[ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/WFLY-11858?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin... ] Laird Nelson edited comment on WFLY-11858 at 3/20/19 1:34 PM: -------------------------------------------------------------- Yes, the scope of any given {{JNDIBean}} should continue to be {{Singleton}}. But the {{AbstractBean<InitialContext>}} subclass instance's scope should be {{Dependent}}, I think. My guess (I don't really know, as I'm not up on the sophisticated classloading involved in .ear files here) is that any solution that allows the {{InitialContext}} to be created at the point that the {{lookup}} call is made will work. So it would seem that in general it is not OK to have a single instance of {{InitialContext}} floating around, i.e. I believe that the scope of the {{AbstractBean<InitialContext>}} subclass should be {{Dependent}}, not {{Singleton}}. I've updated this in my other (approved so far) [PR|https://github.com/jbosstm/narayana/pull/1403]. Making the {{JNDIBean}} "use directly the initial context with {{new InitialContext().lookup(this.name)}}" is exactly the same as placing the {{AbstractBean<InitialContext>}} in {{Dependent}} scope. I personally prefer going through the bean here as it allows user-supplied {{InitialContext}} bean implementations. was (Author: ljnelson): My guess (I don't really know, as I'm not up on the sophisticated classloading involved in .ear files here) is that any solution that allows the {{InitialContext}} to be created at the point that the {{lookup}} call is made will work.
