JNDI provider for Windows Registry

JNDI2R is a JNDI service provider to Windows registry. It provides JNDI API and supports serialized Java classes in registry. JNDI2R works on Windows XP/2000/NT/Me/9x and JDK1.3/JDK1.4.

JNDI2r works using JNI - through Windows DLL library written in C++ it accesses Windows registry:

The sample JNDIregedit shows basic usage of jndi2reg library. Just unpack JNDIregedit archive, and start run.bat. This .BAT file adds path to WinRegistry.dll and starts RegEdit.jar - a class implementing the demo app that is working with registry through JNDI provider jndi2r.jar.

The following sample code demonstrates it's basic usage:

    public static void main(String args[]) {
        try {
            Hashtable env = new Hashtable();

            env.put("java.naming.factory.initial",
		"com.scand.jndi.registry.RegistryInitialContextFactory");
            Context c = new InitialContext(env);

            // registry entry name, i.e. "HKCU\Software\MyProduct\Version"
            String entryName = args[0];
            // entry value, i.e. "1.0"
            String entryValue = args[1];

            // bind will create registry entry with specified value
            c.bind(entryName, entryValue);

        } catch (NamingException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
    }
