Jerome, Mahesh, Ken S.,
Currently, we have jndi-properties.jar in glassfish/lib. The jar file
contains a single resource called jndi.properties file which has the
following entry in it:
java.naming.factory.initial=com.sun.enterprise.naming.impl.SerialInitContextFactory
Since this jar file is visible to all J2EE apps, when they do new
InitialContext(), the appropriate initial context factory is used by
naming module (we actually use JDK's naming module). The problem comes
when an application can't see lib/jndi.properties file. e.g., when an
OSGi bundle does new InitialContext(). So, I suggest we do something
like this to avoid dependency on lib dir:
@Service
public class GlassFishNamingBuilder implements
javax.naming.spi.InitialContextFactoryBuilder,
org,glassfish.api.Startup, org.jvnet.hk2.component.PostConstruct {
public InitialContextFactory createInitialContextFactory(Hashtable<?,?>
environment) {
return new com.sun.enterprise.naming.impl.SerialInitContextFactory();
}
public void postConstruct() {
setInitialContextFactoryBuilder(this); // TODO: add appropriate
doPrivileged() here
}
}
I have not tried this yet. What do you think?
Thanks,
Sahoo
