[jira] Commented: (GERONIMO-956) Remove "global JNDI space"

["Jeremy Boynes (JIRA)" <de...@geronimo.apache.org>]

    [ http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GERONIMO-956?page=comments#action_12320671 ] 

Jeremy Boynes commented on GERONIMO-956:
----------------------------------------

There are quite a few applications out there that access the global JNDI directly to lookup resources. This is non-standard behaviour but for them we can either force them to change or provide a context they can use - this was meant to support them.

This is probalby less essential now that we have a directory integrated, but on the other hand it probably is a lot lighter in weight.

> Geronimo has a "global" JNDI space under "geronimo:".  However:
>  - it's only used by connectors, not EJBs
>  - it's not visible outside the current VM
> It doesn't seem like this is really benefitting anyone.  The effort necessary to make it behave like JNDI behaves in other popular app servers seems to be significant.  After talking on IRC, David J and I are soliciting feedback on removing this feature entirely for now.
> Note: this is different than the JNDI space that OpenEJB uses to expose EJBs to remote clients, which takes EJBs only and is obviously accessible to remote clients.  We are not proposing to change that at this time.
