Answer 1

You can use "Simple JNDI" for this. Gives you a simple file based JNDI environment well suited for non-EE applications, or in situations where you do not want to occupy the network port.

Answer 2

You cannot use WebSphere's JNDI facilities when the server is in quiescing mode (shutting down).

I suspect something is a bit off with the way that you're testing your application. To help you, you'll have to provide us with more information about your architecture. Is it a standard servlet-JSP based WebApp that you're testing? What does your "main method" look like?
