4.7.3. GlobalNamingResources

The GlobalNamingResources element defines the global JNDI resources for the Server.
The global JNDI resources are listed in the server's global JNDI resource context. The resources defined in this element are not visible in the per-web-application contexts unless you explicitly link them with ___ResourceLink___ elements.
You can configure named values that will be visible to all web applications as environment entry resources in the Environment element nested in the GlobalNamingResources element. 
<GlobalNamingResources ...>
...
<Environment name="maxExemptions" value="10"
     type="java.lang.Integer" override="false"/>
...
</GlobalNamingResources>
The Environment element supports the following attributes:
  • description: optional human-readable description of the element
  • name: name of the environment entry to be created relative to the java:comp/env context
  • override: Set this to false if you do not want an ___env-entry___ for the same environment entry name, found in the web application deployment descriptor, to override the value specified here. By default, overrides are allowed.
  • type: The fully qualified Java class name expected by the web application for this environment entry. Must be one of the legal values for ___env-entry-type____ in the web application deployment descriptor: java.lang.Boolean, java.lang.Byte, java.lang.Character, java.lang.Double, java.lang.Float, java.lang.Integer, java.lang.Long, java.lang.Short, or java.lang.String.
  • value: The parameter value that will be presented to the application when requested from the JNDI context. This value must be convertible to the Java type defined by the type attribute.
