I just found a rather interesting approch used by weblogic 9, application scoped resources.. http://e-docs.bea.com/wls/docs90/jdbc_admin/packagedjdbc.html#1055301 http://e-docs.bea.com/wls/docs90/jms_admin/deployjms.html#1061792 Basically, resources can be defined as part of the application and isolated from other applications. All resources will be part of the local namespace of the application. Lovely! :-) Does JBoss have anything similar to this?
