This function throws a StringIndexOutOfBounds if the words collection is empty ...

class SimpleNamingContext ... { ...

 public static String joinWithString(String seperator, Collection<?> 

words) { String ret = ""; for (Object s: words) { ret+=s.toString()+seperator; } return ret.substring(0, ret.length()-seperator.length()); }

Apologies for the long delay - the issue tracker wasn't hooked up to the group (still not sure it's working).

I can't find SimpleNamingContext or joinWithString (no surprise as simple-jndi didn't support generics). Could you explain this more as to the osjava related code?

Hmm perhaps I submitted this to the wrong project... the name SimpleNamingContext must have confused me into thinking this came from simple-jndi when in fact it came from the Spring Project.

My apologies ...

No problem - sorry again for the hideously long time it took me to respond.
