Lets review the code > bases and discuss. The JNDI part of simple-jndi has been very limited, partly due to my lack of grokking of the more complex areas of JNDI. Most of what is there code-wise is in fact the underlying database as such. It can handle XML, .properties and now .ini files as input, mainly by mapping them all to java.util.Properties with a set delimiter to show the hierarchy. It has some basic conversion tactics and in v0.8 will move to use Commons-Convert as its conversion api. This lets us store some basic objects rather than just Strings, using the same API as BeanUtils will use someday [i hope]. I'm installing svn-client on my mac now and will try out the naming build as you described in the other mail. Hen
