The resources *in JBOSS* should be accessed from the ClassLoaders that loaded the objects you are doing it with. If you are looking from a bean then the CL could be the remote CL ones (if you are using http based distribution mode, which still requires you to clean up some parts). Then yes all the files loaded would be from that URL. Putting the properties on that CL is enough. If you are using other stuff than JBoss classes and are just looking for free advice from us, since JINI is free, another way is to use the JINI infrastructure for the naming and buy yourselves the naming of JINI with the multicast capabilities. marc PS: I am ashamed of you, say hello to Philippe |-----Original Message----- |From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] |[mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Sam |Sent: Wednesday, May 16, 2001 4:27 PM |To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] |Cc: Gagan Bhatia |Subject: [JBoss-user] Can jndi.properties be remote? | | |Hello JBoss, | |We are currently investigating whether or not we can abstract also the |access to a remote naming server. Basically, we are looking for a way to |load the JBoss system JNDI InitialContext() through a remote |jndi.properties |type file (or just its information). | |We are planning to have lots of different service from lots of different |machines, and we are planning to keep everything straight through extensive |use of jndi/jnp. This ability would allow lots of JBoss instances to point |to a configurable common name space. | |Is it possible to refer to jndi.properties through URL? If so, |how can this |be configured? Our hopes are to avoid having to set system properties |manually with the correct configuration prior to 'new InitialContext()'. | |Thanks in advance for your comments. | |Sam | |_______________________________________________ |JBoss-user mailing list |[EMAIL PROTECTED] |http://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/jboss-user _______________________________________________ JBoss-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/jboss-user
