Hmm. Interesting point to consider. What if the resource wasn’t available as in the case of an LDAP server. The code is expecting to read from some resource, right? I would think a file based resource would be available in LDAP under a different name.

I see two link points on resources. reference <--> JNDI and JNDI <--> actual resource. I suppose one might want to change the reference to point to different JNDI resources in a shared environment. Is this what you mean?

However I strongly disagree on Resource References. IMO these belong in a deployment descriptor of some sort. Does the environment even have an LDAP server available? Is one necessary? Could the resource be file based in some deployments and LDAP based in others? What about the resource being class-loader based?
