Yes, this library is read only int erms of the tags implemented.

I also have a DirContext taglibrary I've written but I've not separated 
from our project on SF. As its author I can release it to Apache.

http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/thedata/VDC/src/UIS/VDC/WEB-INF/classes/edu/harvard/hmdc/taglib/jndi/
http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/*checkout*/thedata/VDC/src/UIS/VDC/WEB-INF/tld/vdc/taglib-jndi.tld?content-type=text%2Fplain&rev=1.5

The write part was not that difficult. This library needs alot of work 
though.

-Cheers,
Mark
