How do you know how to form a JNDI string? I know there must be a format and that the divisions must mean something but I haven't been able to find a good resource that explains them. For example: java:comp/env/wm/default. This is supposed to connect to a WorkManager in Websphere with the name of default. But what does the "java", "comp", "env" mean? I know what the wm/default mean because that's the JNDI name put in the WorkManager, but what does the rest mean?
Thanks

Log4j, an open-source logging library developed by the Apache Software Foundation, is the logging framework that Java-based applications use. Log4j uses a lookup feature called Java Naming and Directory Interface (JNDI) that consists of an API (Application Programming Interface) and SPI (Service Provider Interface).
The Java Naming and Directory Interface™ (JNDI) is an application programming interface (API) that provides naming and directory functionality to applications written using the Java™ programming language. It is defined to be independent of any specific directory service implementation.
In 2013 (version 2.0-beta9), the log4j package added the “JNDILookup plugin” in issue LOG4J2–313. To understand how that change creates a problem, it's necessary to understand a little about JNDI: Java Naming and Directory Interface.
A JNDI name is a user-friendly name for an object. These names are bound to their objects by the naming and directory service that is provided by a J2SE server. Because J2SE components access this service through the JNDI API, an object's user-friendly name is its JNDI name.
The "java:" scheme was introduced in J2EE for accessing process-local data. The "comp" context is short for "component"; it contains data that is local to the J2EE component (web module or EJB type) that is active on the current thread. The "env" subcontext is short for "environment"; it is the context under which EJB references, resource references, and environment entries are bound. The "wm/default" is an arbitrary name. The "wm" subcontext name is the convention for work managers, but the full name could have also been "java:comp/env/myDefaultWM", where web.xml/ejb-jar.xml defined a resource-ref with <res-ref-name>myDefaultWM<res-ref-name>.
