The standard way for web applications to access resources from the external environment is to look up objects via JNDI. Software AG Runtime provides a JNDI injection framework that allows web applications to access dynamic Common Platform resources in a transparent way. The JNDI injection framework supports the standard elements resource-ref, resource-env-ref, and env-entry for resource definition. The resource is accessed from the Java code in the standard way. It is bound under java:comp/env namespace.

You can configure custom web applications to use JNDI resources in the standard way (that is, by declaring a resource reference in the WEB-INF/web.xml file that is contained in the web application war).
