<My first post after a month of lurking>
Vlada,
Are you sure? I don't think you are correct. Can't you access variables set
in the DD through the entity/sessionContext?
I use a method (below) to retrieve the home object for other beans in my
system named in the deployment descriptor like this:
protected Object getHome(String name) throws RemoteException {
Object ret;
try {
String jndiName = ejbContext.getEnvironment().getProperty(name);
System.out.println("Looking up:"+jndiName);
ret = getJndiContext().lookup(jndiName);
} catch(javax.naming.NamingException ne) {
throw new RemoteException("Could not lookup "+name,ne);
}
return ret;
}
Similarly to get a named table (for sequences in this case) I use
protected String getSequenceName() {
if (verbose)
System.out.println("--->getSequenceName()");
return (String) ejbProperties.get("sequenceName");
}
Where ejbProperties is defined like this:
public void setEntityContext(EntityContext ctx)
throws RemoteException {
if (verbose)
System.out.println("setEntityContext (" + id() + ")");
this.ejbContext = ctx;
this.ejbProperties = ctx.getEnvironment();
}
In all of my entity beans (using an adapter as outlined in Richard M-H's
excellent book) :-)
Hope that helps.
Rick
