[Biojava-dev] [Off Topic] Getting JNDI resources from a Java application

[Michael McCormick]

Hi Mark,

You can also achieve this by using standard J2EE/JEE conventions  
instead of creating a dependency on Spring. We have several external  
applications that take advantage of reusable services deployed on our  
JBoss instance.

This page details some standard J2EE/JEE patterns and includes code  
samples as well. From your description, you will want to take a look  
at the ServiceLocator, SessionFacade, and BusinessDelegate patterns.  
The JBoss forums and wiki are a good resource as well.

Let me know if you have any further questions.

Hi -

I have a application running in JBoss with a web front end but I would
like to make a standalone application with a GUI that runs in another  
JVM.

How can that application get access to resources in the application
servers JNDI registry (notably the DataSource). I'm guessing I need  
RMI??
Does anyone know of a blueprint or best practice for this sort of thing?
