JNDIUtil.lookup always cast the JNDI lookup result to a String.
This method should support other object types like: java.net.URL, ...

Description:
1. In our environment, we have declared a variable in Websphere that holds a URL.
2. We use an <insertFromJNDI /> tag.
3. Then the following exception is thrown:
ERROR in ch.qos.logback.core.joran.spi.Interpreter at 4:71 - RuntimeException in Action for tag [insertFromJNDI] java.lang.ClassCastException: java.net.URL incompatible with java.lang.String
