Actually JNDI is quite simple and can be used in any Java application.
It does not necessarily require a server.  It is just an API and a
simple implementation can always be used to provide the necessary
functionality within an SE.

Here's one example:  http://www.osjava.org/simple-jndi/index.html

And maybe even the JBoss implementation can be used separately, but I
haven't examined it.
