JNDI name syntax is the default syntax and is suitable for typical JNDI clients.
This syntax includes the following special characters: forward slash (/)
and backslash (\). Components in a name are delimited by a forward slash.
The backslash is used as the escape character. A forward slash is interpreted literally if it is escaped, that is, preceded by a backslash. Similarly, a backslash is interpreted literally if it is escaped.
