Hi all,

we are in process of migrating a customer liferay 6.2 project into Liferay 7.3.  This Liferay Portal runs on JBoss EAP 7.3.5 Server and contains few custom jars to fetch data from another JBoss Server over Bean-calls (ejb).

OSGi Framework supports JNDI Calls within OSGi Container as it is described in https://docs.osgi.org/download/r6/osgi.cmpn-6.0.0.pdf.  All what is needed is an implementation of JNDIContextManager that deliver an Context instance that enable JNDI calls.

My question is; do we have a standard JNDIContextManager implementation for Liferay 7.3? 

Secondly; i tried an OSGi Module by extracting code from an apache example http://www.apache.org/dyn/closer.cgi/aries/org.apache.aries.jndi-1.0.0.jar. and deployed in OSGi Container as a service. I can access this from my consumer module whereas i get the exception:

class cs.jndi.context.manager.impl.CsJndiContextManagerImpl cannot be cast to class org.osgi.service.jndi.JNDIContextManager (cs.jndi.context.manager.impl.CsJndiContextManagerImpl is in unnamed module of loader org.eclipse.osgi.internal.loader.EquinoxClassLoader @14de92ba; org.osgi.service.jndi.JNDIContextManager is in unnamed module of loader org.eclipse.osgi.internal.loader.EquinoxClassLoader @66a1b9f5)

(cs.jndi.context.manager.impl.CsJndiContextManagerImpl is the implementation and org.osgi.service.jndi.JNDIContextManager is the interface from osgi.cmpn-6.0.0.jar.)

It would be great if someone here could give us a feedback.  Thank you very much.
