[ajug-members] App Server Context from POJO?

[Dan Marchant]

Ok here is an idea (probably not the best but heh its free advice):

Create a weblogic.application.ApplicationLifecycleListener and in the
postStart method do the following (double check since I am doing it
off the top of my head), set the listener in the config.xml, probably
could do this in a weblogic.xml in your application as well check the
weblogic config guide:

Context context = new InitialContext();
context.bind("/application/Context", event.getApplicationContext());


in your runnable you could do the following:

Context context = new InitialContext();
AppContext context = (AppContext)context.lookup("/application/Context");

Ideally you want to abstract the context from your application but
this is the basic approach.
