Hello, I sent mail to the users list a short while ago about the
*HandleImpls not using the correct InitialContext. I spent a little time
looking into how to fix this and I ran into a small problem... how to get
the JNDI provider url from a default InitialContext (ie 'new
InitialContext()`).
It seems that I can get the factory name, as well as the url pkg prefixes
from 'getEnviroment()', but still no provider url.
I am wondering if there is a generic was to get this from JNDI, or do I have
to hard code this to be specific to jnp when this value is not set in the
context's env or in the system properties?
Also, I am curious if you ever see anyone wanting to plug in another JNDI
impl?
Assuming that jnp is going to be used in 90% (or more) of the cases, then if
the url is not provided, I could ask the naming service (not really how to
do that at the moment) what it should be... or perhaps there is an easier
way to get this from jnp?
Any ideas on where I should be looking in jnp or jndi for this? I spent a
little time looking over jnp (not very complex), but perhaps I am just
missing something.
Do you think it would be too unreasonable to require a provider url in
system properties? Would this mess up the local naming server? Or would it
be possible to modify jnp to return the provider url in a default
InitialContext?
