JNDI has a API for client side and the service layer (SPI) for a provider. Since EE is a superset of SE, does that mean ALL certified EE Application Servers must meet the JNDI SPI provider specifications? Is it safe to assume that since Sun's EE functionality from the above webpage doesn't list anything about JNDI specifications but is it listed in SE? I hope my logic is not wrong, I am still somewhat new to the server side implementations of Java EE.</p><p style="min-height: 8pt; height: 8pt; padding: 0px;"> </p><p>Thanks very much!</p></div>
