Class JndiObjectLocator

All Implemented Interfaces:
InitializingBean
Direct Known Subclasses:
JndiObjectFactoryBean, JndiObjectTargetSource

public abstract class JndiObjectLocator extends JndiLocatorSupport implements InitializingBean
Convenient superclass for JNDI-based service locators, providing configurable lookup of a specific JNDI resource.

Exposes a "jndiName" property. This may or may not include the "java:comp/env/" prefix expected by Jakarta EE applications when accessing a locally mapped (Environmental Naming Context) resource. If it doesn't, the "java:comp/env/" prefix will be prepended if the "resourceRef" property is true (the default is false) and no other scheme (for example, "java:") is given.

Subclasses may invoke the lookup() method whenever it is appropriate. Some classes might do this on initialization, while others might do it on demand. The latter strategy is more flexible in that it allows for initialization of the locator before the JNDI object is available.
