ABOUT JNDIce, the EJB Assistant: 

The purpose of this software is to provide 
a visual picture of all objects, especially 
EJBs, bound to JNDI contexts.  The 
application makes it easy to toggle between 
multiple JNDI context factories. You can 
choose to either list all objects bound 
to a context, or individual objects. The 
interface is straight-forward, intuitive, 
and easy to understand. Whenever possible, 
complete *in-depth* information about the 
class or interface that comprises the 
JNDI object will be provided in the 
object list.  The software is particularly 
geared toward finding attribute and method 
information about bound and deployed 
Enterprise JavaBeans; however, it should 
be rather useful for all JNDI objects.

All objects are displayed in a JTree, and 
can be unbound from the JNDI namespace at any time, 
making them unavailable to clients until you 
choose to manually restart them.

FILES INCLUDED IN THIS DISTRIBUTION:

JNDIce.jar - The application.

RUNNING THIS APPLICATION: 

RUNNING THE STAND-ALONE VERSION OF JNDIce:

If you are using JDK 1.2 or JDK 1.3, you should 
be able to run the application by simply 
executing (double-clicking on Windows) the 
JNDIce.jar file. Alternately, you can also 
run the application by issuing one of 
the following command lines: 

javaw.exe -classpath C:\JNDIce\JNDICE.jar cylikon.JNDICE.Ice
                                    or
java.exe -classpath C:\JNDIce\JNDICE.jar cylikon.JNDICE.Ice

Remember to adjust the C:\JNDIce to reflect 
the directory where you have stored the JNDIce.jar 
file.  Use the first command line example 
if you want to run the application without a 
console window and make the java app run more 
like a regular application (suggested). 



LAUNCHING JNDIce FROM CJs JAVA EXPLORER:

If you obtained JNDIce through my bundled 
software package known as the Java Explorer, 
you can launch the application by simply 
starting the Java Explorer, then clicking 
the "Utilities" tab near the top of the 
screen, then clicking on the JNDIce icon.
**********************************************
KNOWN BUGS AND LIMITATIONS:

The program attempts the two most common 
methods for performing a "list all" for 
a JNDI context.  While most context 
factories I have worked with responded 
normally to these methods, a couple simply 
did not return a complete list of bound objects.
If you experience this problem when you 
attempt to perform a "list all objects" on 
a JNDI context, simply try to search for 
individual objects.

Having tried this software with many 
different JNDI context factories, I can 
say that, in a few rare instances, the 
software failed to list objects which 
were *not* EJBs. As I have time, I 
may try to correct this problem.
*********************************************
NO TECHNICAL SUPPORT is offered for this 
software and no future releases are planned 
for the near future.  DO NOT EMAIL FOR HELP!
However, bug reports are welcome.
