    JBoss/JNDI Question.

    shailesh_dangi

      Guys:

      I have a little trouble understanding how the objects are bound and discovered with JNDI in Jboss. Do I specify the JNDI Binding in Jboss.xml file? Does Jboss follow the standard J2EE Naming Conventions to find objects relative to java:comp/env.? Even though I have specified
      <jndi-name>interest/Interest</jndi-name> the jboss.xml file why is the object (proxy)
      bound against “Interest” name under the root context?

      More over I am not able to find resources if I use java:comp/env/jdbc/OraclePoolDS to get Connection objects. This happens no matter what I user “jdbc/OraclePoolDS” or just “OraclePoolDS” or even “java:/jdbc/OracleDBPool”. The built in “java:/DefaultDS” also doesn’t work. Could some one spend some time explaining how to do the bindings?


      Secondly, as part of Bean-Container contract, the container provider is mandated to implement enterprise bean's home and component interfaces. Where does JBoss generate and store these implementations?.

      I also have a test JNDI program (see below) that looks up jndi.properties from the classpath.
      I am printing the env variables and the all the objects bound. There is nothing bound under
      “java:”. Weird.

      Please help !!!

          I'm no expert on JNDI and I share much of your confusion. But I have gleaned that anything under the "java" namespace is only accessible to objects within the container, not client programs. So Beans inside your container should be able to look up objects under "java". These name bindings are not apparent to client programs run in processes outside the container.
