I have a custom subsystem extension I'm deploying in Wildfly 8.2. I hit a problem when
trying to bind an object to JNDI.
In my AbstractAddStepHandler.performRuntime() (the Subsystem Add handler), I want to bind
an object to JNDI, like this:
InitialContext initialContext = new InitialContext();
WritableServiceBasedNamingStore.pushOwner(context.getServiceTarget());
try {
initialContext.bind(jndiName, jndiObject); // <--- this sometimes throws
exception you see below
} finally {
WritableServiceBasedNamingStore.popOwner();
}
where "context" is the first parameter passed to the performRuntime() method,
and "jndiName" is "java:global/example/demo/myname" and
"jndiObject" is just a java.lang.String, like "hello".
The use of WritableServiceBasedNamingStore is recommended on the wiki:
https://docs.jboss.org/author/display/WFLY8/JNDI+Reference - though I have no idea what it
is doing :)
The problem is - each time I start my wildfly server, sometimes it works, other times it
doesn't. It is as if there is a race condition somewhere on startup of the wildfly
server. If it works, my JNDI object is bound properly; when it fails, this bombs with the
exception I show below.
Anyone know what the problem is and how to fix?
