Configure a listener port
Use this task to browse or change the properties of an existing listener port, which is used by message-driven beans associated with the port to retrieve messages.
To use message-driven beans with a messaging provider that does not have a JCA 1.5 resource adapter, you cannot use activation specifications and therefore configure your beans against a listener port. There are also a few scenarios in which, although you could use activation specifications, you might still choose to use listener ports. For example, for compatability with existing message-driven bean applications. For more information about when to use listener ports rather than activation specifications, see Message-driven beans, activation specifications, and listener ports.
A listener port defines the association between a connection factory, a destination, and a deployed message-driven bean. This association enables deployed message-driven beans associated with the port to retrieve messages from the destination. See Message-driven beans - listener port components.
When you deploy an enterprise application to use message-driven beans with listener ports, you can browse or change the configuration of a listener port.
Procedure
- Start the admin console.
- In the navigation pane, click...
> Server Types > WebSphere application servers ->server_name
> [Communications] Messaging > Message listener service > [Additional Properties] Listener Ports
The Message listener port collection panel is displayed.
- Select the name of the listener port to work with. This displays the properties of the listener port in the content pane.
- Optional: Change properties for the listener port, according to your needs.
- Click OK.
- Save your changes to the master configuration.
- To have a changed configuration take effect, stop then restart the application server.
