You'll have to search long and hard to find it in the servlet spec :-).
The JNDI naming context requirements come from the J2EE Platform
Specification <http://java.sun.com/j2ee> chapter on Naming. Tomcat cannot
implement all of these features (for example, it doesn't have any EJB
support, so it cannot do much for an <ejb-ref>), but Tomcat does strive to
implement the subset it can in a manner compatible with J2EE. That's why
an app programmed to use JNDI resources for data sources, for example,
should be able to run unchanged on any J2EE-based app server.
On the particular feature you are speaking of, J2EE app servers are
required to be able to expose *a* naming context to a J2EE app client
which has been packaged with the appropriate support libraries for that
app server. However, this naming context would not be the same context
instance as for a web application stored in a server -- it would be one
custom crafted for that app client, based on the app client's deployment
descriptor.
It would be technically feasible (although non-portable) to add a way that
an external client (i.e. running in a separate JVM) could get access to a
webapp's naming context, using CORBA or RMI. However, even if you went to
all this work, it wouldn't do you very much good -- many of the resources
stored in the webapp naming context, such as data sources, are not
Serializable and could not be acquired and used from a separate JVM
anyway.
My advice would be to abandon the idea of trying to access the webapp's
naming context from an external application. If you need to have
information that is shared between a webapp and standalone apps, the
simplest thing to do is store it in a database that both of them access.
If the data changes and you need synchronization, investigate things like
JINI and JavaSpaces to maintain the coordination for you.
