Specify classpath for JNDI Resource (ObjectFactory) on WAS/Portal

2006-11-30, 1:35 am

Hi,
I need to install a Data access module (Apache Jackrabbit) on Portal V6, as a JNDI resource so that it can be shared by multiple applications.

Jackrabbit depends on javax.jcr package. But Portal 6 already have IBM's version of JCR on the class path.

Since Jackrabbit is not installed as an application, I can't create a 'shared library' and associate it with the JNDI resource at application level; Neither can I set the 'shared library' at "server level" because IBM's JCR classes are already there.

Is there a way to specify the JCR lookup path for a JNDI resource on WAS/Portal 6?

Thanks
