Ideally, it would appear to each application that it was the only
application running in the server, despite the fact that there may
actually be 3 or 4 or a dozen apps running in the server. So if an
application crawls JNDI, it will see nothing but its own stuff. If three
applications each declare a DB pool called "Database", the bindings won't
fail or replace other bindings, but instead each app will see only its own
DB pool. If a user can log in to application A (and it's JNDI space),
that does not mean the user can log in to application B (or its JNDI
space). Like virtual hosting, in the sense that as far as each app is
concerned it's the only app, whereas under the covers there may be loads
of them.
