As I said, if you want to use the "RefFSContextFactory" class in the sample file system JNDI provider, you have to have it. It's in the "fscontext.jar" file you can get from <http://java.sun.com/products/jndi/serviceproviders.html>. It's NOT in the JDK. Just in case you're misunderstanding something, this class you're looking for implements a sample JNDI provider for querying files on the local file system. It's not something you would normally use in an application (unless you really needed that capability). -- =================================================================== David M.
