Hashtable Bean in microcontainer XML configuration

[jmesnil]

Hi,

I've several POJOs deployed from the microcontainer which requires a Hashtable in their constructor (JNDI properties fwiw).
I looked in the doc but I've not found a way to declare a Bean which is a Hashtable with all the required properties.
So I use a map in all the POJO's constructor:

 <bean name="SourceDestinationFactory" class="org.jboss.messaging.jms.bridge.impl.JNDIDestinationFactory">
 <constructor>
 <parameter>
 <map class="java.util.Hashtable" keyClass="java.lang.String" valueClass="java.lang.String">
 <entry>
 <key>java.naming.factory.initial</key>
 <value>org.jnp.interfaces.NamingContextFactory</value>
 </entry>
 <entry>
 <key>java.naming.provider.url</key>
 <value>jnp://localhost:1099</value>
 </entry>
 <entry>
 <key>java.naming.factory.url.pkgs</key>
 <value>org.jboss.naming:org.jnp.interfaces"</value>
 </entry>
 </map>
 </parameter>
 <parameter>/queue/source</parameter>
 </constructor>
 </bean>

What I'd like is to define a "JNDI" bean and inject it directly in my POJOs instead:

 <bean name="SourceDestinationFactory" class="org.jboss.messaging.jms.bridge.impl.JNDIDestinationFactory">
 <constructor>
 <parameter>
 <inject bean="JNDI" />
 </parameter>
 <parameter>/queue/source</parameter>
 </constructor>
 </bean>

where JNDI bean is a Hashtable where I filled in the JNDI properties

Is it possible to do that? Where can I find an example/doc about that?

thanks!

Sure it is.

Hashtable is just the name of the class for what MC knows.
OK, the trick is still to get those entries in. ;-)

<bean name="JNDI" class="java.util.Hashtable">
 <install method="put">
 <parameter>java.naming.provider.url</parameter>
 <parameter>jnp://localhost:1099</parameter>
 </install>
</bean>

or

<bean name="JNDI" class="java.util.Hashtable">
 <constructor class="java.util.Map">
 <map class="java.util.Hashtable" keyClass="java.lang.String" valueClass="java.lang.String">
 <entry> <key>java.naming.factory.initial</key> <value>org.jnp.interfaces.NamingContextFactory</value>
 </entry>
 <entry>
 <key>java.naming.provider.url</key>
 <value>jnp://localhost:1099</value>
 </entry>
 <entry>
 <key>java.naming.factory.url.pkgs</key>
 <value>org.jboss.naming:org.jnp.interfaces"</value>
 </entry>
 </map>
 </constructor>
</bean>

There is no such (exact) example.
Unless you expect us to cover every bean possible. :-)

Isn't that too much too ask? ;)

Thansk for the answer Ales, I did not know about the install element but I should have thought about using the Hashtable's constructor to populate my properties.
