Listener ports

 

---

Listener ports define the association between a connection factory, a destination, and a message-driven bean.

Note that if configured as enabled, a listener port is started automatically when a message-driven bean associated with that port is installed. You do not normally need to start or stop a listener port manually.

Each listener port is used with a message-driven bean to automatically receive messages from an associated JMS queue destination.

Messages put to MQ queues associated with a listener port will be automatically consumed. So, for example, if you put to MQ QUEUE1, and QUEUE1 is assocated with a listener port in the WAS administrative configuration, those messages will automatically be consumed by the listener port.

 

Adding a new listener port

1. click through:

   Servers -> Application Servers -> application_server -> Message Listener Service -> Listener Ports -> New

   Specify appropriate properties for the listener port.

2. Click Save on the task bar of the Administrative console window.

3. To have the changed configuration take effect, stop then restart the appserver.

If enabled, the listener port is started automatically when a message-driven bean associated with that port is installed.
