[infinispan-dev] [ISPN-153] Binding Cache/CacheManager to JNDI

[Galder Zamarreno]

Hi,

Re: https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/ISPN-153

Apart from testing itself, does it make sense to include the ability of 
binding to JNDI, using org.jboss.util.naming.NonSerializableFactory to 
to bind a non-serializable object into a local JNDI context, within 
Infinispan itself?

So, I'm thinking that we could have a <jndi name="xyz"/> configuration 
option both at the global level (for Cache Manager) and at the Cache 
level. So,

- if <jndi/> was present in the global section, we'd bind CacheManager 
to java:CacheManager

- if <jndi name="xyz"/> was present in the global section, we'd bind 
CacheManager to java:xyz

- if <jndi/> was present in the cache section, we'd bind Cache to 
java:<name-of-the-cache>

- if <jndi name="xyz"/> was present in the cache section, we'd bind 
Cache to java:xyz

This should, in theory, ease JNDI binding in AS and other apps servers 
without the need of extra code in those environments.

Thoughts? Brian, would you find this useful?

Cheers,
