Using bind instead of rebind may cause trouble when the JNDI implementation is persistent (e.g. in an ldap directory) because deploying a previously crashed application will fail.

I know that the current situation can also be seen as a feature because the developer cannot deploy two different beans with the same jndi name but this has in my opinion a lesser priority. Further the ejb 2.x stack uses rebind too.

The request http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/EJBTHREE-51 describtes to use Util.rebind() but in fisheye I saw Util.bind().
