If you want to write a client that makes use of Glassfish resources such as connection factories, but doesn't actually run in the Glassfish server itself, then the standard way of doing this is to run your client in the Glassfish Application Client Container.
This is documented in the Glassfish 2.1.1 Developers' Guide here:
http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/821-0181/beakt?l=en&a=view
Then you can simply instantiate an InitialContext without specifying any properties:
jndiContext = new InitialContext()
and it will know where to look.
