AFAIK the closest thing to JNDI in the C++ world is perhaps ADSI/Windows. While it provides a generic lookup interface that is mainly used to access directories of various kinds, i have seen it being used to look-up and read several other kinds of data sources. You would write an ADSI provider for DB, etc.
