J2EE web-container JNDI configuration

This page lists the JNDI environment entries that must be present in FX Corporate’s J2EE web container context.

FX Corporate’s deployment descriptor (web.xml) contains definitions for the full set of required JNDI entries. The environment values in the deployment descriptor are not suitable for production use, and you must override these values in the web container context as part of deploying FX Corporate.

JNDI environment entries

If any of the JNDI environment entries below are missing from the J2EE web container’s context, then FX Corporate will raise an error.

Example configuration for Tomcat

This section shows Environment entries in an example or an FX Corporate web-application context in Apache Tomcat.

The override attribute of each Environment element is set to false to prevent the value attribute from being overridden by an equivalent environment entry in FX Corporate’s web application deployment descriptor (web.xml). For more information on the override attribute, see The Context Container on the Apache Tomcat website.
