forcing jndi names for ejb

[mperelma]

because my app supports multiple major app servers, i need to force jboss 7.1.x to accept specific jndi names for each of my statefull and stateless ejbs. could you please let me know how i should go about accomplishing this? i have a jboss.xml bearing each ejb's jndi name under <jndi-name>. and while this worked like a charm in the past jboss version, it is giving me fits in 7.1.1. please help me! thanks!

You need to use a jboss-ejb3.xml file in JBoss 7.x. See the docs/schema directory.

I think you can also use mapped-name in a 3.1 version of ejb-jar.xml.

Stephen,

i replaced my jboss.xml with jboss-ejb3.xml. in addition to that, i am now starting my jboss 7.1.1 instance using full profile. however, the jndi name specified under <jndi-name> still does not take effect. here are the deployment descriptors i am using:

ejb-jar.xml:

<ejb-jar xmlns = "http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee"

         version = "3.1"

         xmlns:xsi = "http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"

         xsi:schemaLocation = "http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee/ejb-jar_3_1.xsd">

      <enterprise-beans>

         <session id="SessionCore-1">

            <ejb-name>MyEJB</ejb-name>

            <home>com.foo.blah.MyEJBHome</home>

            <remote>com.foo.blah.MyEJB</remote>

            <ejb-class>com.foo.blah.MyEJBBean</ejb-class>

            <session-type>Stateful</session-type>

            <transaction-type>Bean</transaction-type>

         </session>

     </enterprise-bean>

</ejb-jar>

jboss-ejb3.xml:

<jboss:ejb-jar xmlns:jboss="http://www.jboss.com/xml/ns/javaee"

                  xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee"

                  xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"

                  xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.jboss.com/xml/ns/javaee http://www.jboss.org/j2ee/schema/jboss-ejb3-2_0.xsd

                     http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee/ejb-jar_3_1.xsdof

                  version="3.1"

                  impl-version="2.0">

   <enterprise-beans>

      <session>

         <ejb-name>MyEJB</ejb-name>

         <jndi-name>MyEJB_JNDI_NAME</jndi-name>

      </session>

   </enterprise-beans>

</jboss:ejb-jar>

is there an official statement as to whether or not jboss 7.1.1 supports custom jndi names for ejbs?

[xin.zhang.song]

AS7.1.1 does not support the custom JNDI. if you want to do this, you can use the naming subsystem to custom JNDI, for example:

<subsystem xmlns="urn:jboss:domain:naming:1.1">

            <bindings>

                <lookup name="java:/bv/bv_framework/ejb/GenseqHome" lookup="java:jboss/exported/bvf/bv_com_ejb/GenseqHome!com.broadvision.genseq.ejb.GenseqHome"/>

             </bindings>

</subsystem>

does it not support custom jndi naming in order to comply with j2ee 6 spec?
