[gt-user] Multiple Services sharing same Resource....!

[Asif Akram]

Hi,

   I have little confusion related to different WSRF Services sharing the 
same resource. I have two Services i.e. Service A and Service B; both have 
same ResourceHome and thus same Resource class. Both Services are performing 
different operations on different resource properties of the same resource. 
I can instantiate resource thorugh Service A and Service B which are 
definately different instances of resources, but when I try to pass resource 
EPR created by Service A to Service B it suddenly gives error Resource Not 
Found.

What I have noticed is that Service A and Service B have their own instances 
of ResourceHome thus they can't directly work on resources instantiated by 
other services. To overcome this problem I have static HashTable in the 
ResourceHome and storing resources myself; this solution is working for me 
and I can share the resources between different WSRF services no matter 
which ever service has instantiated the resource but I am not comfortable 
with this solution. I believe there should be better solution or maybe 
better built in option through deployment descriptor or jndi-config.xml.

Anyone knows any better to way to tackle this Resource Sharing .....!

Thanks
