trouble with JNDI context

[Guillaume Rousse <Gu...@univ-reunion.fr>]

Hi.
I'm having troubles for specifying JNDI properties for tomcat :
- file jndi.properties in WEB-INF classes is not read
- using such syntax in env-entry in web.xml :
	<env-entry>
		<env-entry-name>java.naming.factory.initial</env-entry-name>
		<env-entry-value>org.objectweb.jeremie.libs.services.registry.jndi.JRMIInitialContextFactory</env-entry-value>
		<env-entry-type>java.lang.String</env-entry-type>
	</env-entry>
	<env-entry>
		<env-entry-name>java.naming.provider.url</env-entry-name>
		<env-entry-value>jrmi://</env-entry-value>
		<env-entry-type>java.lang.String</env-entry-type>
	</env-entry>

gives this error at tomcat startup :
ERROR reading /usr/local/tomcat/webapps/ppf/WEB-INF/web.xml At Line 12
/web-app/env-entry/

        at org.apache.tomcat.startup.Tomcat.main(Tomcat.java:130)

So, the only i found is to hardcode
java.naming.factory.url and java.naming.provider.url in my servelt, but that's
not very practical...

Also, i found some references to ejb designation directly in web.xml in servlet
2.2 specification. What's the interest above the usual way to get ejb via
InitialContext.lookup() method ?
