End of my monologue... Coming off the above referenced forum thread, there's now an AS JIRA for solving the original problem: http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JBAS-4456 Doubtful this will be done before JBC 2.0, so for the 2.0 doc section on JNDI binding, I'm just going to make a comment that the old method won't work and include a link to the JIRA issue.
