Access a user defined work area partition

 

Overview

The work area partition service provides a Java Naming and Directory Interface (JNDI) binding to an implementation of the work area partition manager interface under the name java:comp/websphere/WorkAreaPartitionManager. Applications that need to access their partition can perform a lookup on that JNDI name and then use the getWorkAreaPartition method on the work area partition manager, as shown in the following code example:

 

Example

import com.ibm.websphere.workarea.*;
import javax.naming.*;

public class SimpleSampleServlet {
  ...

         //Variable to hold our WorkAreaPartitionManager implementation
         WorkAreaPartitionManager partitionManager = null;
         try {
             InitialContext initialContext = new InitialContext();
             partitionManager = (WorkAreaPartitionManager) 
            initialContext.lookup("java:comp/websphere/WorkAreaPartitionManager");
         } catch (Exception e) {...}

         //Variable used to hold the retrieved WorkArea Partition
         UserWorkArea myPartition = null;
         try{
             myPartition = partitionManager.getWorkAreaPartition(partitionName);
         }catch(NoSuchPartitionException e){...}
}

 

What to do next

The next step is to use the begin method to create a new work area and associate it with the calling thread, as described in the topic Beginning a new work area.
