how to set a jndi name for a mbean

hi,
i wrote my first mbean and everything works fine. but how can i access this mbean from, let's say, a EJB? i want to do this using:

InitalContext ctx = new InitialContext();
MyMBean bean = (MyMBean)ctx.lookup("myMBean");

my question is now: how can i bind this mbean with the JNDI name?

In the jboss docs they provide a jboss specific implementation for binding your mbean to the jndio namespace

private void rebind() throws NamingException
{
 InitialContext rootCtx = new InitialContext();
 Name fullName = rootCtx.getNameParser("").parse(jndiName);
 NonSerializableFactory.rebind(fullName, contextMap, true);
}

private void unbind(String jndiName)
{
 try
 {
 InitialContext rootCtx = new InitialContext();
 rootCtx.unbind(jndiName);
 NonSerializableFactory.unbind(jndiName);
 }
 catch(NamingException e)
 {
 e.printStackTrace();
 }
}

This works well but obviously ties you to Jboss. I am just now in the process of trying to find a non-jboss specific implementation but as yet have not found one.
