I agree with dim, and Util's getHome()/getLocalHome() should use java:comp/env since that's the spec recommendation.
I suggest that we add getHomeJNDI()/getLocalHomeJNDI() methods that use the JNDI name for lookup. This will make everybody happy. The javadocs in the Util classes should explain the difference between the two and clearly state that getHome()/getLocalHome() are the preferred methods for a container environment. I just saw Dion's response too. I disagree with his suggestion to resort to JNDI if comp fails. That would be "defensive programming", which I don't like because you wouldn't know why something works. IMHO different methods is a better alternative.
