Re: Apache-licensed fscontext.jar and providerutil.jar?

[David Jencks]

Is this part of a test to see if the JDOHelper jndi lookup works?  If so, you can definitely use our ReadOnlyContext, although you will have to "bind" differently.  I think we have a read-write context also, but it hasn't been used much lately.  Also I think it is pretty easy to write an even simpler jndi context that would work just for a test.  If we know a bit more about what you need we can give you better suggestions ;-) thanks david jencks On Jan 15, 2006, at 3:46 PM, Craig L Russell wrote: Hi, Please reply directly as I am not on this alias. In the Apache JDO project we download the fscontext.jar and providerutil.jar from Sun which is a PITA because of the licensing.  Is there an equivalent functionality available in Geronimo that can be used? I downloaded the naming and naming-builder jars but I can't tell at first glance if they have the goods. What we use the jars for is to bind an instance to a naming context and then look it up:     protected PersistenceManagerFactory getPMF(String name) {         Context context = null;         try {             //We need a JNDI context which contains a PMF instance.             //For this reason, we create a JNDI context,             //create a PMF instance and bind that to the context.             context = new InitialContext();             if (name.equals(validPropertiesFile)) {                 PersistenceManagerFactory pmf =                     JDOHelper.getPersistenceManagerFactory(new File(name));                 verifyProperties(pmf, loadProperties(validPropertiesFile));                 context.bind(jndiName, pmf);             }             return JDOHelper.getPersistenceManagerFactory(jndiName, context);         } catch (NamingException e) {             throw new JDOFatalException("Caught NamingException trying to bind " +                     e.getMessage(), e);         } finally {             if (context != null) {                 try {                     context.unbind(jndiName);                     context.close();                 } catch (NamingException e) {                     fail("Caught NamingException trying to unbind or close." +                             e.getMessage());                     // stay quiet                 }             }         }     } Thanks for any help, Craig Craig Russell Architect, Sun Java Enterprise System http://java.sun.com/products/jdo 408 276-5638 mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] P.S.
