That's definitely true of most third-party JNDI implementations; i.e.
we should be first as we will delegate to them, whereas they usually
won't delegate to us. But for Tomcat specifically, we have some code
that exports all of our JNDI entries into Tomcat so that there only
needs to be one JNDI impl controlling the show -- Tomcat's.

Not sure why the EntityManager isn't getting picked up with the beans
in WEB-INF/lib/ vs WEB-INF/classes/. We did add some very detailed
logging around the resolution of EntityManager references specifically
since 3.0-beta-2 that might help (in the new openejb.war i just put
up). Hopefully there'll be something in the log that might illuminate
what's going on.
