Using JNDI for LDAP is a very, very bad idea.
For my own edification and possibly the benefit of the archives, though, can you go into the reasons *why* it's a bad idea?
[cut]
Years of experience of using JNDI and dealing with its multitude of bugs and the fact the LDAP portion of JNDI is generally unmaintained. The developers who worked on it left Sun/Oracle and went and created UnboundID, but did it from scratch and were able to fix the many deficiencies in JNDI's ldap bits.

for a bug that's *years* old and remains unfixed.
Thanks for following up and providing that information.
