I think we should tidyup/consolidate the InitialContext factories
anyway.
We already have a number of different implementations doing
different things (excluding the protocol specific ones):
org.jnp.NamingContextFactory
Basic, but also includes hardwired ha policy
org.naming.NamingContextFactory
Provides access to the last jndi env
org.jboss.security.jndi.JndiLoginInitialContextFactory
Does an automatic login
org.jboss.iiop.naming.ORBInitialContextFactory
For automatic orb injection in case somebody uses CosNaming
My preference is to use JBoss Remoting's notion of a locator
for the provider url.
