Hi Can you recommend a high quality open source naming/directory server with jndi naming or preferably directory support, and preferably using ldap service provider? I understand that there is openLdap, but it is only for *nix. Win2K's active directory is one option, but need to install the server domain controller (anybody used it for general purpose naming/directory service and federated it with jboss?). What we need is an extremely lightweight (embedded style, a few hundreds entries) naming server (and preferably directory later). Because there are high quality embedded relational databases, so, if there is open source ldap (or other reasonably good naming/directory protocol) "wrapper" on top of relational database, it should be also fine. And this question again: does jnp support general purpose naming service? i.e., can a client (or ejbean) program (not in descriptors, but in a java running program, i.e., runtime dynamically) bind some info into jnp, and later lookup, even after restart jboss? Also, "open source" is preferred, but other low-end(low cost) solutions are also fine. thanks in advance!!!
