Why naming service is not available when Servlet is initializing?(Tomcat 5.5.9)

[Jian Liao]

All,
I'm trying to integrate jetspeed 2 with geronimo(svn head) and tomcat-5.5.9 as web container.
The deployment is successful. But Jetspeed will initialize OJB in JetspeedServlet.init() method which needs to obtain resource jdbc/jetspeed through JNDI. It just can not get it cause the context is never bind to the thread.

I try it with Jetty and it works because ComponentContextBeforeAfter is called.

I am wondering if I am not allowed to do any JNDI operation in Servlet.init()?

Any help would be appreciated.
