Getting CacheManager via JNDI

[a.novarini]

Hello all,

I'm working on JBoss 5.1, so I don't have Infinispan installed nor I can change the default jbosscache.

I need to retrieve the CacheManager for storing object from my code, and I tried to get the CacheManager using JNDI.

In the configuration file of the cache, inside the .SAR archive, I saw that the CacheManager is bound to the name java:CacheManager

I tried, from an external client to lookup the cache pointing to that name (java:CacheManager), but the code raised an Exception telling me that than name was not bound.

Is the CacheManager an object I can use from an external application? Or this is something usable only "inside" the application server?

Do I need to configure it in some way to enable the jndi?

Thanks in advance,

Ale

Ok, the short answer to my question is: NO, you can't get the cache manager from outside the container.

Thanks
