Here are my questions. These are repeated at the end of the post which fully
explains my scenario. Any help would be helpful.
1. Can I bind a persistence unit to JNDI name in a way that it is scoped within
an ear?
2. Or, can I look up the persistence unit name (<persistence-unit
name="MapicsEM">) specified in the persistence.xml from within a session bean
dynamically at runtime?
I have the following deployment of 2 ears simmultaneously running in the same
jboss server.
| app-1.ear
| |-------------my-ejbs-1.1.jar
| |-------------------META-INF/persistence.xml
|
|
| app-2.ear
| |-------------my-ejbs-1.2.jar
| |-------------------META-INF/persistence.xml
|
My persistence.xml in both ejb jars are identical:
| <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
| <persistence>
| <persistence-unit name="MapicsEM">
| <jta-data-source>java:/MapicsDS</jta-data-source>
| <properties>
| <property name="hibernate.hbm2ddl.auto" value="none"/>
| <property name="hibernate.dialect"
value="org.hibernate.dialect.DB2400Dialect" />
| <property name="hibernate.show_sql" value="false" />
| <property name="hibernate.cache.provider_class"
value="org.hibernate.cache.HashtableCacheProvider" />
| <property name="hibernate.cache.use_query_cache" value="true" />
| <property name="hibernate.ejb.cfgfile"
value="mapics-hibernate.cfg.xml"/>
| </properties>
| </persistence-unit>
| <persistence-unit name="MapicsEM-US">
| <jta-data-source>java:/MapicsDS-US</jta-data-source>
| <properties>
| <property name="hibernate.hbm2ddl.auto" value="none"/>
| <property name="hibernate.dialect"
value="org.hibernate.dialect.DB2400Dialect" />
| <property name="hibernate.show_sql" value="false" />
| <property name="hibernate.cache.provider_class"
value="org.hibernate.cache.HashtableCacheProvider" />
| <property name="hibernate.cache.use_query_cache" value="true" />
| <property name="hibernate.ejb.cfgfile"
value="mapics-hibernate.cfg.xml"/>
| </properties>
| </persistence-unit>
| </persistence>
|
The scenario is that app1.ear contains an older version (1.1) of the
persistence archive than the persistence archive in app2.ear which uses version
(1.2). Both versions have the same persistence.xml that refers to persistence
units named MapicsEM and MapicsEM-US. If these were to conflict app2.ear's ejb
classes would get hold of the wrong MapicsEM or MapicsEM-US and the entity
classes would be incompatible with the ejb session bean code.
According to the spec, by specifying my persistence.xml inside my ejb jar it is
scoped to the ejb jar only. This works fine if my EJB injects the entity
manager as follows:
| @PersistenceContext(unitName="MapicsEM")
| private Session session;
|
Our company has multiple similar databases around the globe, for example one in
the UK and one in the US. I could in my EJB session bean inject a persistence
context for each database and use the appropriate session as required, for
example
| @Stateless
| public class MyBean
| {
| @PersistenceContext(unitName="MapicsEM")
| private Session ukSession;
|
| @PersistenceContext(unitName="MapicsEM-US")
| private Session usSession;
|
| }
|
However, if I need to add new databases I will keep needing to add more
injected sessions.
So, to resolve my problem, I would like my ejb to dynamically lookup my
persistence contexts at runtime. I know this is possible with JNDI by
specifying the following line in my persistence.xml and using InitialContext to
look the jndi name up.
| <property name="jboss.entity.manager.jndi.name"
value="java:/MapicsEM"/>
|
However if I implement this in my scenario above, where I deploy 2 ears to
jboss, both ears would try and bind MapicsEM to the same jndi name
java:/MapicsEM and it will fail with NameAlreadyBoundException (or similar).
Therefore my quesions are:
1. Can I bind my persistence unit to JNDI in a way that it is scoped
within the ear?
2. Or, can I look up the persistence unit name (<persistence-unit
name="MapicsEM">) specified in the persistence.xml at runtime that is already
scoped to the ear?
I did read something about ENC in J2EE where EJBs get a java:/comp/env context.
Is it possible to bind my entity manager to this in some way?
