Better way to register a URLStreamHandlerService for JNDI from Tomcat 8

[Thusitha Thilina Dayaratne <th...@wso2.com>]

Hi,

At the moment, I'm registering a URLStreamHandleerService for JNDI in OSGi
BundleContext as follows.

private static final String JNDI_PROTOCOL = "jndi";

....

Hashtable<String, String[]> properties = new Hashtable<String, String[]>();
properties.put(URLConstants.URL_HANDLER_PROTOCOL, new String[] {
JNDI_PROTOCOL });
bundleContext.registerService(URLStreamHandlerService.class.getName(),
new JNDIURLStreamHandlerService(), properties);

...

class JNDIURLStreamHandlerService extends AbstractURLStreamHandlerService {

   URLStreamHandler urlStreamHandler =
TomcatURLStreamHandlerFactory.getInstance().createURLStreamHandler(JNDI_PROTOCOL);

   @Override public URLConnection openConnection(URL url) throws IOException {
      return new URL(url, "", urlStreamHandler).openConnection();
   }
}


Is there a better approach to do this with Tomcat 8.0.20?

Thanks
Best Regards
Thusitha
