Description

Our company uses Jboss in production and OpenEjb for unit testing. When we started adaptation of OpenEJb in our environment we had two main problems:

• OpenEjb and Jboss use different JNDI names for beans
• Jboss cmp beans can't be deployed with OpenEjb

After some investigation we decided to write JbossCompatibleInitialContextFactory which extends LocalInitialContextFactory and:

• supports @LocalBinding, @RemoteBinding, @RemoteBindings jboss ejb3 annotations
• translates jbosscmp-jdbc.xml to OpenEjb cmp beans format in runtime
• parses jboss.xml to find JNDI names for beans
• adds compatibility with Jboss JNDI names for datasources (like: "java:/PostgresDS", "java:jcr/local")

I'm attaching implementation of JbossCompatibleInitialContextFactory as well as tests of the factory for ejb2 and ejb3 beans.
We would be pleasure if our work will be helpful for you.
