After all, you like that pattern everywhere else :-).
That's not necesarily true - I usually like a hook that plugs a class with the dependency, and conditional compilation. ( like in jdk11 compat package in tomcat ). Since JNDI is included in JDK1.3 and available for 1.1 - and it can be detected at runtime - I would rather use it directly and keep the code simpler.
