JBoss: Binding values into JNDI in JBoss EAP 6 similar to JNDIBindingServiceMgr

Question

1. How do I bind an arbitrary string to JNDI in JBoss EAP 6? I used to do it through org.jboss.naming.JNDIBindingServiceMgr MBean in previous EAP version.

2. Is there anything similar to org.jboss.naming.JNDIBindingServiceMgr in JBoss EAP 6?

3. We are migrating applications from jboss-5.1.EAP to jboss-eap-6.1. We need to bind some things into JNDI, so applications can look up values of environment variables.

Many thanks.

You can do the following:

standalone.xml:

<subsystem xmlns="urn:jboss:domain:naming:1.2">
  <bindings>
    <simple name="java:global/user" value="newUser"/>                
  </bindings>
</subsystem>

and in spring context:

<bean class="java.util.Properties">
  <constructor-arg>
    <map>
      <entry key="user">
         <jee:jndi-lookup jndi-name="java:global/user" />
      </entry>
    </map>
  </constructor-arg>
</bean>
