Use JMS resources with the Thin Client for JMS with WebSphere Application Server

Suitable JMS connection factories and references to JMS queues or topics might be obtained programmatically without using JNDI. Alternatively, full JNDI support might be obtained from the Thin Client for EJB with WebSphere Application Server.

• To obtain suitable connection factories programmatically, without using JNDI, use code similar to that shown in the following example:

  import com.ibm.websphere.sib.api.jms.*;
  ...
  JmsConnectionFactory jmsCF =    JmsFactoryFactory.getInstance().createQueueConnectionFactory();
  jmsCF.setBusName("myBus");
  jmsCF.setProviderEndpoints("1.2.3.4");

  To obtain a suitable reference to a JMS queue or topic programmatically, use code similar to that shown in the following example:

  JmsQueue jmsQ = JmsFactoryFactory.getInstance().createQueue("myQueue");

  For further information, see the JmsFactoryFactory class API documentation available with WebSphere Application Server.

• To obtain full JNDI support from the Thin Client for EJB with WebSphere Application Server:

  1. Include the /runtimes/com.ibm.ws.ejb.thinclient_8.5.0.jar file in the compile and runtime classpaths for the enterprise application as described in Configure the Thin Client for JMS with WebSphere Application Server.

  2. Use the following code to create a suitable Initial Context, substituting the server IP address and port as appropriate:

     import javax.naming.*;
     ...
     Properties env = new Properties();
     env.put(Context.PROVIDER_URL,"iiop:
       //<server IP address>:<server bootstrap address port>");
     env.put(Context.INITIAL_CONTEXT_FACTORY, "com.ibm.websphere.naming.WsnInitialContextFactory");
     InitialContext ctx = new InitialContext(env);

     In certain situations, for example when running with a Sun JRE, an additional ORB jar is also required. For additional information about when this jar is required, see Running the IBM Thin Client for EJB.
