Hi, I've fot a couple of questions regarding Tomcat's JNDI implementation.
In the JNDI resources howto of Tomcat 5.5 (http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-5.5-doc/jndi-resources-howto.html) at paragraph 'Adding Custom Resource Factories', just under '1. Write A Resource Factory Class' one can read this: ...Every time your web application calls lookup() on a context entry that is bound to this factory, the getObjectInstance() method is called... I tried with Tomcat 5.5.17 and it seems that this statement is wrong: getObjectInstance() only get called only at the first lookup() call then it seems the result is cached somewhere by Tomcat to serve future request. I also noticed that the 2nd parameter of getObjectInstance() method (Name jndiNameObject) seems to loose the path information. Let me explain: I've got a web app with this context.xml file located in the META-INF folder: <Context> <Environment name="config/someKey" value="someValue" type="java.lang.String"/> </Context> The string get properly bound to the ENC so you can look it up with ctx.lookup("java:comp/env/config/someKey"); Unfortunately, in the getObjectInstance() method the jndiNameObject parameter only appears to be 'someKey'. It seems there is no way to find back that it was bound as 'config/someKey'. Is that on purpose ? Did I miss something ? Another thing: is there a good reason why bindings configured in the server.xml's GlobalNamingResources tag have to be linked by web app contexts ? Why isn't there a way to access this content using some global URL, like "/config/someKey" ? Last but not least, I found the answer to Remy's question: http://www.nabble.com/Re%3A-UserTransaction%2C-JOTM-and-Tomcat-5.5.x-p2803063.html Just do this to hijack the java: ENC: System.setProperty("java.naming.factory.initial", "the.carol.factory"); Thanks in advance, Ludovic -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/JNDI-Resource-Factories-questions-t1826017.html#a4980937 Sent from the Tomcat - User forum at Nabble.com. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To start a new topic, e-mail: users@tomcat.apache.org To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
