Yeah but do me a favor and define your notion of API and SPI for me. I want to make sure we are inline before we begin. > BTW - this addition implies a JRE 1.3 dependency.

BTW if the implementation switches from using Property file artifacts for attributes to hitting an LDAP server the SUN JNDI provider is available out of the box with JDK1.3 and up. Hence it will not add weight to the bootstrapping jar - just a heck of a lot of power in a small package.
