I have never tried to do what you are talking about, but you might want to
try using com.evermind.server.rmi.RMIInitialContextFactory as your
INITIAL_CONTEXT_FACTORY within your servlet.
so..........
Hashtable env = new Hashtable();
env.put(Context.INITIAL_CONTEXT_FACTORY,
"com.evermind.server.rmi.RMIInitialContextFactory");
env.put(Context.PROVIDER_URL, "ormi://yourserver.com/yourapp");
env.put(Context.SECURITY_PRINCIPAL, myUser);
env.put(Context.SECURITY_CREDENTIALS, myPass);
Context initCtx = new InitialContext(env);
initCtx.lookup(.......etc.,etc.
-jason
