  1. JNDI, beasically, is a lookup service. You give it a name, and it returns you an object that has been stored under that name. Its main use is inside application servers, where resources configured in the server (like a transaction manager, a DataSource, software components etc.) are made available to the deployed applications in JNDI.

  2. Almost none, except JDBC DataSources are often retrieved from JNDI.
