How to lookup the deployed Manager in a Servlet??

[niravshah]

Hello!

Am trying to deploy a servlet based web service on JBoss 5.1.0. Since servlet injection is yet not supported, was wondering how would I lookup the Deployed Manager in my servlet and instantiate my third party web service resources.

When I start the container, web beans is initialized correctly and the Manager is deployed. Is the Manager bound somewhere in the environment? How do I programatically lookup the deployed instance of the manager (its not being injected into the servlet through @Current Manager beanManager)

Cheers!

Got It!

Poked the JVM through a JNDI lookup and found an instance of ManagerImpl.

Strangely enough, although the implementation class specifies a key of : java:app/Manager. I found the instance registered at java:comp/Manager. Guess its a bug!

Cheers!

It isn't a bug actually.
Read the spec (section 5.7.2). It's still an open issue.

Open issue: should it go in java:app or java:comp or both?

It's something I need to talk over with Roberto and Bill (the EE leads). I claim it should go in the new java:app namespace, since it is a fundamentally application global thing. But I don't think they agree with me on this, though I'm not sure why not.
