assume, I have two (very similar) web applications (let's call them A and B) which uses EJB as backend. The question is, how I can achieve, that the application A stores its data to a database SchemaA, while the application B stores its data to database SchemaB, while both applications use the same EJB module (storing the data from A and B is done via the EJB)? I want to avoid running (developing) two EJB modules with the same functionality. So is it somehow possible to achieve this just with some kind of configuration or is there any other way how to solve this? Note that the web applications will run on one server, while the EJB on a different one.

Hi Martin,

No way to do this as far as I know. Even assuming you did something very low level like wrapped the factory that creates the DataSources so that the DataSource you create depends on some kind of thread state which you set on in coming requests from webapp A or B, it still would quickly fall apart due to things like connection pooling.

Is there some kind of overhead to deploying the application twice that you'd like to avoid? Note with the right descriptors you wouldn't need to modify the code at all. Might be some features we can add there to eliminate any concerns.
