Optional resource refs
----------------------
Key: GERONIMO-556
URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GERONIMO-556
Project: Apache Geronimo
Type: New Feature
Components: deployment
Reporter: David Jencks
Assigned to: David Jencks
Right now, all resource refs (and other jndi entries) specified in a spec-dd
must be resolved during deployment or building the configuration will fail.
It's possible that some resource refs are optional and that the app can
function to some extent with them missing.
We could support this by including an optional "optional" marker in the
geronimo plan. The simplest implementation would attempt to resolve the ref to
an object name present during deployment, and use it if the name is found, and
bind nothing if the name is not found. Then the app would get a naming
exception at runtime if it tried to look up the missing resource.
We should decide what should happen when the entire target object name is
supplied. We could use it to bind a reference, or only bind a reference if the
gbean is present at deploy-time.
