question about ServiceLocator pattern

Hi,

I was wondering what would be the most approproate way to modify the serviceLocator pattern (from the core j2ee patterns book) to handle multiple initialContext? I.e, how do I modify the ServiceLocator to get the home from multiple remote servers?

Do I get the client to pass in the InitialContext to be used?

If I cache the homes - what should you use as the key? I.e. what can uniqeuly identify an InitialContext?

Cheers,

Nim
