well, within a web-app you can use the servlet context - you can get to it via
the MessageContext:
  MessageContext ctx = MessageContext.getCurrentContext();
  Servlet servlet = (Servlet)ctx.getProperty(HTTPConstants.MC_HTTP_SERVLET);
  ServletConfig config = servlet.getServletConfig();
  ServletContext context = config.getServletContext();

since the servlet context is a web-app-wide Map which is good for the life of
the web-app that sounds similar to what you're describing.  not as kewl as
JNDI, but not as expensive either. :)  not too different from a global
singleton HashMap, really...
