Third-party JMS connection factory settings
Use this panel to browse or change the configuration properties of a JMS connection factory configured for use with a third-party non-JCA messaging provider. These configuration properties control how connections are created to the JMS destinations on the provider.
A JMS connection factory is used to create connections to JMS destinations. The JMS connection factory is created by the associated JMS provider.
To view this page, use the admin console...
- In the navigation pane, click Resources > JMS ->JMS providers. The JMS providers collection panel is displayed. This lists all currently configured messaging providers across all scopes (you can modify the scope if required).
- Click the name of the third-party non-JCA messaging provider.
- Under Additional Properties, click Connection factories.
- Click the name of the JMS connection factory to work with.
Scope
Level to which this resource definition is visible to applications.
Resources such as messaging providers, namespace bindings, or shared libraries can be defined at multiple scopes, with resources defined at more specific scopes overriding duplicates that are defined at more general scopes.
The scope displayed is for information only, and cannot be changed on this panel. To browse or change this resource (or other resources) at a different scope, change the scope on the messaging provider settings panel, then click Apply, before clicking the link for the type of resource.
Information Value Data type String
Name
The name by which this JMS connection factory is known for administrative purposes within IBM WAS. The name must be unique within the associated messaging provider.
Information Value Data type String
Type
Whether this connection factory is for creating JMS queue destinations or JMS topic destinations.
Select one of the following options:
QUEUE
A JMS queue connection factory for point-to-point messaging.
TOPIC
A JMS topic connection factory for publish/subscribe messaging.
JNDI name
The JNDI name used to bind the connection factory into the WAS namespace.
As a convention, use the fully qualified JNDI name; for example, in the form jms/Name, where Name is the logical name of the resource.
This name is used to link the platform binding information. The binding associates the resources defined by the deployment descriptor of the module to the actual (physical) resources bound into JNDI by the platform.
Information Value Data type String
Description
A description of this connection factory for administrative purposes within IBM WAS.
Information Value Data type String Default Null
Category
A category used to classify or group this connection factory, for your IBM WAS administrative records.
Information Value Data type String
External JNDI name
The JNDI name used to bind the connection factory into the namespace of the third-party messaging provider.
As a convention, use the fully qualified JNDI name; for example, in the form jms/Name, where Name is the logical name of the resource.
This name is used to link the platform binding information. The binding associates the resources defined by the deployment descriptor of the module to the actual (physical) resources bound into JNDI by the platform.
Information Value Data type String
Component-managed Authentication Alias
This alias specifies a user ID and password to be used to authenticate connection to a JMS provider for application-managed authentication.
This property provides a list of the J2C authentication data entry aliases that have been defined to WAS. We can select a data entry alias to be used to authenticate the creation of a new connection to the JMS provider.
If we have enabled administrative security for WAS, select the alias that specifies the user ID and password used to authenticate the creation of a new connection to the JMS provider. The use of this alias depends on the resource authentication (res-auth) setting declared in the connection factory resource reference of the deployment descriptors for an application component.
Container-managed Authentication Alias
This alias specifies a user ID and password to be used to authenticate connection to a JMS provider for container-managed authentication.
This property provides a list of the J2C authentication data entry aliases that have been defined to WAS. We can select a data entry alias to be used to authenticate the creation of a new connection to the JMS provider.
If we have enabled administrative security for WAS, select the alias that specifies the user ID and password used to authenticate the creation of a new connection to the JMS provider. The use of this alias depends on the resource authentication (res-auth) setting declared in the connection factory resource reference of the deployment descriptors for an application component.
Map-Configuration Alias
The module used to map authentication aliases.
This field provides a list of the modules that have been configured on the Global Security > JAAS Configuration > Application Logins Configuration property. For more information about the mapping configurations, see Java Authentication and Authorization service configuration entry settings.
Information Value Data type Enum Default Null Range
ClientContainer
The client container maps authentication aliases.
WSLogin
The WSLogin module maps authentication aliases.
DefaultPrincipalMapping
The JAAS configuration maps an authentication alias to its userid and password.
Connection pool
Specifies an optional set of connection pool settings.
Connection pool properties are common to all J2C connectors.
The application server pools connections and sessions with the messaging provider to improve performance. You have to configure the connection and session pool properties appropriately for the applications, otherwise you may not get the connection and session behavior that you want.
Change the size of the connection pool if concurrent server-side access to the JMS resource exceeds the default value. The size of the connection pool is set on a per queue or topic basis.
Session pool
An optional set of session pool settings.
This link provides a panel of optional connection pool properties, common to all J2C connectors.
The application server pools connections and sessions with the messaging provider to improve performance. You have to configure the connection and session pool properties appropriately for the applications, otherwise you may not get the connection and session behavior that you want.
Custom properties
An optional set of name and value pairs for custom properties passed to the messaging provider.
