Hello René! I agree with you that the most common use of app server specific jndi-names are probably for resource references and resource environment references but I can see scenarios where we could have use for app server specific jndi-names for ejb-beans:
Assume that development and unit-tests are done in an Eclipse, JBoss, Ant, XDoclet environment and integration test and production is on WebSphere v5.x "Network Deployment Edition" and that the applications are spread over a number of nodes and app servers controlled by the WebSphere "Deployment Manager". In this case will the jndi-names used for ejb-beans in the WebSphere environment be very "special" due to the so called "federated namespace". The jndi-names will for example contain the name of the node where the ejb-bean is deployed. So if we want to use XDoclet to create IBM binding files in this scenario for the integration test environment we need to be able to specify this type of "federated namespace"-names as jndi-names but at the same time not use them for JBoss. (I would suggest that the jndi-names are stored as Ant-properties to avoid having them hardcoded in the source files but that another topic). In this case it would be very convenient to be able to specify websphere specific jndi-names for ejb-beans. Regards, Magnus.
