I have a JNDI variable ("Foo") defined from the websphere console.  In the c
ode I want to always get the latest console setting.

The JNDI documentation indicates that setting Context.AUTHORITATIVE to "true
" should by pass all caching.

My code is:
<code>
Hashtable env = new Hashtable();
env.put(Context.AUTHORITATIVE, "true");
javax.naming.InitialContext ctx = new javax.naming.InitialContext(env);
value = (String) ctx.lookup("Foo");
</code>

It picks up the inital setting of Foo, but never picks up any changes.

Any idea how this is supposed to work??

Thanks,
-- Frank

Hi Frank,

This looks like a caching problem. Whenever I modify a JNDI binding (which i
s not very often) I always restart WAS to refresh the caches. This is a rath
er crude solution, but it works for me. Try looking for JNDI and caching, th
ere must be a more civilize
d solution that is less annoying for your users.

Hope this helps,
Huub
