[ann] simple-jndi

I'm not trying to push this or anything for Directory, but I thought I'd
mention it as it's my reason for being interested in JNDI things.

I pushed out a 0.7 release of simple-jndi yesterday and put work into
making the website a lot nicer to use than the Maven default.

The JNDI part of simple-jndi has been very limited, partly due to my lack
of grokking of the more complex areas of JNDI. Most of what is there
code-wise is in fact the underlying database as such.

It can handle XML, .properties and now .ini files as input, mainly by
mapping them all to java.util.Properties with a set delimiter to show the
hierarchy.

It has some basic conversion tactics and in v0.8 will move to use
Commons-Convert as its conversion api. This lets us store some basic
objects rather than just Strings, using the same API as BeanUtils will use
someday [i hope].

I'm installing svn-client on my mac now and will try out the naming build
as you described in the other mail.

We should discuss seriously the options around merging this stuff into 
[naming].  I will add some more docs for the tomcat-derived stuff and we 
can think about this strategically.  There are several sets of needs here 
and we should start discussing the use cases (standalone apps, containers, 
LDAP JNDI, etc.) and choose the best impl for each.  Lets review the code 
bases and discuss.

You can do that using the existing [naming] impl.  What we need to discuss 
is what makes sense to merge/refactor.

Yep I had a look at it.  Looks like good stuff Henry.
If you would like to bring it here I would not have 
objections.  Might use it myself for an employer since I want
to lookup DataSources in some of my non-appserver code
in the same way.

Cheers,
Alex

Is this something that you want to contribute as a code donation, and have
incorporated?
