Hello folks, In NamingContext implementation, if "lookup()" is a Reference, current implementation caches the result of the NamingManager # getObjectInstance via following statements and changes the type of the entry. In the following lookups, same object is returned. I would like to write ObjectFactory that returns new instance for each time lookup is called on its reference. But with the current implementation, it is not possible to write such an object factory because of aferomentioned sitaution. I think that entry must be stay as Reference instead of changing entry type.
WDYT? NamingContext class: protected Object lookup(Name name, boolean resolveLinks) throws NamingException { ..... } else if (entry.type == NamingEntry.REFERENCE) { try { Object obj = NamingManager.getObjectInstance (entry.value, name, this, env); if (obj != null) { entry.value = obj; entry.type = NamingEntry.ENTRY; ---> CHANGES type of the naming entry } return obj; } catch (NamingException e) { throw e; } catch (Exception e) { log.warn(sm.getString ("namingContext.failResolvingReference"), e); throw new NamingException(e.getMessage()); } } ........... } --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@tomcat.apache.org
