All,

I had occasion to write some code to traverse the JNDI tree for JDBC resources and list them. My code looks something like this:

InitialContext ictx = null;
Context ctx = null;

try {
  ictx = new InitialContext();

  ctx = ictx.lookup("java:comp/env/jdbc");

  ...
} finally {
    if(null != ctx) try { ctx.close(); } catch () ...
    if(null != ictx) try { ictx.close(); } catch () ...
}

This code is throwing an exception:

javax.naming.OperationNotSupportedException: Context is read only
        at org.apache.naming.NamingContext.checkWritable(NamingContext.java:637)
        at org.apache.naming.NamingContext.close(NamingContext.java:430)
        at [... my code ...]

Examples online from Sun/Oracle seem to indicate that calling Context.close() when code is finished with a Context resource is appropriate.

Should this method be throwing an exception?
