How does a container control what is in the instance myContext?

The container can establish both the implementation and population of the
initial context. To do this per component is a bit more of an issue.

One solution involves playing with
NamingManager.setInitialContextFactoryBuilder().

This is direction my thinking has been going, too. However, there seems to be a number of ways to achieve the per-mailet context thing.

You can also play around
with classloaders. If this were really of interest, we can snarf code from
Tomcat, which supports per-webapp contexts, as I understand it.

However, my proposal wasn't an attempt to implement IoC.

The direction that I have taken this proposal is not intended to implement IOC, either. One aspect of it realises one benefit of IOC - IMHO the important one.

Servlets don't see
separate contexts, and that is the model closest to the Mailet API.

As far as I am aware, servlets have nothing to do with JNDI. Is this a recent addition to the servlet spec? (I have not written a servlet in about a year, but I wrote a fair few prior to that.)
