Re: [jboss-as7-dev] Non java: JNDI bindings and MSC services in AS7

Bindings outside of "java:" will not be backed my MSC services as we

I examined the example app and didn't find the lookup reference you're
referring to, but wouldn't it be a relative lookup regardless? Unless
they specified a URL scheme in the first segment that is?
First we (used to) allow
EJBs to be bound to JBoss specific (non java:)
jndi name (Keks and KeksLocal in this example) via the jboss.xml of the
ejb jar:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE jboss PUBLIC
"-//JBoss//DTD JBOSS 5.0//EN"
"http://www.jboss.org/j2ee/dtd/jboss_5_0.dtd">
<jboss>
<enterprise-beans>
<session>
<ejb-name>GeometricModelBean</ejb-name>
<jndi-name>Keks</jndi-name>
<local-jndi-name>KeksLocal</local-jndi-name>
</session>
</enterprise-beans>
</jboss>
Then we allow a ejb-ref/ejb-local-ref of the bean to point to this jndi
name. In this case the ejb-ref is in the web.xml. The jboss-web.xml of
the war allows for specifying the lookup name:
<jboss-web>
<ejb-ref>
<ejb-ref-name>ejb/GeometricModel</ejb-ref-name>
<jndi-name>Keks</jndi-name>
</ejb-ref>
....
<!-- EJB Local References -->
<ejb-local-ref>
<ejb-ref-name>ejb/GeometricModelLocal</ejb-ref-name>
<local-jndi-name>KeksLocal</local-jndi-name>
</ejb-local-ref>
</jboss-web>
That jndi-name/local-jndi-name gets translated to lookup name of the
ejb-ref/ejb-local-ref.
