public class JndiObjectFactoryBean

extends AbstractJndiLocator

implements FactoryBean

FactoryBean that looks up a JNDI object. Behaves like the object when used as bean reference, e.g. for JdbcTemplate's dataSource property.

The typical usage will be to register this as singleton factory (e.g. for a certain JNDI DataSource) in an application context, and give bean references to application services that need it.

Of course, service implementations can lookup e.g. a DataSource from JNDI themselves, but this class enables central configuration of the JNDI name, and easy switching to non-JNDI replacements. The latter can be used for test setups, standalone clients, etc.

Note that switching to e.g. DriverManagerDataSource is just a matter of configuration: replace the definition of this FactoryBean with a DriverManagerDataSource definition!
