WebSphere topic connection factory settings for application clients

Use this panel to view or change the configuration properties of the selected topic connection factory for use with the internal WebSphere Application Server product Java Messaging Service (JMS) provider. These configuration properties control how connections are created to the associated JMS topic destination.

To view this ACRCT page, click File > Open. After you browse for an EAR file, click Open. Expand the selected JAR file > JMS Providers > JMS provider instance. Right click WAS Topic Connection Factories and click New. The following fields appear on the General tab.

A topic connection factory is used to create JMS connections to topic destinations. The topic connection factory is created by the associated JMS provider. A topic connection factory for the internal WebSphere product JMS provider has the following properties.

Name	The name by which this queue connection factory is known for administrative purposes within IBM WAS. The name must be unique within the JMS connection factories across the WebSphere administrative domain. Data type String
Description	A description of this topic connection factory for administrative purposes within IBM WAS. Data type String Default Null
JNDI Name	The application client run time uses this field to retrieve configuration information. The name must match the value of the Name field on the General tab in the Application Client Resource Reference section of the Assembly Tool.
User	The user ID used, with the Password property, for authentication if the calling application does not provide a userid and password explicitly. If you specify a value for the User ID property, also specify a value for the Password property. The connection factory User ID and Password properties are used if the calling application does not provide a userid and password explicitly, for example, if the calling application uses the method createTopicConnection(). The JMS client flows the userid and password to the JMS server. Data type String
Password	The password used, with the User ID property, for authentication if the calling application does not provide a userid and password explicitly. If you specify a value for the User ID property, also specify a value for the Password property. Data type String Default Null
Re-Enter Password	Confirms the password.
Node	The WebSphere node name of the administrative node where the JMS server runs for this connection factory. Connections created by this factory connect to that JMS server. Data type Enum Default Null Range Pull-down list of nodes in the WebSphere administrative domain.
Application Server	Enter the name of the appserver. This name is not the host name of the machine, but the name of the configured appserver.
Port	Which of the two ports that connections use to connect to the JMS Server. The QUEUED port is for full-function JMS publish/subscribe support, the DIRECT port is for non-persistent, non-transactional, non-durable subscriptions only. Note that Message-driven beans cannot use the direct listener port for publish/subscribe support. Therefore, any topic connection factory configured with the Port set to Direct cannot be used with message-driven beans. Data type Enum Units Not applicable Default QUEUED Range QUEUED The listener port used for full-function JMS-compliant, publish/subscribe support. DIRECT The listener port used for direct TCP/IP connection (non-transactional, non-persistent, and non-durable subscriptions only) for publish/subscribe support. The TCP/IP port numbers for these ports are defined on the product internal JMS server.
Client ID	The JMS client identifier used for connections to the MQSeries queue manager. Data type String
Custom Properties	Specifies name-value pairs for setting additional properties on the object that is created at run time for this resource. You must enter a name that is a public property on the object and a value that can be converted from a string to the type required by the set method of the property. The acceptable properties and values depend on the object that is created. Refer to the object documentation for a list of valid properties and values.
