EJB @Service Attribute/Property setting

[jlowcock]

I'm trying to create a JBoss service which is a member of a virtual cluster. Where more than one virtual cluster can be deployed on the same JBoss server e.g. Development and Acceptance.
I want to unique name my Service with a combination of the Cluster and Member name, something like development.myservice and acceptance.myservice.
Hence I would like to use the same class, and configure this using attributes and/or properties similar in concept to the older service.xml.
I cannot find any examples of a configurable service, can anyone assist in this area?

I think I understand your question - if I'm off base please let me know.

You can use the same Service class and deploy it twice with different service names two ways:

Use annotations to deploy the first and jboss.xml to deploy the second

@Service(objectName = "default:service=development")
...

<service>
 <ejb-name>ServiceName</ejb-name>
 <ejb-class>com.acme.ServiceBean</ejb-class>
 <object-name>default:service=acceptance</objectname>
 ...
<service>

OR you can use jboss.xml exclusively with no annotations:

<service>
 <ejb-name>ServiceName</ejb-name>
 <ejb-class>com.acme.ServiceBean</ejb-class>
 <object-name>default:service=development</objectname>
 ...
<service>
<service>
 <ejb-name>ServiceName</ejb-name>
 <ejb-class>com.acme.ServiceBean</ejb-class>
 <object-name>default:service=acceptance</objectname>
 ...
<service>

This is close, it shows how to deploy the same class as two separately identified services which is half the problem. The issue I'm facing is how do I access the details of ejb-name and service/cluster name within the Service code. I need this information to form the primary key of an EJB entity class to load configuration from the database.
I suppose that there is a way to access the information with the xml file, I'll go away and have a look at this as well.
I was looking for something along the lines of the env-entry within the deployment descriptor.
