    JNDI is next on my list to look at. I read about it somewhere around
    6 months ago, but that was in a Tomcat context and I didn't see
    anything regarding encryption. Do you have any links/pointers for
    encrypted JNDI? I hadn't thought about the export issues (I'm very
    focused on my initial needs), but we could have a simple version for
    export if we included it (ROT13 anyone?).

    Thanks!
