how is jndi used in ofbiz?

how is jndi used in ofbiz?

is it just used for storing the GeronimoTransactionManager?

if running in an j2ee server, does ofbiz use the servers jndi registry?

what dependencies does the ofbiz jndi naming service have?  for
example, does it need rmi infrastructure?

i'm a jndi newbie, so my questions are basic

many thanks,

chris

Hi BJ,

I was specifically looking at 9.04, GeronimoContainer - it is binding
the GeronimoTransactionManager to jndi:

            InitialContext ic = new InitialContext();
            ic.rebind("java:comp/UserTransaction", new
GeronimoTransactionManager());

But in the GeronimoTransactionFactory it looks like JNDI is bypassed:

   static {
        // creates an instance of Geronimo transaction context, etc
with a local transaction factory which is not bound to a registry
        try {
            transactionLog = new UnrecoverableLog();
            geronimoTransactionManager = new
GeronimoTransactionManager(defaultTransactionTimeoutSeconds,
(XidFactory)new XidFactoryImpl(), transactionLog);
        } catch (XAException e) {
            Debug.logError(e, "Error initializing Geronimo transaction
manager: " + e.toString(), module);
        }
    }

So is the JNDI binding not used?

Hi Chris,

    This link could help you to understand OFBiz Setup & JNDI Configuration.
