OpenEJB.xml and a custom javax.naming.spi.ObjectFactory

[exabrial <ex...@gmail.com>]

Hey guys,

One of the features I'm missing from GlassFish is the ability to bind an
ObjectFactory into JNDI. We have a few of these written and need to put them
into our instance. I'm also hoping to write a brand new one that could be
used to create JNDI links (see previous thread in mailing list).

Here's a simple example of a custom ObjectFactory: 
http://grepcode.com/file/repo1.maven.org/maven2/org.glassfish.connectors/connectors-internal-api/3.0/org/glassfish/resources/custom/factory/PrimitivesAndStringFactory.java

Is there a way to put an ObjectFactory like that into conf/openejb.xml? I've
read all the documentation on Resources and didn't find anything. I found
some old mails on the openejb.iusers that say if you're in Tomcat, you can
put it into context.xml, but I was curious if there was a way to do this on
OpenEJB standalone server.

Thanks guys,
-Jonathan

Do you have an example of how that is configured?

I suspect that's not your only ObjectFactory, but note, you can put Primitives and Strings into <env-entry> elements and get them into JNDI in a standard way.  The standard technique also supports java.lang.Class and any Enum type.

As Romain notes, there might be something that can be done in the openejb/tomee.xml jar already using <Resource> to produce things which can then be consumed via @Resource.

you can write a custom service-jar.xml to be able to define default values
(normal usage).

On trunk i think you can skip this part and define all properties inline
(without default values) adding the property "IgnoreDefaultValues"

Ok... that's fine. Would I need to write something like this?
http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/openejb/branches/old-website/src/doc/connector_service.xml
(sorry for the XML link, but I can't find that page anywhere else)

think not out of the box, currently providing a custom resource will
probably be the closer of the need.

I've done this successfully with context.xml before, however, I was curious
if this was available on the standalone OpenEjb 4.0.0 server

Hi,

did you try using tomcat context.xml?
