Custom variables can be stored via JNDI over the naming subsystem in JBoss. Following example were executed for Java EE 6 and JBoss EAP 6.4.
display help to add operation
/subsystem=naming/binding=*:read-operation-description(name=add)
add JNDI variable
/subsystem=naming/binding=java\:global\/metrics\/configuration\/directory:add(binding-type=simple, value="/etc/metrics", type="java.lang.String")
This JNDI variable can be used for resource injection.
usage in Java
@Resource(lookup="java:global/metrics/configuration/directory", type=String.class)
private String configDir;
read JNDI variable
/subsystem=naming/binding=java\:global\/metrics\/configuration\/directory:read-resource
remove JNDI variable
/subsystem=naming/binding=java\:global\/metrics\/configuration\/directory:remove
add variable and check
[standalone@localhost:9999 /] /subsystem=naming/binding=java\:global\/metrics\/configuration\/directory:add(binding-type
=simple, value="/etc/metrics", type="java.lang.String")
{"outcome" => "success"}
[standalone@localhost:9999 /] /subsystem=naming/binding=java\:global\/metrics\/configuration\/directory:read-resource
{
"outcome" => "success",
"result" => {
"binding-type" => "simple",
"cache" => undefined,
"class" => undefined,
"environment" => undefined,
"lookup" => undefined,
"module" => undefined,
"type" => "java.lang.String",
"value" => "/etc/metrics"
}
