Global JNDI

[sraj]

Hi

I have a session bean for which i have defined the jndi-name in jboss.xml as

<jndi-name>com/comp/app/MySessionBean</jndi-name>

But when I lookup the JNDIView i find it mapped simply as MySessionBean in Global JNDI Namespace. Would like to know why its not getting mapped as com.comp.app.MySessionBean.

Thanks

You have the tag in the wrong place in jboss.xml

<enterprise-beans>
MySessionBean
<jndi-name>whatever</jndi-name>

Completely wrong. :-)

<enterprise-beans>

<ejb-name>MySessionBean</ejb-name>
<jndi-name>whatever</jndi-name>

yes, thats how it is setup in my jboss.xml but it wont recognize the initial part of the name.

Can you post the full deployment descriptors,
it is likely you have something in the wrong place.

<enterprise-bean>

<ejb-name>MyCMPEJB</ejb-name>

<local-jndi-name>com/comp/app/ejb/MyCMPEJB</local-jndi-name>

</enterprise-bean>



And the JNDIView gives ...
Global JNDI Namespace
+- MySessionEJB (proxy: $Proxy32 implements interface com.comp.app.ejb.interfaces.MySessionHome,interface javax.ejb.Handle)

I suppose it should be
+-com
+-comp
+-app
+-ejb
+-MySessionEJB

so that from my jsp i can look it up as ...
com.comp.app.ejb.MySessionEJB instead of just MySessionEJB

thanks

btw, if i have my jndi name as com/comp/app/MySessionBean i have to look it up in my jsp as com/comp/app/MySessionBean and not com.comp.app.MySessionBean

to look it up as com.comp.app.MySessionBean i need to define it as com.comp.app.MySessionBean.

question is, whats the difference and which is the prefered way .. since both seems to work.

[adrian.brock]

The spec recommended name is to bind it at
ejbs/app/MySessionBean
but it is only a convention.

For jsp access, the spec recommendeds
creating an ejb-ref in your web.xml
then use
java:/comp/env/{ejb-ref-name}
ejb-ref is normally something like ejbs/SomeAlias

Have a look at some examples on the web.
