They are very similar. JNDI is a little more general: a namespace of Objects.
VFS is a little more specific: a hierarchy of files.
VFS does not try to be as universal as JNDI does, even though there is going
to be plenty of overlap (find by name, create, delete, get/set attribute,
etc). VFS adds things that don't make sense under JNDI's more general model
(get content as a stream, content signing, copy a tree, converting to/from
java.io.File, etc), and does things in a way that reflects how files get used
(as opposed to how generic namespaces of Objects get used).
