--- Comment #5 from Mark Thomas <ma...@apache.org> --- I've had another read of the relevant bits of the Java EE spec and I can't see a clear reason for this limitation. There are some hints that suggest it is to do with the scopes of the various defined namespaces and making sure the application sees the JNDI context it expects. But I don't see why that should stop some other namespace being used - obviously with the onus on the user to make sure they are using it correctly / it behaves as they expect w.r.t. returned types, shared/unique instances, visibility scope etc. Given that this change was only applied because it was noticed that the validation was missing while reviewing the lookup name implementation - rather than as a result of a bug report or similar - then I've no objection to the validation being reverted if that is the preferred option. Note it would need to be reverted from all current versions. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@tomcat.apache.org
