Naming

Set of libraries to interact with Naming servers.

Developed at Instituto Superior Técnico, Universidade de Lisboa, Portugal

The UDDI-Naming library provides a JAX-R wrapper that emulates JNDI Naming interface with bind and lookup operations.

The ZK-Naming library provides a ZooKeeper client wrapper that also emulates bind and lookup.

Getting Started

Naming servers are used to register names and their values. Usually they translate an human-friendly identifier to a system-internal, often numeric identification or addressing component.

A naming library is intended to simplify the use of naming servers in application code.

The two typical operations are:

• bind(name, value) - associate the name with the given value
• value lookup(name) - search for the name and return its value

Prerequisites

Java Developer Kit 8 is required running on Linux, Windows or Mac. Maven 3 is also required.

To confirm that you have them installed, open a terminal and type:

javac -version

mvn -version

For UDDI-Naming, a jUDDI server is required.
You can find a version of jUDDI configured to use port 9090 at the Distributed Systems course page (in Portuguese).

For ZK-Naming, ZooKeeper server is required.

Installing

To compile and install all modules:

mvn clean install -DskipTests

The tests are skipped because they require the server to be running.
