JNDI access to a SAR in JBoss

I'm a newbie in JNDI and Hibernate and I'm using Jboss.
I have a SAR file and i would like to access it by JNDI. My main questions at this point are:

1. I'm using the following code to create an initial context:

Code:

Hashtable environment = new Hashtable();
environment.put( Context.INITIAL_CONTEXT_FACTORY, jndiFactoryClass );
environment.put( Context.PROVIDER_URL, jndiURL );
initCtx = new InitialContext( environment );

Still, i don't know what should be my INITIAL_CONTEXT_FACTORY and PROVIDER_URL. And should these lines be in the class referenced by the INITIAL_CONTEXT_FACTORY?

2. I would also like to know a method for a client to obtain a session, without creating a new one. I think that the following will do that, but is this the best way to achieve it?

Code:

Context ctx = new InitialContext(); 
SessionFactory factory = (SessionFactory) ctx.lookup "java:/hibernate/HibernateFactory"); 
sess = factory.openSession();

Thanks very much for your time. Any valuable reference would be very appreciated...
