There really are two separate configuration topics here: configuration of the client (which is reasonable to do via JNDI) and configuration of the broker (which nobody in their right mind would ever consider doing via JNDI). It would probably be helpful clarify which one you mean in a given context.

The Java JMS examples we use configure the broker - they set up queues and bindings in the broker. What's our story here - is this something that nobody in their right mind would actually do? If so, we might want to change this in our examples once we provide better alternatives ....

Yes, this is pretty much insane since you need to separately specify your broker schema for each client that connects, and if they don't all match (e.g. one has a typo) then who knows what you'll end up getting. It's a race where the first client to connect wins.

Not to mention it's woefully incomplete as a mechanism to configure the broker, e.g. there is no way to delete the queues and bindings you create this way.

In general you should have a single well documented schema for the broker that is maintained separately from all the clients, and the clients should be configured with the minimal information required to connect to this schema, i.e. just the relevant queue or topic name.
