Callback interface to be implemented by classes that need to perform an
operation (such as a lookup) in a JNDI context. This callback approach
is valuable in simplifying error handling, which is performed by the
JndiTemplate class. This is a similar to JdbcTemplate's approach.
Note that there is hardly any need to implement this callback
interface, as JndiTemplate provides all usual JNDI operations via
convenience methods.
