Re: Overriding in openejb-jar.xml

[David Jencks]

It's a pretty obvious and basic functionality that we should support,  
but at the moment I don't think we do support it.

:-(
A Jira or patch would be welcome.

thanks

Hi,

is it possible to override the value of an <env-entry/> in ejb- 
jar.xml from within the openejb-jar.xml?

I was able to google an ancient schema from 24 Aug 2003 which says:

File: incubator-geronimo/modules/core/src/schema/geronimo-ejb-jar.xsd

[...]
<xsd:element name="env-entry">
  <xsd:annotation>
    <xsd:documentation>
      Configuration for an environment entry.  Normally an env-entry
      is fully configured by the assembler in the standard ejb-jar.xml
      deployment descriptor.  However, the deployer can specify a
      value here if there was no value specified in ejb-jar.xml, or
      if the deployer wants to override the value specified there.
    </xsd:documentation>
  </xsd:annotation>
  <xsd:complexType>
    <xsd:sequence>
      <xsd:element ref="env-entry-name" minOccurs="1" maxOccurs="1"/>
      <xsd:element ref="env-entry-value" minOccurs="1" maxOccurs="1"/>
    </xsd:sequence>
  </xsd:complexType>
</xsd:element>
[...]

But unfortunately I couldn't find a similar element in the versions  
2.0 or 2.1 of the openejb-jar schemas.

Thanks, Janko
