Common Environment Variable Help

[joshlam]

Hi,

I have two or three MDBs that needs to share a resource which needs a common environment variable.

What do I need to do so that I don't have to repeat the <env-entry> for that variable for each <message-driven> section?

I tried to have the MDBs derived from a common base and have the <env-entry> only in the base MDB's <message-driven> section but I got an error complaining that the name was not found when I tried to retrieve it in each of the base MDB. Does inheritence of <env-entry> not work?

Thanks.

<env-entry> is per bean there is no way to share.

Thanks for the reply.

Is there a 'common' xml file that I can put these configuration data into so that I can access it via JNDI?

XML lets you declare entities and then use them in a file. You have to declare them in a different file.

Example:

<!DOCTYPE doc [
<!ENTITY blah SYSTEM "resouce:file.ent">
]>


&blah;
