Class ContextFactory

  • All Implemented Interfaces:
    ObjectFactory

    public class ContextFactory
    extends Object
    implements ObjectFactory
    ContextFactory

    This is an object factory that produces a jndi naming context based on a classloader.

    It is used for the java:comp context.

    This object factory is bound at java:comp. When a lookup arrives for java:comp, this object factory is invoked and will return a context specific to the caller's environment (so producing the java:comp/env specific to a webapp).

    The context selected is based on classloaders. First we try looking at the thread context classloader if it is set, and walk its hierarchy, creating a context if none is found. If the thread context classloader is not set, then we use the classloader associated with the current Context.

    If there is no current context, or no classloader, we return null.

      • getObjectInstance

        public Object getObjectInstance​(Object obj,
                                        Name name,
                                        Context nameCtx,
                                        Hashtable env)
                                 throws Exception
        Find or create a context which pertains to a classloader.

        If the thread context classloader is set, we try to find an already-created naming context for it. If one does not exist, we walk its classloader hierarchy until one is found, or we run out of parent classloaders. In the latter case, we will create a new naming context associated with the original thread context classloader.

        If the thread context classloader is not set, we obtain the classloader from the current jetty Context, and look for an already-created naming context.

        If there is no current jetty Context, or it has no associated classloader, we return null.

        loader - the classloader for the naming context
        env - the jndi env for the entry
        name - the name of the entry
        parentCtx - the parent context of the entry
        Returns:
        the newly created naming context
        Throws:
        Exception - if unable to create a new naming context

        public Context getContextForClassLoader​(ClassLoader loader)
        Find the naming Context for the given classloader
        Parameters:
        loader - the classloader for the context
        Returns:
        the context for the classloader
      • associateContext

        public static Context associateContext​(Context ctx)
        Associate the given Context with the current thread. disassociate method should be called to reset the context.
        Parameters:
        ctx - the context to associate to the current thread.
        Returns:
        the previous context associated on the thread (can be null)
