Abstract

One or more objects 1602 of a name server 1606 are managed as transactional objects, thereby providing a transactional name server. Atomic updates are provided in the name server by the addition of transactional semantics. The transactional semantics include making the objects of the name space managed objects and providing a local interface to a directory service that propagates a transactional context from the name server through a directory down to a resource manager. Binding and naming context classes support the same attributes, hence act as dual personalities for the same underlying directory data, allowing efficient one-hop lookup of objects that reside in a particular name server.
