Sun Microsystems 820433510 manual Foreign JMS Providers, Accessing Remote Servers

Foreign JMS Providers

■In the MQ Scheme and MQ Service fields, type the Message Queue address scheme name and the Message Queue connection service name if a non-default scheme or service is to be used.

Values of all these properties can be updated at run time too. However, only those connection factories that are created after the properties are updated, will get the updated values. The existing connection factories will continue to have the original property values.

To manage JMS providers using the command-line utility, use the set or jms-ping commands.

Accessing Remote Servers

Changing the provider and host to a remote system causes all JMS applications to run on the remote server. To use both the local server and one or more remote servers, create a connection factory resource with the AddressList property to create connections that access remote servers.

Foreign JMS Providers

Generic Resource Adapter 1.5 for JMS is a Java EE Connector 1.5 resource adapter that can wrap the JMS client library of external JMS providers such as IBM Websphere MQ, Tibco EMS, and Sonic MQ among others, and thus integrate any JMS provider with a Java EE application server. The adapter is a.rar archive that can be deployed and configured using a Enterprise Server administration tools.

Configuring the Generic Resource Adapter for JMS

Enterprise Server's administration tools can be used to deploy and configure the generic resource adapter for JMS. This section explains how to configure Generic Resource Adapter for JMS with Enterprise Server.

Overall, the Resource Adapter can be configured to indicate whether the JMS provider supports XA or not. It is also possible to indicate what mode of integration is possible with the JMS provider. Two modes of integration are supported by the resource adapter. The first one uses JNDI as the means of integration. In this case, administered objects are set up in the JMS provider's JNDI tree and will be looked up for use by the generic resource adapter. If that mode is not suitable for integration, it is also possible to use the Java reflection of JMS administered object javabean classes as the mode of integration.

You can use the Admin Console or the command-line to configure the resource adapter. This is not different from configuring any other resource adapter.
