Subject: [JNDI] Utility Library

Hey Guys,

Should we start a JNDI Utility Library?

I already have several pieces that I think
would work better in a central location.  I'm
just showing them in the org.apache.tuscany.das.ldap.util
for now.

Also, do we have any code for looking up
an entry's parent entry/context?.

Something like

ctx = ctx.getParentContext() //If the parent is then do what a DOM API does

I'm currently thinking about implementing it
doing something like:

String namespacedContext = ctx.getNameInNamespace();
//Parse the namespacedContext
//Look up the RDN's parent entry

But there may be better ways of doing it.

Thoughts?

Thanks,
- Ole
