Message listener port collection
The message listener ports configured in the administrative domain
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.
This panel displays a list of the message listener ports configured in the administrative domain. We can use this panel to add new listener ports or to change the properties of existing listener ports.
To view this administrative console panel, click Servers > Server Types > WebSphere application servers > server_name > [Messaging] Message Listener Service > Listener Ports
To manage a listener port, select the check box for the listener port name in the list and click a button:
