JBoss JNDI and persistence?

Does JBoss JNDI really persist objects stored in it? As part of a quick experiment I ran JBoss, ran a JSP (which calls an EJB that stores a string in JNDI), quit JBoss, and then restarted JBoss.

I observed the JNDI repository using JNDI explorer right after I stored my string. It was there. Then I observed the JNDI repository after restarting JBoss. It was gone!

Shouldn't info stored in JNDI remain there even after a shutdown of JBoss?

My code follows at the end of this message.

Thanks,

try

Context c = new InitialContext();
Context c2 = c.createSubcontext( "test" );
c2.bind( "who", new String( "Mike" ) );
}
catch( Exception e )

}

No the contents of JNDI are cleared after restarting JBoss.

For what reason do you think that the items stored in JNDI should be persisted?

Or alternatively can you reference the area in the J2EE / JNDI specifications that say items stored in JNDI should be persisted after restarts?

JNDI just isn't meant to provide persistence.

Use an entity bean to hold and persist the value as described in my reply to purdym just submitted.
