Create JndiObjectFactory to allow JNDI object acquisition during configuration
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: SHIRO-217
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SHIRO-217
Project: Shiro
Issue Type: New Feature
Components: Configuration
Reporter: Les Hazlewood
Fix For: 1.2.0
During configuration, it would be nice to acquire objects from JNDI and use the
returned objects as properties on other configured objects (e.g. in INI config).
There is a JndiRealmFactory that already supports looking up entire Realms from
JNDI, but it is more likely that lower-level objects would be acquired from
JNDI instead (e.g. DataSources) and the Realms would be configured in INI and
use those objects.
This would be pretty easy to support: there is already a Shiro Factory
interface and an AbstractFactory class. A new JndiObjectFactory subclass could
be created that uses a JndiLocator to look up and acquire objects.
The ReflectionBuilder implementation would need to be changed to handle
encountering Factory objects - if an object in configuration specifies a
Factory as a property, the builder needs to call the factory's getInstance
method instead of using the Factory directly. I think this could be done in
the ReflectionBuilder#resolveReference method without touching any other code.
