>From the JNDI javadoc on CompositeName:
This class represents a composite name -- a sequence of component names
spanning multiple namespaces. Each component is a string name from
the namespace of a naming system. If the component comes from a
hierarchical namespace, that component can be further parsed into its
atomic
parts by using the CompoundName class.

This class represents a compound name -- a name from a hierarchical name
space. Each component in a compound name is an atomic name.
So, you would use CompositeName if you had several namespaces to
traverse and CompoundName for single namespaces. A CompositeName can
contain CompoundNames.
In this case there is only one namespace (unless they do something weird
inside their JNDIConnector) so CompoundName is the one to use.
Am I missing something here, or is this a TOPLink bug?
