Incorrect. It is actually possible to make this work for app clients too.
See the latest J2EE spec for details.

As Chris said, this is not possible since JNDI gets hold of that name before
it is handed to our JNDI implementation, and since it looks like a
"protocol:" URL it will treat it as one. Sorry, no go.

Correct.

To be precise it's the "java:comp/env" namespace that is bean specific (yes,
the current impl we have is buggy since it makes the entire java: namespace
bean specific. I.e. there could be a binding "java:comp/logger" that is the
same for all beans. I will look into this later on).

Yes, that would be nice but unfortunately it doesn't currently work because
of above reason.

I hope things are clear now.
Again, later on *we will support* java: in application clients too (since it
is mandated by latest spec!)
