Ok, I've configured this, and all I get back from the initCtx.lookup()
method is a ResourceRef, not a ContextPool.
I have found the reason for this to be that the "instanceof" check in
the getObjectInstance() method in
org.apache.naming.factory.ResourceFactory fails, and this must be due to
classloader issues.
What are the magic spells I need to cast to get classloading right?
Can I put the ContextPoolFactory in an independent jar file in lib,
common/lib or server/lib?
