[Springframework-developer] AbstractJndiLocator time of JNDI lookup

[Colin S. <col...@ex...>]

Currently AbstractJndiLocator does the JNDI lookup right after 
initialization, basically triggered by afterPropertiesSet.

Somebody in the SF forum is having an issue when loading a J2EE ear in 
weblogic, in that the webapp is loaded by WL before the EJBs. Since the 
webapp triggers loading the context, and the EJB invoker interceptors 
(derived from AbstractJndiLocator) are singletons and are created at 
that time, they do the JNDI lookups for the ejb homes at that time, and 
don't see anything because the EJBs are not there yet.

What would probably work is to have the option of lazily doing the JNDI 
lookup. It would stay non-lazy by default, but subclasses, like the ejb 
invokers, would be lazy by default.
