Using JBoss7.1.2-NightlyBuild2012-04-30 - due to another fix - i observe strange behaviour within JNDI:

First destrying a subcontext seems not work, the subcontext is still available afterwards.

The second is, that after an unbind, the subcontext, which contained the object, is also gone.

Instead i expect the subcontext to be still available, although it is empty now.

Below are small test procedures for demonstration, at the indicated lines

the first throws the RuntimeException, the second a javax.naming.NameNotFoundException.

I execute these procedures within a SLSB on the application server.

Is there a specific way needed to set up a naming context on server side, i just use "new InitialContext()"?

Thanks,

Martin
