[jira] Created: (DIRNAMING-12) Support named contexts in XMLConfigurator

Support named contexts in XMLConfigurator
-----------------------------------------

         Key: DIRNAMING-12
         URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DIRNAMING-12
     Project: Directory naming
        Type: Improvement
    Reporter: Phil Steitz
 Assigned to: Phil Steitz 


Extend the XmlConfigurator to support (multiple) named contexts and modify NamingContextFactory to look for context names in the environment and either create new named contexts with these names or return the named context from ContextBindings. For backward compatibility, map the empty name to a shared, writable context rooted at "java:comp/env."

Add a "base" attribute to the context element to play the role that the name attribute is now playing -- i.e., to specify the root name relative to which all of the child entries are named.

This will be a backwards-incompatible change for anyone who has been using the "name" attribute to specify the root name.  Instead of, e.g.
<context name="alt/root/context">, 
the new version will require
<context base="alt/root/context">
