My application is a web project (keeping war file for the deployment)
and my application uses tomcat. I've an entry in context.xml as follows.
<Resource name="xy/filestorage" auth="Container"
                type="tools.filestorage.FileStorage"
                factory="tools.filestorage.FileStorageFactory"
                storageClassName="tools.filestorage.FileStorageFS"
                basePath="C:/tmp/files" />
        
Later I am accessing xy/filestorage as jndi reference as below.

<jee:jndi-lookup id="fileStorage"
   jndi-name="java:comp/env/xy/filestorage" /> [This entry is used in
applicationContext.xml
, a spring based config file]

I have a restriction to keep same jndi-name as mentioned above since
I need to maintain the war file to compatible to tomcat as well as apache
geronimo

Please provide me a solution for this with a sample code.

You are using proprietary features of tomcat so you'll have to duplicate the effect with proprietary features of geronimo.

I'm not very familiar with the Resource element: I think maybe it ends up creating an object. In Geronimo you'll have to modify or extend that object to be a gbean and configure an instance somewhere accessible to your app such as the geronimo plan for your app.

Then in the part of the geronimo plan where you map jndi stuff such as resource-refs you need an element following this schema fragment:

    <xsd:complexType name="gbean-refType">
        <xsd:complexContent>
            <xsd:extension base="gernaming:abstract-naming-entryType">
                <xsd:sequence>
                    <xsd:element name="ref-name" type="xsd:string">
                        <xsd:annotation>
                            <xsd:documentation>
The element ref-name is used to identify this gbean reference. This name should be unique in a module and will be used by application to as a part of JNDI name for the referenced gbean. The JNDI name used will be "java:/comp/ env/ref-name. It should map to the "ref-name" provided in
                                deployment descriptor.
                            </xsd:documentation>
                        </xsd:annotation>
                    </xsd:element>
<xsd:element name="ref-type" type="xsd:string" minOccurs="0"
                        maxOccurs="unbounded">
                        <xsd:annotation>
                            <xsd:documentation>
The element ref-type is used to specify the interface implemented by GBean being referenced.
                            </xsd:documentation>
                        </xsd:annotation>
                    </xsd:element>
                    <xsd:choice minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="unbounded">
                        <xsd:element name="pattern"
                            type="gernaming:patternType">
                            <xsd:annotation>
                                <xsd:documentation>
The element pattern is used to provide additional selection criterion for gbeans if multiple gbeans with same name exists in dependency modules. The pattern mapped
                                    should result in single gbean.
                                </xsd:documentation>
                            </xsd:annotation>
                        </xsd:element>
                    </xsd:choice>
                </xsd:sequence>
            </xsd:extension>
        </xsd:complexContent>
    </xsd:complexType>

Hope this helps..... this is a bit of a user list question. Ask if you need more hints.

thanks

Hi

        Is there any way I can create custom resource factories/
ObjectFactories in geronimo.?

probably, but knowing exactly what you are trying to achieve would
help a lot.  Geronimo has no persistent jndi so there's usually an
easier or more direct way to get stuff into jndi.
