getNameInNamespace() is wrong
-----------------------------

                 Key: XBEAN-125
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/XBEAN-125
             Project: XBean
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: naming
    Affects Versions: 3.5
            Reporter: David Jencks


NameInNamespace handling seems to be completely wrong.  After a lot of poking 
around I found out from the jndi tutorial book p. 339 discussion of fully 
qualified names that getNameInNamespace is supposed to be the complete 
hierachical name in the namespace.  Currently it is the name in which a 
subcontext is bound into its parent.  Previously I've been confused about what 
a "namespace" is.... on p.13 its defined to be the set of all names in a naming 
system.  This appears to mean the names starting at a root context, not at a 
subcontext.

A related problem is that the nameInNamespace is stripped off a lookup in 
AbstractContext:

        if (stringName.startsWith(nameInNamespace)) {
            stringName = stringName.substring(nameInNamespace.length());
        }


I'm not sure what should be happening here if anything but the result of the 
current code is that if you create subcontexts to bind
a/b/c
and 
a/a/b/c

the two "b" subcontexts end up being the same object and the second bind 
attempt fails.
