JNDI (Naming) On WebSphere Application Server

Naming is used by clients of WebSphere® Application Server applications to obtain references to objects related to those applications, such as enterprise bean (EJB) homes.

These objects are bound into a mostly hierarchical structure, referred to as a namespace.You can access and manipulate the namespace through a name server. Users of a name server are referred to as naming clients. Naming clients typically use the Java™ Naming and Directory Interface (JNDI) to perform naming operations. Naming clients can also use the Common Object Request Broker Architecture (CORBA) CosNaming interface.

Typically, objects bound to the namespace are resources and objects associated with installed applications. These objects are bound by the system, and client applications perform lookup operations to obtain references to them. Occasionally, server and client applications bind objects to the namespace. An application can bind objects to transient or persistent partitions, depending on requirements.

Troubleshooting Naming related issues could involve several pieces of information that is required to be provided. The Mustgather documentation on Naming is essential in obtaining all the required information to determing the next steps:
