You may want to check out UnboundID's LDAP solution www.unboundid.com/products/ldapsdk/ Haven't tried it yet but seems like a compromise.

Here is a quick comparison between UnboundID SDK, JNDI and Netscape SDK: www.unboundid.com/products/ldap-sdk/docs/advantages/comparison.php . It may be biased since it's on unbound's website but hey, gives you a good idea why you might consider it.
