From now on lookups will only be done for entries which do not use ManagedReferenceFactory as a mean to return the lookup value, and for these special entries the Naming module will now return safe default values, Object.class for list operations, and the String "?" as the value printed in JNDI View.</div><div><br></div><div>Now, along with these behaviour changes, 3 new extensions of the ManagedReferenceFactory interface are introduced:</div><div><br></div><div><ul class="MailOutline"><li><a href="https://github.com/jbossas/jboss-as/blob/master/naming/src/main/java/org/jboss/as/naming/ContextListManagedReferenceFactory.java">org.jboss.as.naming.ContextListManagedReferenceFactory</a> - a ManagedReferenceFactory, which provides a proper type for Context#list operations results</li></ul><div><br></div><ul class="MailOutline"><li><a href="https://github.com/jbossas/jboss-as/blob/master/naming/src/main/java/org/jboss/as/naming/JndiViewManagedReferenceFactory.java">org.jboss.as.naming.JndiViewManagedReferenceFactory</a> - a ManagedReferenceFactory, which provides a proper (and does it safely) String view of the binding's value</li></ul><div><br></div><ul class="MailOutline"><li><a href="https://github.com/jbossas/jboss-as/blob/master/naming/src/main/java/org/jboss/as/naming/ContextListAndJndiViewManagedReferenceFactory.java">org.jboss.as.naming.ContextListAndJndiViewManagedReferenceFactory</a> - a combination of the two previous ones</li></ul><div><br></div></div><div><div>By implementing these, instead of the raw ManagedReferenceFactory, AS7 Naming module will provide more detailed and proper results, so if you are responsible for some factory, or perhaps start seeing Object.class and/or "?" from bindings you are responsible, please consider the upgrade to the new extensions.</div></div><div><br></div><div>I already upgraded the main ones, see <a href="https://github.com/jbossas/jboss-as/pull/3137/files">https://github.com/jbossas/jboss-as/pull/3137/files</a></div><br><div apple-content-edited="true">
