Jeremy Boynes commented on GERONIMO-956:
----------------------------------------

There are quite a few applications out there that access the global JNDI 
directly to lookup resources. This is non-standard behaviour but for them we 
can either force them to change or provide a context they can use - this was 
meant to support them.

This is probalby less essential now that we have a directory integrated, but on 
the other hand it probably is a lot lighter in weight.

> Remove "global JNDI space"

>      Project: Geronimo
>         Type: Improvement
>   Components: connector, naming

> Geronimo has a "global" JNDI space under "geronimo:".  However:
>  - it's only used by connectors, not EJBs
>  - it's not visible outside the current VM
> It doesn't seem like this is really benefitting anyone.  The effort necessary 
> to make it behave like JNDI behaves in other popular app servers seems to be 
> significant.  After talking on IRC, David J and I are soliciting feedback on 
> removing this feature entirely for now.
> Note: this is different than the JNDI space that OpenEJB uses to expose EJBs 
> to remote clients, which takes EJBs only and is obviously accessible to 
> remote clients.  We are not proposing to change that at this time.
