Summary:
Directory services are the key applications which provide a means to locate and organize users and resources on a network. Directories are repositories (like a phone book) containing information on users such as email addresses, phone numbers, security passwords and access rights to things like printers and servers. Using Sun's Java Naming and Directory Interface (JNDI), Java developers and network professionals can build powerful and portable applications throughout the enterprise. Now, JNDI's architect and one of its lead developers team up to present the first comprehensive JNDI tutorial and reference: everything developers need to build world-class directory-enabled applications with Java. Starting from the basic foundations, the book introduces key JNDI concepts and techniques needed to write, compile, and run JNDI applications. The tutorial then moves to more sophisticated topics, walking developers through building their own service providers, accounting for security, and creating schema and attributes. There are detailed comparisons between JNDI and LDAP, as well as practical techniques for integrating with DNS, NDS, NIS+, and other directory services. The book also contains a comprehensive JNDI reference covering every element of the API.

only book so far with the JNDI lesson GO FOR IT if you need a book on JNDI

This book is basically the same thing as on the sun website. It came without a cd although the authors mentioned a cd in the book for source code lookup.I have the impression the book was out of print because of the already mentioned cd issue and the fact that amazon had to wait for long time to get this book from the publishing warehouse(This is the reason amazon gave me for delaying the shipping)
This book is half tutorial(0-396) half API(397-756) with some bonuses like LDAP schemas.

I heard the material was the same, but was hoping for a more thoughtful layout and more of a teaching perspective. No such luck.

Definitely not for a novice

Having about a year or so experience with Java, I bought this book intending to use JNDI on a project. I was hoping for a clear, simple tutorial; instead I had to wrestle with setting up my environment for at least two hours before I could even run one sample program. The authors do NOT clearly state which .JAR files have to go in jre/lib/ext, they do not explain that the path in the samples needs to be changed from /tmp/tutorial to whatever directory you are working in, and some of their examples are wrong (page 27 - the Lookup program does NOT take a command-line argument). I haven't started the Directory Operations chapter yet (since it requires an LDAP server and I haven't installed one yet), but if it took this long just to get through the basics, I have a feeling I'm going to be spending a lot of time reading Sun's forums looking for answers...

So far the best

After reading documentation of JNDI and Wrox's Java Server Programming book, I realized that I need a more detailed hands-on book. I downloaded Netscape Directory Server for NT and read its document. Unfortunately (or fortunately), I can make my java program work on JNDI, LDAP until I read THIS book. I am happy to find it on sun's website. Make comparison by yourself. It is really an excellent book on JNDI.

Good book, but...

I have gone through this book, and find that it lacks systematic detailed information on the Preparations section, before being able to attempt the examples in the book. In my opinion this is a very serious drawback, and can throw off readers new to JNDI. So, in essence this book can be further improved upon by the authors with due consideration to the initial preparedness and loading of seed data sections, to enable the readers who attempt the examples, a more fruitful and enjoyable experience.
