The problem with the current implementation of the context builder is 
that as that it is a singleton in the jndi factory and that it has the 
highest configuration priority.

If you want to use this naive but useful jndi implementation for your 
tests and that at the same time you want to use ldap... basically you 
are cooked as the sent context is not a dircontext.

I needed to use a jndi provider for a command line application that was 
also deployed in a servlet container which was making use of jndi for 
configuration. I noticed that because the application was using ldap 
heavily and it was complaining about the context.

Honestly I did not investigate too much as it was a last minute fix for 
a customer, and I solved the problem by using catalina-naming provider 
(a 10 line change with my spring configuration)
