There are a couple of ways. First, if there is a multi-part name, only the last part could be an object name that references and object (it might be a context), the rest are all contexts. Second, you could query JNDI and examine the object type returned. Third, you could use jndiView to see the entire JNDI tree, and it tells you what everything is.
