Hi,
I need to bind objects using JNDI in my servlet running on apache tomcat
. Since I'm new to the JNDI topic, I did a lot of reading the last few
days and got mixed up a little. The tomcat documentation says that the
initialContext is read-only, but then I found the hint to a solution
in the mailing list archives
(http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/tomcat-users/200409.mbox/[EMAIL
PROTECTED])
I call the initialContext Constructor passing an environment to it and
omit the "java" prefix when creating the subcontext - and it works:
Hashtable env = new Hashtable();
env.put(Context.INITIAL_CONTEXT_FACTORY,"org.apache.naming.java.javaURLContextFactory");
env.put(Context.URL_PKG_PREFIXES,"org.apache.naming");
Context initContext = new InitialContext(env);
Context myContext = initContext.createSubcontext("wtl");
Context jdbcContext = myContext.createSubcontext("jdbc");
String test = new String("Hallo!");
jdbcContext.bind("test", test);
out.println("Object successfully bound!");
String message = (String) jdbcContext.lookup("test");
out.println("Message: " + message);
But why does this work? From what I've read I thought the prefix was
necessary to associate the url with the context factory. I thought of
this prefix as something specifying the protocol like http in web urls,
but then this shouldn't work - and why can I write to the context anyway
using this method?
Does this work with other containers as well or just with tomcat?
Thanks,
Max
