JNDI Service provider for the file system

Question

I was looking for the Java Naming and Directory Interface (JNDI) service provider for the file system. As far as I know, Oracle ships bundled with the JDK only service provider

Answer 1

You can possibly dowload it from Maven Central

<dependency>
    <groupId>com.sun.jndi</groupId>
    <artifactId>fscontext</artifactId>
    <version>1.2-beta-3</version>
</dependency>

Searching for alternative leads to SwiftMQ implementation

Answer 2

I was able to download this library from oracle's archive downloads. This page contains long list of downloads. Try [Ctrl+F] for "File System Service Provider, 1.2 Beta 3". The jar file is 14 years old :) It was released on Mar 29, 2000.

Answer 3

Not found in maven central and mvnrepository.com and jfrog. Currently (2015) found at oracle archive to download manually and for maven a similar dependency here is the pom.xml:

<dependency>
   <groupId>com.sun.messaging.mq</groupId>
   <artifactId>fscontext</artifactId>
   <version>4.6-b01</version>
</dependency>
