Hello

I am familiar with EJBS and the ENC, whereby Environment entries defined within the deployment descriptor can only be seen by the bean in question.

Thus, when I perfrom the following outside of the EJB (say from a seperate client PC JVM, the environment entry cannot be found.

Context ctx = new InitialContext();
String path = (String) ctx.lookup("java:comp/myentry");


1) How can ?I set up environment entries that can be seen to the "entire application". Where is this done?

Thanks

Paddy

You should be able to lookup using appServer specific JNDI lookup. For example on weblogic, you would do the following

Properties p = new Properties();
p.put(Context.INITIAL_CONTEXT_FACTORY,"weblogic.jndi.WLInitialContextFactory");
p.put(Context.PROVIDER_URL,"t3://localhost:7001");
Context ctx = new InitialContext(p);
ctx.lookup(<your JNDI name>)

where Your JNDI name is defined in weblogic specific deployment descriptor.

Hope this helps
