JNDI: difference between bind() and createSubcontext()

[sakagami]

Hi,

I'm writing an LDAP read/write program using JNDI. What is the
difference between bind() and createSubcontext() in class
javax.naming.directory?

Both methods seem to be able to create an LDAP entry, and I can't find
the difference between them except that bind() can take an object
parameter which implements the Serializable or DirContext interface.

Regards,
