How does Pramati Naming Service achieve Contextual Lookup?
Contextual lookup is achieved through an interaction with ‘implicit context manager’. The implicit context manager allows various components of Server to set a context and retrieve it to the executing thread. This context contains:
- Application context
- Module context
- Component context
- Security context
- Transaction context
The EJB and Web containers set the first three contexts that are used by Pramati Naming Service to translate the lookup name. When an application is deployed, the logical names declared by each component are linked to actual JNDI names.
In a contextual lookup, the link is resolved and the actual JNDI binding is returned.
