LDAP is really quite simple to set up, especially with OpenLDAP.

I wasn't an LDAP expert, yet I managed to install OpenLDAP and start storing and retrieving DataSource objects within a couple of hours :-)

It also has the advantage of being robust and network-oriented: one LDAP server can provide DataSource objects to client programs anywhere on the network.

However, if you want to experiment with JNDI to see whether it meets your needs without having to set up an LDAP server, you can use the filesystem storage engine instead. This stores the DataSource objects in text files instead of in an LDAP server. The client programs will need almost no modification if you later decide to move to LDAP.

Hope this helps.
