JNDI with tomcat (newbie)

Question

Hi,
I'm fairly new to java and trying to setup apache jackrabbit using JNDI with tomcat. My problem is that my servlet receives a org.apache.jackrabbit.core.jndi.BindableRepository instead javax.jcr.Repository. It seems as if it doesn't matter what is written in my web.xml nor context.xml. Any tips is most appretiated (but I guess it s just my lack of knowledge that is causing the problem).
Server.xml
<GlobalNamingResources>
     <Resource name="jcr/globalRepository" auth="Container" type="javax.jcr.Repository" factory="org.apache.jackrabbit.core.jndi.BindableRepositoryFactory" configFilePath="C:/Development/Eclipse/Workspace/iKvittoPlatform/iKvittoRepository/repository.xml" repHomeDir="C:/Development/Eclipse/Workspace/iKvittoPlatform/iKvittoRepository" />web.xml
    <resource-env-ref>
          <description>Content Repository</description>
          <resource-env-ref-name>jcr/repository</resource-env-ref-name>
          <resource-env-ref-type>javax.jcr.Repository</resource-env-ref-type>
    </resource-env-ref>context.xml (in WEB-INF)
     <ResourceLink name="jcr/repository" global="jcr/globalRepository" type="javax.jcr.Repository" />My servlet
import java.io.IOException;
import java.io.PrintWriter;
import javax.jcr.Repository;
import javax.naming.Context;
import javax.naming.InitialContext;
import javax.servlet.ServletException;
import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest;
import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletResponse;
* Servlet implementation class for Servlet: JcrDemoServlet

     protected void doGet(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response) throws ServletException, IOException {

     /* (non-Java-doc)
      * @see javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet#doPost(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response)
     protected void doPost(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response) throws ServletException, IOException {
          PrintWriter writer = response.getWriter();
          writer.println("SERVLET JNDI");
          try
               InitialContext ctx = new InitialContext();
               Context localContext = (Context) ctx.lookup("java:comp/env");
               //writer.println(localContext);
               Object repository = localContext.lookup("jcr/repository");
               if(repository instanceof Repository)
                    writer.println("SUCCESS");
               else
                    writer.println("FAILURE");
                    writer.println(repository.getClass());
          catch(Exception e)
               writer.println("EXCEPTION");
               writer.println("<p><pre>");
               e.printStackTrace(writer);
               writer.println("</p></pre>");
          writer.close();
          // TODO Auto-generated method stub
}
