly in property sheet of corresponding provider.
For directory
services that allows properties on bound objects, such as LDAP, browser
supports special additional property sheet, where user can, if access to
this object is read/write, modify values of these properties. User is also
able to add, remove or modify these properties by selecting node and choosing
customize from pop up menu.
