Google App Engine

[Philippe Merle]

Hi,

I am deploying a CXF-based application on Google App Engine. Have a look 
at http://ow2-frascati.appspot.com/

I am using Apache CXF 2.4.1.

Its class 
org.apache.cxf.transport.servlet.ServletContextResourceResolver uses two 
classes (javax.naming.InitialContext and javax.naming.NamingException) 
which are not allowed to be used on GAE. The use is done in the method 
'resolve':

    public final <T> T resolve(final String entryName, final Class<T> 
clz) {

        Object obj = null;
        try {
            if (entryName != null) {
                InitialContext ic = new InitialContext();
                try {
                    obj = ic.lookup(entryName);
                } finally {
                    ic.close();
                }
            }
        } catch (NamingException e) {
            //do nothing
        }
        ...

When I am commenting this try/catch block then the class 
ServletContextResourceResolver seems to work well on GAE.

I would like to know:
* is this try/catch block really required?
* if not, could it be removed in a future version of CXF?
* if yes, which could be the solution in order to have this behavior 
when needed and removed it when using CXF on GAE?

Thank you in advance and A+
