Historically we've allowed lots of crazy binding setups, from unqualified names to non-java: names to java:/ names. In EE 6 we have these nice namespaces now, and we've previously talked about adding a java:jboss namespace as well. So I'd like to propose the following naming rules: - "java:/foo/bar" is transformed to "java:jboss/user/foo/bar" - "foo/bar" is transformed to "java:jboss/user/foo/bar" - "java:foo/bar" is invalid This will allow people to continue using their odd legacy names but still provide predictable semantics.
