How do I configure a binding set without having it injected in JBoss EAP 5.x

Solution Verified - Updated -

Environment

JBoss Enterprise Application Platform (EAP) 5.1.2

Issue

  • Is there a way to configure the binding set so that it only injects the bean for the binding set the running instance has selected? We need a a global template which ties applications to specific binding sets and are looking to have hundreds of instances installed.
  • Is there a best practise guide for configuring the Service Binding Manager (SBM) in EAP 5?

Resolution

1) Edit $JBOSS_HOME/server/$PROFILE/conf/bindingservice.beans/META-INF/bindings-jboss-beans.xml and add

   .. .. ..
   <bean name="ServiceBindingManager" class="org.jboss.services.binding.ServiceBindingManager">
    .. .. ..
    .. .. ..
   </bean>

    <bean name="CustomOffsetMap"  class="java.util.Hashtable">
      <constructor>
        <map class="java.util.Hashtable" keyClass="java.lang.String" valueClass="java.lang.String">

          <entry>
              <key>ports-default</key>
               <value>0</value>
          </entry>
          <entry>
              <key>ports-training</key>
               <value>100</value>
          </entry>
          <entry>
              <key>ports-qa</key>
              <value>200</value>
          </entry>
         </map>
        </constructor>
     </bean>
    .. .. ..
    .. .. ..
   <bean name="ServiceBindingManagementObject" 
         class="org.jboss.services.binding.managed.ServiceBindingManagementObject">

      <constructor>
         <!-- The name of the set of bindings to use for this server -->
         <parameter>${jboss.service.binding.set:ports-default}</parameter>

         <!--  The binding sets -->
         <parameter>
            <set>
               <inject bean="PortsDefaultBindings"/>
               <inject bean="SystemPropertiesConfigured"/>
            </set>
         </parameter>

         <!-- Base binding metadata that is used to create bindings for each set -->
         <parameter><inject bean="StandardBindings"/></parameter>

      </constructor>
   </bean>

  <bean name="SystemPropertiesConfigured"  class="org.jboss.services.binding.impl.ServiceBindingSet">
        <constructor>
         <parameter>${jboss.service.binding.set:ports-default}</parameter>
         <parameter>${jboss.bind.address}</parameter>
         <parameter>
            <value-factory bean="CustomOffsetMap" method="get">
                 <parameter>${jboss.service.binding.set:ports-default}</parameter>
            </value-factory>
          </parameter>
          <parameter><null/></parameter>
       </constructor>
   </bean>
   <!-- The ports-default bindings are obtained by taking the base bindings and adding 0 to each port value  -->
   <bean name="PortsDefaultBindings"  class="org.jboss.services.binding.impl.ServiceBindingSet">
      <constructor>
         <!--  The name of the set -->
         <parameter>ports-default</parameter>
         <!-- Default host name -->
         <parameter>${jboss.bind.address}</parameter>
         <!-- The port offset -->
         <parameter>0</parameter>
         <!-- Set of bindings to which the "offset by X" approach can't be applied -->
         <parameter><null/></parameter>
      </constructor>
   </bean> 
   .. .. ..
   .. .. ..

2) Start the jboss instance with selecting the preferred binding set e.g

./run.sh -c QA-Profile -Djboss.service.binding.set=ports-qa

or

./run.sh -c UAT-Profile  -Djboss.service.binding.set=ports-uat

Key things to note:
1) Port offset configured in section CustomOffsetMap
2) SystemPropertiesConfigured
3) PortsDefaultBindings is the only binding set, from the default configuration, that needs to remain
