      As stated at the bottom of [1], it seems there are *two* JNDI tutorials.

      The earlier JNDI Tutorial was based on the Java Series JNDI book, and covers through JDK 1.4.2; it is located here: https://docs.oracle.com/javase/jndi/tutorial/index.html .

      The more recent tutorial for JNDI is located with the rest of the Java Tutorials, and covers through JDK 6. It is located at this (very similar) URL: https://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/jndi/index.html .

      The recent Tutorial has a page describing the Event and Service Provider Packages:
      https://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/jndi/overview/event.html
      It states:
      "Event notification is described in detail in the Event Notification trail."
      However, the "Event Notification" link just points back to the current page, which isn't very helpful.

      The earlier tutorial *does* have a page that describes event notification. It is here: https://docs.oracle.com/javase/jndi/tutorial/beyond/event/index.html .

      It would be much more helpful if the indicated "Event Notification" link were to point to the event notification section of the earlier Tutorial.
