Thanks Mark
That certainly looks like the place to start.

Subject: Re: Extending JNDI
Ron McNulty wrote:
Hello
I am running Apache Jetspeed Portal server (which sits on top of Tomcat)
as a development platform. We then deploy portlets to Websphere portal
server for production.
One area of incompatibility that I would like to fix is JNDI branches.
Tomcat provides the standard java:comp/env/ branch, but IBM have a couple
of other branches (e.g. /cells/persistent/... and /services/...) that
don't have the usual java:comp/env/ prefix. As JNDI paths specified in
/conf/context.xml automatically get the prefix added, these JNDI paths
won't work on Tomcat/Jetspeed.
I have an application level fix that works, but developers need to use a
specific class to do JNDI access (and regularly forget to do so). So I
would like implement the other JNDI branches in Tomcat itself. It would
be nice if this could be done as a plug-in module, but I am happy to hack
the Tomcat source code if necessary.
My impression is that I would need to provide a new naming context to
implement this. Can anyone point me at some documentation or give me some
ideas on how I could implement these paths?
Take a look at
http://svn.eu.apache.org/viewvc/tomcat/trunk/java/org/apache/catalina/core/StandardContext.java?view=markup
look for namingContextListener
and
http://svn.eu.apache.org/viewvc/tomcat/trunk/java/org/apache/catalina/core/NamingContextListener.java?view=markup
You can see from those how Tomcat does this.
I suspect you'll need to patch one or both of these. The
createNamingContext() method in the listener looks like a good place to
start.
HTH,
Mark
