Help please: re proper use of JNDI and Directory services

Question

I'm new to this J2EE/JDev stuff and have spent a few days pouring over Sun's JNDI and J2EE documentation as to how best to accomplish my task. Here's the big picture. I am constructing a web site in my PC at home for eventual deployment in an ISP server. I don't have an LDAP or COS server but ISPs usually do. I've found a public LDAP server I can use but the problem is getting an entry on the server that my JSP client and EJB server code can use to find my Entity bean and SQLServer database server respectively. The best I've been able to come up with is that I need to write my own Applet or client application to register my entries on that LDAPserver with appropriate Java attributes and then code my stuff to look it up using the DirContext class.
As for how I pass my stuff into my EJB bean, I intend to use jndi.properties to specify custom properties that map logicals to the physical resources that DirContext routines act on and use System.getProperty("...") to retrieve them dynamically without having to recode later. I haven't figured out exactly how to do this for Servlets and JSPs yet so they can find the beans.
I'm interested in any feedback to what I'm doing and how better to achieve my ends.
As an aside, I noticed as I poured through Sun's J2EE container software that they seem to have embedded COS in their deploytool as a nice feature that would effectively solve my problem if JDeveloper could integrate such a capability. Their sample programs were pretty straight-forward in configuring JDBC and the beans. Any thoughts from the JDev team on providing a similar capability for OC4J?
Thanks,
Dean

I would first left-click with the mouse on the camera icon (to enable/activate the snap shot feature), then I'd go with the mouse to the area I wanted to take the snapshot, click-and-drag so I would box-in the desired area to be copied/duplicated, then let go off the mouse (a ding wound then sound) and finally I would go to the page where I wanted to reproduce the snapshotted and left-click once with the mouse... And presto!
Not so with 11-Pro. It allows me to paste onto a different program such as MS-Word (or Outliok), but not onto a PDF page.
