EJB component environment (ENC) is not read only ------------------------------------------------ Key: JBAS-1490 URL: http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JBAS-1490 Project: JBoss Application Server Issue Type: Bug Security Level: Public(Everyone can see) Components: EJB2 Affects Versions: JBossAS-3.2.6 Final Environment: Windows XP Reporter: Tim Fox Assigned To: Scott M Stark Fix For: JBossAS-4.2.1.CR1 The component JNDI environment for a Stateless session bean does not appear to be read-only. I have a SLSB running in 3.2.6. It attempts to modify it's ENC (java:comp/env environment) and succeeds. I.e. the following succeeds: InitialContext ic = new InitialContext(); Context envCtx = (Context)new InitialContext().lookup("java:comp/env"); envCtx.bind("foo", "bar"); log.debug("Worked!!"); Also bind stuff into the context works. I haven't tried with other types of EJB. According to the EJB 2.0 spec (Sec. 20.2.4) an enterprise beans's environment should be read-only.
