How to Get Module and Application Name in JEE Applications
Join the DZone community and get the full member experience.
Join For FreeFor those of you who always wanted to get the name of the application or the module at runtime in a JEE application, here is a solution:
@Resource(lookup="java:module/ModuleName") private String moduleName; @Resource(lookup="java:app/AppName") private String applicationName;
It's been there since JEE 6 and it's easy and portable!
There is also the opportunity to get those names via JNDI lookup
String myModuleName = (String) initialContext.lookup("java:module/ModuleName"); String myApplicationName = (String) initialContext.lookup("java:app/AppName");
If you don't need the names in a field but just in a single method this is the way to go.
The default module name is the base name of an ejb-jar or WAR archive.
The default application name is the base name of an EAR archive.
