JNDI interoperability considerations

This section explains considerations to take into account when interoperating with previous releases of WebSphere Application Server and with non-WebSphere Application Server JNDI clients. Also, the way resources from MQSeries must be bound to the name space has changed and is described below.

Interoperability with previous WebSphere Application Server Releases

EJB clients running in an environment other than WebSphere Application Server accessing EJB applications running on WebSphere Application Server V5 servers

When an EJB application running in WebSphere Application Server V5 is accessed by a non-WebSphere Application Server EJB client, the JNDI initial context factory is presumed to be a non-WebSphere Application Server implementation. In this case, the default initial context will be the cell root. If the JNDI service provider being used supports CORBA object URLs, the corbaname format can be used to look up the EJB home. The construction of the stringified name depends on whether the object is installed on a single server or cluster, as shown below.

Binding resources from MQSeries 5.2

In previous releases of WebSphere Application Server, the MQSeries jmsadmin tool could be used bind resources to the name space. When used with a WebSphere Application Server V5 name space, the resource will be bound within a transient partition in the name space and will not persist past the life of the server process. Instead of binding the MQSeries resources with the jmsadmin tool, bind them from the WebSphere Application Server administrative console, under Resources in the left panel on the console
