Logging JNDI names of beans at INFO level

[jaikiran]

Currently, when a EJB3 bean is deployed, the Default local/remote business interface JNDI names are logged at DEBUG level and by default don't appear on the CONSOLE.

This is what i see on the console:

INFO [JBossASKernel] Created KernelDeployment for: myapp_ejb3.jar
INFO [JBossASKernel] installing bean: jboss.j2ee:ear=ZEJB3Persistence.ear,jar=myapp_ejb3.jar,name=UserManagerBean,
INFO [JBossASKernel] with dependencies:
INFO [JBossASKernel] and demands:
INFO [JBossASKernel] persistence.unit:unitName=ZEJB3Persistence.ear/myapp_ejb3.jar#EJB3Persistence
INFO [JBossASKernel] jboss.ejb:service=EJBTimerService
INFO [JBossASKernel] and supplies:
INFO [JBossASKernel] Class:org.myapp.ejb.UserManagerRemote
INFO [JBossASKernel] jndi:ZEJB3Persistence/UserManagerBean/local-org.myapp.ejb.UserManagerLocal
INFO [JBossASKernel] Class:org.myapp.ejb.UserManagerLocal
INFO [JBossASKernel] jndi:ZEJB3Persistence/UserManagerBean/local
INFO [JBossASKernel] jndi:RemoteUserManagerBean
INFO [JBossASKernel] jndi:ZEJB3Persistence/UserManagerBean/remote-org.myapp.ejb.UserManagerRemote
INFO [JBossASKernel] jndi:testMappedNameJai
INFO [JBossASKernel] Added bean(jboss.j2ee:ear=ZEJB3Persistence.ear,jar=myapp_ejb3.jar,name=UserManagerBean,service

.....
INFO [EJBContainer] STARTED EJB: org.myapp.ejb.impl.UserManagerBean ejbName: UserManagerBean
.....

And in the server.log, we have this useful information at DEBUG level:

DEBUG [org.jboss.ejb3.proxy.jndiregistrar.JndiSessionRegistrarBase] Default Remote Business View for EJB UserManagerBean to be bound into JNDI at "RemoteUserManagerBean"
DEBUG [org.jboss.ejb3.proxy.jndiregistrar.JndiSessionRegistrarBase] Default Local Business View for EJB UserManagerBean to be bound into JNDI at "LocalUserManagerBean"

I have seen some posts in the User forum where the users found it hard to notice these messages in the server.log because of the other logs contained in that file.

Is it OK to change the logging level of these JNDI binding message for the default business interfaces to INFO level?

Agreed, and I've been thinking about this for a bit too.

One feature enhancement I'd been punting around my head was for the JNDI Registrar to keep track of all bindings that were done, then output them in one legible logging message like:

INFO [org.jboss.ejb3.proxy.jndiregistrar.JndiSessionRegistrarBase]

 EJB "MySessionEJB" has bindings in Global JNDI at:

 MyEAR/MySessionEJB/local (Implements A, B, C) [Business Local]
 MyEAR/MySessionEJB/remote (Implements X, Y, Z) [Business Remote]
 MyEAR/MySessionEJB/home (Implements Q) [EJB 2.x Remote Home]

i.e. One centralized logging statement with some spacing to make it stand out.

Overkill or helpful? Comments appreciated. Might be worthwhile asking for input on the user forum as well.

I don't think its an overkill. Definitely helpful. Even now we do log these messages (but at a lower level). The centralized logging statement does look like a good idea. The user will get all the jndi names at one single place.

Yes, we might get some more inputs.

Andrew,

I have created a feature enhancement request https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/EJBTHREE-1507 for tracking this. Right now, its Unassigned (by default). If it's ok, i will assign it to myself and start work on it once i am done with EJBTHREE-1401.

I was in here anyway today, so I made an example patch and attached it to the JIRA. Feel free to steal the issue away from me.

I've also put out a feeler for community input at http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4181001

With no objections this has been committed and resolved.
