Help with InitialContext

Is it possible to use i Tomcat 3.1 objects from JNDI like InitialContext and so on
as described in taglib tutorial on server
http://www.orionserver.com/taglibtut/lesson6/
My focus is on configuration part which is putted to web.xml file
  <env-entry>

    <description>A test value</description>
    <env-entry-name>test</env-entry-name>
    <env-entry-value>HelloWorld</env-entry-value>
    <env-entry-type>java.lang.String</env-entry-type>

  </env-entry>

  and is loaded by
  try{

    InitialContext context=new InitialContext();
    Object obj=(Object)context.lookup("java:comp/env/"+name);
    }catch(javax.naming.NamingException ne){

    throw new JspException(ne.getMessage()); 
  }

Thanks for reply

In which version do you suppose this option will be included?

  At the moment Tomcat does not include a JNDI-compatible InitialContext, and it ignores the presence of <env-entry> (as well as <resource-ref> and <ejb-ref>) tags in your web.xml file.  At least for <env-entry> and <resource-ref> this is something I would like to change in the next major version of Tomcat.
