"Lookup failed" error when using a Glassfish Custom Resource

Question

I’m using a Custom Resource of Glassfish to save a property:

There, I’m trying to take this amount like this:

new InitialContext().lookup("javax.faces.PROJECT_STAGE")

but I get the following exception:

Grave: javax.naming.NamingException: Lookup failed for 'javax.faces.PROJECT_STAGE' in SerialContext[myEnv={java.naming.factory.initial=com.sun.enterprise.naming.impl.SerialInitContextFactory, java.naming.factory.state=com.sun.corba.ee.impl.presentation.rmi.JNDIStateFactoryImpl, java.naming.factory.url.pkgs=com.sun.enterprise.naming} [Root exception is javax.naming.NamingException: Unable to lookup resource : javax.faces.PROJECT_STAGE [Root exception is javax.naming.CommunicationException: Communication exception for SerialContext[myEnv={java.naming.factory.initial=com.sun.enterprise.naming.impl.SerialInitContextFactory, java.naming.factory.state=com.sun.corba.ee.impl.presentation.rmi.JNDIStateFactoryImpl, java.naming.factory.url.pkgs=com.sun.enterprise.naming} [Root exception is java.lang.IllegalAccessException: value cannot be null]]]

What I’m doing wrong?

Answer 1

In the object properties remove the property stage and enter a property value. (The only property for simple types).

Within the topic, the convention for jndi names is slightly different from the convention of package names, by default we use / instead of points .:

Creation of the resource:

asadmin create-custom-resource --restype=java.lang.String --factoryclass=org.glassfish.resources.custom.factory.PrimitivesAndStringFactory --property value="Development" javax/faces/stage

And on the client side:

InitialContext ic = new InitialContext();
String stage = (String) ic.lookup("javax/faces/stage");

Or even (within your EJB):

@Resource(lookup="javax/faces/stage")
private String stage;
