javax.naming.event package.
 
javax.naming.ldap package.
 
NamingEnumeration.close() for cancelling or terminating enumerations.
 
ReferralException.getReferralContext(Hashtable env) and ReferralException.retryReferral() to allow creation and retry of referral context with different environment properties.
 
Name argument should deal with CompositeName and nonCompositeName arguments. Specifically, instances of CompositeName are treated as composite name, while al
l others are treated as compound name.
 
Context.getNameInNamespace() for retrieving the full name of a context within its own namespace.
 
Reference object. Specifically, the location is a codebase, which consists of a list space-separated URLs.
 
Attribute and BasicAttribute.
 
BasicAttributes.equals() and BasicAttributes.hashCode().
 
DirContext.getSchemaClassDefinition() so that it returns a context that contains the DirContext objects of class definitions, rather than returning one (arbitrary) class definition.
 
InitialContext/InitialDirContext constructors to allow lazy initialization. Useful for subclass implementations.
StateFactory/NamingManager.getStateToBind(), analogous to ObjectFactory/NamingManager.getObjectInstance(), for transforming an object's state before the object is bound in the naming/directory 
service.
 
DirObjectFactory and DirStateFactory to better support service providers that implement the DirContext interface. Added 
DirectoryManager.getObjectInstance() and 
DirectoryManager.getStateToStore() to use these interfaces.
 
NamingManager.getObjectInstance() to not treat URL strings specially. Instead, the URL should be wrapped inside a Reference whose RefAddr type is "URL".
 
ResolveResult implement Serializable.
 
Reference called a next naming system (nns) reference for supporting "dynamic federation". This reference has a RefAddr type of "nns" and a content consisting of the resolved object.
 
NamingManager.CPE which names a property set by NamingManager.getContinuationContext()/DirectoryManager.getContinuationContext(). The value of this property is an instance of 
CannotProceedException. 
This is useful to service providers that implement federation by chaining the CPEs.
