how to retrieve and store the deployment file name at runtime in JBOSS AS 7

[chandrup]

Hi

Is there any way to store the EAR/WAR file name which is kept in the deployment folder and is used by the standalone configuration file.

I am right now hardcoding  in my workspace to resolve jndi services in JBoss AS 7. Is there any way where we can store this file name at runtime.

Thanks,

Chandra

I'm not sure if I get your requirements.

If you use the CLI to deploy the application you can set the application names as you want.

In a client you need to know the 'application URL' for http or rmi.

I have migrated an EAR application from Jboss 3 to JBoss 7. For JNDI lookups I am using the following syntax in JBoss AS 7.1 (as referred in https://docs.jboss.org/author/display/AS71/EJB+invocations+from+a+remote+client+using+JNDI)

ejb:<app-name>/<module-name>/<distinct-name>/<bean-name>!<fully-qualified-classname-of-the-remote-interface>

where ->

app-name : This is the name of the .ear (without the .ear suffix)

module-name : This is the name of the .jar (without the .jar suffix)

distinct-name : This is a JBoss AS7 specific name which can be optionally assigned to the deployments that are deployed on the server

bean-name : This is the name of the bean for which you are doing the lookup

fully-qualified-classname-of-the-remote-interface : This is the fully qualified class name of the interface for which you are doing the lookup.

As of now I am hardcoding the app-name,module-name etc.

But instead I need to use the app-name which ever supplied at run time (as like you mentioned in CLI) in the code dynamically instead of hardcoidng.

Is there anyway I can do this, It seems I can make use of property file to retrieve from environment variable or javax.naming.Context as referred in some some forums.

I tried but no luck.

Please advise.

Thanks,

Chandru
