The functionality with which the user assigns an optional name and registers the Enterprise Beans or J2EE resources in JNDI name space is called the user-specified name space functionality. This functionality enables you to lookup the Enterprise Beans or J2EE resources using any specified name.

Note that you must customize the settings for operating the server management commands to assign an optional name. For details on how to specify the settings, see 2.6.7 Execution environment settings.

Note

In the Java EE specifications, we recommend that you perform lookup with the name using java:comp/env.
