Class ContextFactory

java.lang.Object
org.eclipse.jetty.jndi.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.
