New jndi contexts

[David Jencks <da...@yahoo.com>]

The javaee 6 spec requires some new jndi contexts.  I've opened  
GERONIMO-5025 and plan to look into implementing this support.  It  
looks fairly straightforward, but comments and advice are always  
welcome.

thanks

The code for a lot of this, plus integration of the aries osgi jndi  
service-related stuff, is pretty much done and I haven't found  
problems yet.  On the other hand I haven't found a good way to test it  
yet.

One problem with the aries jndi stuff is that I had to write something  
to set up the rmi urlContextHandler and used the sun implementation.   
The osgi bits are mostly set up in a blueprint plan in rmi-naming.

The bits I know about missing from the ee6 jndi are:

1. no checking for duplicate specification of entries in module,  
application, or global contexts
2. unclear how module and comp relate for web apps
3. no support yet for jndi specification in application.xml
4. app client global jndi support only has entries from the current  
app, it doesn't connect to the server to find out what other apps  
might or might not have made available.  Things like binding a local  
ejb in global or app context and seeing what happens in an app context  
have not yet been investigated.... I suppose the logical thing would  
be to start up an embedded ejb container in the app client :-)
