How to change JNDI context name binded for EAR application i

[zman12345]

Hi there,

When I deploy an EAR application (eg: my-ear-app.ear) in JBoss4.2, by default it automatically creates a JNDI context name "my-ear-app" in Global Namespace, and binds all the EJB under it. For example:

Global JNDI Namespace
 +- my-ear-app (class: org.jnp.interfaces.NamingContext)
 | +- OrderProcessorImpl (class: org.jnp.interfaces.NamingContext)
 | | +- local (proxy: $Proxy65 implements interface deng.myearapp.OrderProcessor,interface org.jboss.ejb3.JBossProxy)

My question is, does JBoss4.2 allows me to change this "my-ear-app" name to something else without renaming my EAR filename? Is there a jboss config settings I can use?

Much thanks,

Thanks for the link jaikiran.

I still have two questions:

1) Is there way to change this without modifying the EJB source code with Annotation?

2) If I were to use the @LocalBinding annotation, is there way to let JBoss4.2 still auto naming part of the JNDI name? For example like: @LocalBinding(jndiBinding="custom/") ???

I found that in a jar, we can have META-INF/jboss.xml to use local-jndi-name element to have same affect as the @LocalBinding on the bean. The question still remain is how can I can change this without touching the EJB jar file. The only way I see is to unpack the EJB jar, and add in this file. Sounds very invasive. Is there another way?

Thanks,

The JNDI names are configured per bean, so there's no other way to do this.
