Are you planning on making the J2EE component enviroment (java:comp/ 
env) writable?  I can see making the global tree writable, but am  
concerned about making the component environment itself writable.   
The J2EE 1.4 spec page 64 states:

The container must ensure that the application component instances  
have only
read access to their environment variables. The container must throw the
javax.naming.OperationNotSupportedException from all the methods of the
javax.naming.Context interface that modify the environment naming  
context
and its subcontexts

I suppose we could add an optional flag for non-compliant  
applications to allow them to modify their environment, but I think  
the default for the component environment should be read-only.

BTW, I am in favor of making everything else writable.
