I assume that you aren't using any Tomcat-specific code in your
classes... just the standard InitialContext, etc. If that's the case,
you ought to be able to get a minimal JNDI interface going for your unit
tests. I would imagine that there is an OSS component out there for this
kind of thing.

One trick I have used in the past is to use my own "connection factory"
to get connections. When running in unit test mode, I replace the
connection factory with one that returns placeholder connections (often
stuffed full of mock objects) and in deployment mode, I use one that
just delegates to JNDI to get a connection.

Hope that helps,
- -chris
