    "Storing" ejb-jar.xml in an LDAP directory

    vgamerma

      Hello,

      How do I configure JBoss to use an external (non-JBoss) naming service? I looked through the docs which I bought but could not find a clear answer.

      Basically we want to store all the deployment description information in an LDAP server (we have eDirectory from Novell).

      I understand all I have to do is just create the InitialContext pointing to the eDirectory LDAP provider URL. Is that it? Should not I have to do something else?

      Thanks,
      Val

          Deployment descriptors are not read from jndi.
          They are packaged in deployments which can
          be deployed from any url.

          Regards,
          Adrian

            My question probably sounds stupid to you and I apologize for that. I am probably not using the right terminology.

            All I want to achieve is to have a JNDI source independent from the Application Server which would describe the EJB's. That's the source I would have client to connect to get the object references. I thought it can be done.

            Could you please eloborate on this a little? I know nobody has the time these days but I would really appreciate it...

            Thanks,
            Val

              I don't know very much about ldap, I'm sorry.

              I know with jboss's jndi it is possible to
              bind in contexts from external jndi trees.
              I don't know whether ldap has the same functionality.
