I had a look at the JNDI example, unfortunately it wasn't totally relevant
as everything
is defined in the web.xml and that has always worked for me.

After a lot more debugging and I am getting even more confused (!!!). I put
some trace
into the "init" function of my servlet. It's within the "init" that I do the
JNDI name lookups.
The "init" gets called twice per servlet. On the first call everything is OK
and my lookup
succeeds. The second time however the lookup fails with a NamingException.

I notice that the first time the "init" gets called, the context returned
has the bindings I expect.
The second call to "init" which performs identical processing gets a
NamingContext with
nothing bound (I don't have any entries in the web.xml, had I defined any I
think they would be
the only entries there).

It also looked like the two inits were done by different class loaders, as I
defined some static
members and they were not carried across to the second init.

Can anybody explain why the "init" may be called twice?

Sorry, ant problems. I think the date on my machine may be a bit slow and
hence
when I did an update it didn't recompile everything.
