In a managed bean that resides in a Database on the server Development I have this code:
s = ExtLibUtil.getCurrentSession();
theMap.put("Server Name", s.getServerName());
when I look at theMap after this has run I see Server Name and the value is blank. After this I get a datbase RepID and then try to open the database by RepID with
appDB = s.getDbDirectory(null).openDatabaseByReplicaID(repID);
if (appDB.isOpen()){
theMap.put(thisKey, repID);
}else{
theMap.put("DB " + thisKey, "Is Not Open");
}
if I have a rep copy of the database locally it opens it, if I remove the local Replica the open fails. If I change the line to:
appDB = s.getDbDirectory("Development").openDatabaseByReplicaID(repID);
the proper appDB opens. So it looks like the session thinks it is running locally because it return null for the server name. This is really strange, am I missing something? For the moment i have just hard coded the server name in the getDbDirectory but that wont work in the real world.
