Objects are replicated using the DBMS Service. Local objects are created using the “+/…” concept. By default, the objects are global.

Objects are replicated using messaging. By default, the objects are local. There is no special concept for local/global objects.

Solution:

For global bindings, use InitialReplicatingContextFactoryImpl instead of InitialContextFactoryImpl or set ("Replicate", "true") in the environment (properties) when you construct initial contexts.

Change reason:

Using special syntax is not convenient; the local binding is default for performance reasons.

You can look up from the root ignoring the “domain = true” property in the initial context environment. Therefore, looking up enterprise beans, works without using java:comp/env/… in front (as the names bound in the root are the same as the references in the application’s context).

The structure was changed. Lookup from the root by applications is not possible.

Solution:

Remove the hard-coded lookups for objects in the root. Create references to the application’s context.

Change reason:

Unexpected behavior when implicitly trying to look up from the root.
