I don't know enough about JDO to know what the functionality you need
really is, but I would envision that you'd want to store a generic
"factory for creating JDO instances of arbitrary types" in the JNDI
directory context, instead of creating a different JNDI resource factory
for each type of JDO object that you might want (which is essentially how
EJB references work in a J2EE app server).
