    Custom JNDI Names

    suikast42

      Hi @ All,

       

      I try in JBOSS 7.1.0.CR1b to customize the jndi names. Beacause, I have services in diffrenent jars and I want to have an easy way to lookup all my service in one namespace.

       

      In jboss 6.1 I can use jboss.xml or the annations below:

      @LocalBinding

      @LocalHomeBinding

      @RemoteBinding

      @RemoteHomeBinding

       

      It seems that the Jboss.xml will be ignored by the server and the annotions above aren't present in AS 7.1.

       

       

      Thanks in advance.

          AS7 doesn't allow binding EJBs to custom JNDI names and it's not planned for 7.1. Having said that I think you should perhaps be able to take advantage of the naming subsystem in JBoss AS7 which allows you to bind custom entries to JNDI. You could probably use the lookup element in that subsystem to create a custom JNDI name which points to the EJB3.1 spec mandated JNDI name. Take a look at the jboss-as-naming_1_1.xsd https://github.com/jbossas/jboss-as/blob/master/build/src/main/resources/docs/schema/jboss-as-naming_1_1.xsd

            This is no longer supported. Please see AS7-3015 for more information

              He guy thanks you for reply,

               

              so I'm agree wuth the situation that custom JNDI names are not longer support since EJB 3.1 ENC exists. But it was a nice to have feature. Beacause, when I have services in more modules and I can only do a jndi lookuo instead of dependecy injecection then it was helpful. Otherwise I must always know the module name of my service.

                You could always explicitly specify <module-name> in ejb-jar.xml. That way the consuming side always knows where to look.

                  I know. But what is about multimodule ?? Can I set the same name for more modules ?

                    So I testes the behaviour of the module naming. IT seems that <module-name> has only an effect for the namespace java:app.

                      You can use the @EJB annotation to specify additional JNDI names for a bean. The bean below is bound to "java:global/MyBean" as well as the standard portable JNDI names.

                       

                      package com.example;
                        
                      import javax.ejb.EJB;
                      import javax.ejb.Stateless;
                      
                      @Stateless
                      @EJB(name = "java:global/MyBean", beanInterface = MyBean.class)
                      public class MyBean
                      {
                      }
                      

                       

                      I've tested this on 7.0.0.Final, 7.0.1.Final, 7.0.2.Final and 7.1.0.CR1b.

                        That comes near to that what I wan't thanks. But I think that has no efect for remote lookup, I'm right ?

                          Haven't tried remote lookup, but I don't see why it shouldn't, just put down the remote interface under beanInterface. I would expect something like the following to work:


                          package com.example;
                            
                          import javax.ejb.EJB;
                          import javax.ejb.Stateless;
                          
                          
                          @Stateless
                          @EJB(name = "java:global/MyBean", beanInterface = MyRemote.class)
                          public class MyBean implements MyRemote
                          {
                          }
                          

                          package com.example;
                          
                          
                          import javax.ejb.Remote;
                          
                          
                          
                          
                          @Remote
                          
                          public interface MyRemote
                          {
                          }

                            If you look https://docs.jboss.org/author/display/AS71/EJB+invocations+from+a+remote+client+using+JNDI you'll see that the remote invocation in AS 7.1 is completely reeimplemented. I'll test this this week. But I think that won't work.

                              Yes. From a remote client, you can only use ejb: namespaces.

                                I've added such @EJB annotation to my Bean, using current upstream AS7.1.

                                I don't see any change in log (show the declared name) during deployment and not able to lookup the bean by this name.

                                  It works for me. https://github.com/jbossas/jboss-as/pull/1518

                                   

                                  There is nothing in the log though (nor do I expect it), but it might be nice to have that. It would mean that every @EJB is logged.
