Installing legacy WAR with WAR protocol: question about JNDI

[fiddlerpianist]

I'm attempting to install a legacy WAR file into Fuse ESB using the WAR protocol. Code within the WAR accesses resources (specifically, DataSources) via JNDI resource-refs defined in its web.xml (example: "java:comp/env/jdbc/myds").

Should I map to "java:comp" logical address to an "osgi:service" address? If so, where is this mapping defined? I haven't been any to find any documentation on how to do that. Or should the definition be embedded somewhere else (e.g., in etc/jetty.xml as a Jetty Resource)?

I have the the 'jndi' feature (i.e., Aries JNDI bundles) installed.

Hi,

Yeah, you should.

Take a look at related discussion[1]

Let me clarify.

I would like to keep the logical name that the WAR is currently mapped to (the value "java:comp/env/jdbc/myds") in the WAR. That name is defined in as a resource-ref in the web.xml.

In a Java EE server, the server itself is responsible for taking this logical name and mapping it to a global JNDI location. Is there an equivalent logical-to-physical mapping for Fuse ESB that would allow me to keep the "java:comp" address in the WAR?

Hi,

No, I don't think so.

You need publish your DataSource as OSGi service yourself then you can use OSGi style jndi name to refer it.
