The Apache Directory Project's

...
are
...
Java

implementations
...
of
...
standard

services.
...
These
...
Protocol

Providers,
...
in
...
conjunction
...
with
...
the
...
MINA
...
network
...
layer
...
and

...
read-optimized

backing

store,
...
provide
...
easy-to-use
...
yet
...
fully-featured
...
Internet
...
services.
...
As
...
implemented
...
within
...
the
...
Apache
...
Directory,
...
these
...
services
...
benefit

Configuration
...
All
...
protocol
...
providers
...
are
...
configured
...
in
...
a

similar

manner.
...
Behind
...
the

scenes,
...
all
...
protocol

provider

Configuration
...
beans
...
inherit
...
from
...
the
...
same
...
ServiceConfiguration
...
and,
...
therefore,
...
they
...
share
...
many
...
of
...
the
...
same
...
configuration
...
parameters.
