Client JNDI support for AS7
---------------------------

                 Key: AS7-1709
                 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/AS7-1709
             Project: Application Server 7
          Issue Type: Task
          Components: Naming
            Reporter: Carlo de Wolf
            Assignee: John Bailey
            Priority: Critical
             Fix For: 7.1.0.CR1


The following use case are applicable both to a remote/client VM and within AS7 itself.

The configuration of the initial context is not specified in here, it'll be a resultant of this task and outlined in some documentation.

Note that any {code}InitialContext ctx = new InitialContext();{code} might need {code}InitialContext ctx = new InitialContext(props);{code} where the actual contents of {{props}} is currently unspecified.

h3. Calling AS7
It *must* be possible for a client to call AS7 via the following code:
{code}
InitialContext ctx = new InitialContext();
MyRemote bean = ctx.lookup("java:myserver1/myapp/myjar/myBean#MyRemote");
{code}
h3. Calling different AS7 instances
It *should* be possible for a client to call two different AS7 instances via the following code:
{code}
InitialContext ctx = new InitialContext();
MyRemote bean = ctx.lookup("java:myserver1/myapp/myJar/OtherBean#MyRemote");
OtherRemote bean2 = ctx.lookup("java:myserver2/otherapp/otherjar/OtherBean2#OtherRemote");
{code}
Whether security and transaction propagation between the servers is available or possible is left beyond scope.
h3. Calling different type/version of servers
It *may* be possible for a client to call two different EAP versions via the following code:
{code}
InitialContext ctx = new InitialContext();
MyRemote bean = ctx.lookup("java:myEAP6/myapp/myJar/OtherBean#MyRemote");
OtherRemote bean2 = ctx.lookup("java:myEAP5/otherapp/otherjar/OtherBean2#OtherRemote");
{code}
The last one would require a context to be associated with a certain module to load the proper client classes. See also http://wolf-71.blogspot.com/2010/02/et-phone-home.html

Whether security and transaction propagation between the servers is available or possible is left beyond scope. Also the propagation of the current established tx/sec context might not be available.
