Hi, There are numerous other open source JNDI projects with their own InitialContextFactory implementations, it's just that most don't allow what you're trying to do. For example, OpenJMS, JBoss, several components of the Enhydra server, and others.
BTW, don't use the System.setProperty approach. Instead pass the factory class name in the hashtable-version of the InitialContext constructor. That's much friendlier to other things running in the same JVM.

Ideally I would like to just replace my: System.setProperty(Context.INITIAL_CONTEXT_FACTORY, "org.apache.naming.java.javaURLContextFactory"); with System.setProperty(Context.INITIAL_CONTEXT_FACTORY, "org.apache.commons.jdni..InitialContextFactory"); or some such thing.

Alternatively, extend and/or customize the org.apache.naming classes that ship with Tomcat for your own needs. That's not trivial.

From everything I've read so far, the InitialContext provided by Tomcat is read only, so I can't bind any new resources to it. How can I go about obtaining an InitialContext which I can write to? Again, I don't want to configure my resources within server.xml or context.xml.
