Exceptions being hidden when thrown by InitialContextFactory from a Builder

                 Key: ARIES-515
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARIES-515
             Project: Aries
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: JNDI
    Affects Versions: 0.3
            Reporter: Alasdair Nottingham
            Assignee: Alasdair Nottingham
             Fix For: 0.3


A common use of JNDI is to perform authentication against an LDAP registry of 
users. This typically works by going new InitialDirContext(props) where the 
props contains a userid/password. This requires the AuthenticationException to 
be thrown from the InitialDirContext constructor. When used with the default 
JNDI implementation what actually happens is you get a 
NoInitialContextException because the creation of the Context fails and if the 
ICF was created from an ICFB then the exception is swallowed rather than 
rethrown.
