Martin Isheim [https://community.jboss.org/people/martinLuene] created the discussion "JBoss7.1 JNDI subcontext handling failure" To view the discussion, visit: https://community.jboss.org/message/741168#741168 -------------------------------------------------------------- Using JBoss7.1.2-NightlyBuild2012-04-30 - due to another fix - i observe strange behaviour within JNDI: First destrying a subcontext seems not work, the subcontext is still available afterwards. The second is, that after an unbind, the subcontext, which contained the object, is also gone. Instead i expect the subcontext to be still available, although it is empty now. Below are small test procedures for demonstration, at the indicated lines the first throws the RuntimeException, the second a javax.naming.NameNotFoundException. I execute these procedures within a SLSB on the application server. Is there a specific way needed to set up a naming context on server side, i just use "new InitialContext()"? Thanks, Martin     public void testDestroySubcontext() throws NamingException {         // Preparation         Context ctx = new InitialContext();         ctx.createSubcontext("root");         Context sub1 = ctx.createSubcontext("root/sub1");         sub1.rebind("NAME", "VALUE");         assertEquals("Lookup object", "VALUE", ctx.lookup("root/sub1/NAME"));         assertEquals("Lookup subcontext", "VALUE", sub1.lookup("NAME"));         // test destroySubcontext         ctx.destroySubcontext("root/sub1");         try {             Context sub1Lookup = (Context) ctx.lookup("root/sub1");                     + sub1Lookup.getNameInNamespace());         } catch (NameNotFoundException nnfe) {             // expected, but not thrown.         }     }     public void testUnbind() throws NamingException {         // Preparation         Context ctx = new InitialContext();         ctx.createSubcontext("root");         Context sub1 = ctx.createSubcontext("root/sub1");         sub1.rebind("NAME", "VALUE");         assertEquals("Lookup object", "VALUE", ctx.lookup("root/sub1/NAME"));         assertEquals("Lookup subcontext", "VALUE", sub1.lookup("NAME"));         Context lookupCtx = (Context) ctx.lookup("root/sub1");         assertEquals("Lookup before unbind", "root/sub1", lookupCtx.getNameInNamespace());         // test unbind         ctx.unbind("root/sub1/NAME");         try {             Object item = ctx.lookup("root/sub1/NAME");             throw new RuntimeException("Test failed, unbound object still found" + item);         } catch (NameNotFoundException nnfe) {             // expected, unbound object no longer available.         }         // sub context shall be still available, as stated in java doc for javax.naming.Context.unbind().         assertEquals("Lookup after unbin", "root/sub1", lookupAgainCtx.getNameInNamespace());     } Caused by: javax.naming.NameNotFoundException: root/sub1 -- service jboss.naming.context.java.root.sub1     at org.jboss.as.naming.ServiceBasedNamingStore.lookup(ServiceBasedNamingStore.java:97)     at org.jboss.as.naming.NamingContext.lookup(NamingContext.java:178)     at org.jboss.as.naming.InitialContext.lookup(InitialContext.java:119)     at org.jboss.as.naming.NamingContext.lookup(NamingContext.java:214)     at javax.naming.InitialContext.lookup(InitialContext.java:392)     at com.jcoffee.base.global.naming.test.TestJNDIUtilitiesImpl.testUnbind(TestJNDIUtilitiesImpl.java:235) -------------------------------------------------------------- Reply to this message by going to Community [https://community.jboss.org/message/741168#741168] Start a new discussion in JNDI and Naming at Community [https://community.jboss.org/choose-container!input.jspa?contentType=1&...]
