global application variables ?

[riki1512]

Hi,

I have some env-entries defined in the ejb-jar.xml. If I'm right, i can lookup them only from the corresponding bean. Where can i define such variables to access them from other objects running in the same application without using properties files ?

The env-entries are available in
java:comp/env
for the bean/web-app that defines them.

Anything accessed on the same thread
inside an ejb or web invocation also
has access to this naming context.

Regards,
Adrian

Ok, now it works, but in my book and nowhere else stands that the code for looking up env-entries

Context initContext = new InitialContext ();
initContext.lookup....

works only in the Bean.

Outside the Bean i've got to use the

InitialContext(env)...

constructor with the naming-service definitions to lookup env-entries, like a client calling an ejb-object.
For you that is normal, but i as a bloody newbie am copying only that what i see.

Why can I call the env-entry from a bean without handing over a hashtable with environment-definitions to the InitialContext ?

Thanks
