[jboss-jira] [JBoss JIRA] Updated: (AS7-1709) Client JNDI support for AS7

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.

Also the propagation of the current established tx/sec context might not be available.
