JNDI
Java Naming and Directory Service. JNDI is a hierarchical directory of resources available to all Java classes. Essentially, JNDI is a structured global configuration system, separating resource use in application code from resource configuration in configuration files. Resources like database DataSources, JMS queues, and EJB home stubs are configured with JNDI.
RESIN_HOME
The directory containing the Resin binaries and classes. In the default configuration, RESIN_HOME will be the same as SERVER_ROOT, i.e. the document directories and log files are based on RESIN_HOME. A typical location for RESIN_HOME might be /usr/local/resin.
SERVER_ROOT
The directory containing the user's documents and log files. By default, SERVER_ROOT is the same as RESIN_HOME, but sophisticated users will create a separate directory from the Resin binaries. A typical location for SERVER_ROOT might be /usr/local/webroot.
.war file
A .war file is a packaged Servlet application. It's just a renamed .jar file of the web-app directory tree. Resin provides a special webapps directory which will automatically expand .war files, configured by the <war-dir> attribute in the resin.conf's host configuration.
web-app
A web application treated as a mini-virtual-host. The web-app is defined as all children URLs a context path, e.g. all URLs with /foo as the prefix. Each web-app has its own class loader, JNDI resources, and web.xml to configure the web-app. web-apps are often configured using .war files and the webapps directory configured by <war-dir>.
WEB-INF
The directory containing the web-apps classes, jars and configuration files.
