Java Naming and Directory Interface (JNDI) is a Java API (application programming interface) providing naming and directory functionality for Java software clients to discover and look up data and objects via a name. WSO2 Data Services Server supports JNDI InitialContext implementation by inheriting the JNDI implementation of Tomcat (http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-7.0-doc/jndi-resources-howto.html). JNDI helps decouple object creation from the object look-up. When you have registered a data source with JNDI, others can discover it through a JNDI lookup and use it.
JNDI datasources allow you to create a data service using a JNDI resource as the data storage type.
