I have done something similar, which may be helpful or of interest to you.
For our unit tests, I have used the standard JNDI jars from Tomcat
(naming-factory, naming-factory-dbcp, naming-resources) and in the
BaseTestCase (extends junit.framework.TestCase) I create and load the JNDI
context from a property file.

This allows the rest of the classes-under-test to function as if they were
running under the Tomcat container and allows for the regular and complete
JNDI lookup of all our DataSources.  I used to use the JavaRanch jndi helper
but it only supports a single DataSource.

I would be happy to share the code with anyone who may want it.  It's 200+
lines of code, and I wouldn't post the whole thing to the list, so send me
e-mail off-list if you want a copy.

For one JVM to see or provide JNDI lookups for another would require a
network/port aware JNDI scheme.  I'm not aware of one, but wouldn't be
surprised if one exists either.
