JNDI Taglib does not close context when using <jndi:useDirContext> tag

           Summary: JNDI Taglib does not close context when using
                    <jndi:useDirContext> tag
           Product: Taglibs
           Version: 1.0
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Major
          Priority: Other
         Component: JNDI Taglib
        AssignedTo: taglibs-dev@jakarta.apache.org

This is important for freeing network resources on heavily laden web-app servers
as well as the LDAP servers they point at.

I had to add <% contextName.close(); %> to the end of my jsp page in order to do
a timely close of the connection to an LDAP resource.

In my Java code that uses JNDI and LDAP, I just use contextName.close() in the
finally clause so as not to forget :-)
