How to register a Datasource in GlobalJNDI Namespace?

[Kristian Köhler]

Hi

i use a custom deployment mechanism to install my application into Geronimo 
2.0.1. I have no special deployment plan for that kind of application. One 
component out of my application wants to access the DataSource registered 
within Geronimo Application server. The component tries to lookup the db via a 
JNDI lookup call.

My idea is to register the DB within the Global JNDI Namespace and that access 
it from within my application. I configured the pool via deployment plan and 
registered a GBeanBinding GBean for the registration in the Global Namespace.

My problem is: What's the name of the DBPool to access/ to link to with the 
GBeanBinding? Is this a passable way to do this?

Here is the plan:

<connector 
xmlns="http://geronimo.apache.org/xml/ns/j2ee/connector-${geronimoSchemaVersion}";>

    <resourceadapter>
        <outbound-resourceadapter>
            <connection-definition>
                
<connectionfactory-interface>javax.sql.DataSource</connectionfactory-interface>
                <connectiondefinition-instance>
                 <name>Datasource</name>
                  ...
                </connectiondefinition-instance>
            </connection-definition>
        </outbound-resourceadapter>
    </resourceadapter>

    <gbean name="MyDatabaseBinding" 
class="org.apache.geronimo.gjndi.binding.GBeanBinding">
        <attribute name="name">Database</attribute>
        <attribute name="abstractNameQuery">?name=Datasource</attribute>
        <reference name="Context">
            <name>JavaContext</name>
        </reference>
    </gbean>
