While looking into https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBAS-9261 I realized that we don't currently have support for non java: namespace JNDI bindings. The example application in that JIRA has a reference to a resource (a EJB in this case via ejb-ref and ejb-local-ref) and that reference points to a lookup name "Blah" (which is outside of java: namespace). Pre-AS7 days we allowed EJBs and other resources to be bound outside of java: namespace and then allow ejb-ref to point to that binding. Currently, in AS7 which is backed by Services for jndi bindings, I don't see how to deal with that since we don't have Services for non java: namespaces. Looking at this http://community.jboss.org/wiki/JavaEEImplementationTechnicalRequirements wiki I don't see it being covered. How do we plan to support such deployments, in AS7? Or more specifically, will binding outside of java: be backed by MSC services?
