Hello, I want to bring this question again.
Why do we change NamingEntry type from REFERENCE to ENTRY? I think that each lookup must return a new instance. But in this case, it returns the same bound object instance. Let's says that we have a Servlet MyServlet{ ........ private @Resource(name="MyResource") myResource; ....... public blabla(){ new InitialContext().lookup("myResource"); } } myResource has injected by the container before @PostConstruct is called. After that I would like to get a new resource object in blabla() method. It returns the same injected resource instance instead of creating a new resource. I think that it must return a different instance from "myResource". JNDI tree of the Servlet contains "MyResource/ResourceRef" binding. Therefore each lookup to "MyResource" must return a "ResourceRef". Becuase it is a reference, context must call NamingManager.getObjectInstance again to create a new instance. If this is a bug, I will open an issue.

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 --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@tomcat.apache.org
