What is the difference between JNDI lookup(), list(),...

The differences among JNDI lookup(), list(), listBindings(), and search() are as follows.

JNDI lookup()	JNDI list()	JNDI listBindings()	JNDI search()
lookup() is used to find the specified object in the given context. i.e., it looks for a single, specific object and either find it in the current context or it fails.	list() is used for enumeration of the NameClassPair of all of the objects in the current context. It's a listing of all of the objects in the current context but only returns the object's name and the name of the class whose object is it. td>	listBindings() is a listing of all of the objects in the current context with an object's name, a reference to the object itself, and its class name. It's used to return an enumeration of the Bindings of all of the objects in the current context.	search() used to return an enumeration of all of the objects matching a given set of search criteria. It can search across multiple contexts. It can return the attributes of the objects that you desire. etc. It's the most complex and powerful but is also the most expensive.
