About 18 months ago (mid 2003), we extracted the in-memory JNDI provider
from jakarta-tomcat-catalina and started a Jakarta Commons naming
component.  That component has moved to the Apache Directory project in
the apache incubator <http://incubator.apache.org/directory/>.  The
naming component's web page is here:
http://incubator.apache.org/directory/subprojects/naming/index.html

We are preparing to release a "technology preview" 0.8 version of
[naming] from the incubator and would like to ask the tomcat community
for feedback and also to consider using the component.  A release
candidate is available here:
http://www.apache.org/~psteitz/naming/

Enhancements and bug fixes in the tomcat code since the code was
extracted have been applied, the jar packaging follows tomcat 5 and no
dependencies have been added to the core components. See
http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DIRNAMING-10 for details on changes
to the tomcat classes.

The main addition to the tomcat code is an XmlConfigurator that enables
a JNDI context to be initialized outside of a container, using an xml
configuration file.

Any comments, suggestions for improvment, or volunteers to help test or
integrate with tomcat would be most welcome. Comments should be directed to
[EMAIL PROTECTED]

Thanks!

Phil
