List JMS resources for the default messaging provider

Use the WebSphere Application Server administrative console to list JMS resources for the default messaging provider, for administrative purposes.

We use the WAS administrative console to list JMS resources, to view, modify or delete any of the following resources:

• Activation specifications
• Unified connection factories
• Queue connection factories

• Topic connection factories
• Queues

• Topics

When we use the administrative console to locate these resources, two different navigation pathways are available:

• Provider-centric navigation lets you view all providers, or just those for a specified scope, then navigate to a specific resource for a specific provider. This is the traditional way of navigating to a resource when you know which provider supports it. Any navigation that starts with Resources -> JMS -> JMS providers is provider-centric.
• Resource-centric navigation lets you view all resources of a specified type, then navigate to a resource. This is useful to find a resource, but we do not know which provider supports it (we can list all resources of a given type across all scopes, for all providers, in a single panel). Any navigation that follows the pattern Resources -> JMS -> resource_type is resource-centric, where resource_type is one of the resource types previously listed.

Use either of these navigation pathways to locate JMS resources of any type.

Tasks

• Use provider-centric navigation, for example to navigate to a specified queue connection factory.

  1. Start the administrative console.

  2. 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 (we can modify the scope if required).

  3. Select the required JMS provider.

     The settings panel for this provider is displayed. The configuration tab contains a set of links to all the JMS resources owned by this provider.

  4. Click the link for a JMS resource type. For example, click Queue connection factories.

     The queue connection factories collection panel is displayed. This panel lists all the queue connection factories for this provider.

  5. Select the required queue connection factory.

• Use resource-centric navigation, for example to navigate to a specified queue connection factory.

  1. Start the administrative console.

  2. In the navigation pane, click...

             Resources -> JMS -> Queue connection factories.

     The queue connection factories collection panel is displayed. This panel lists all the queue connection factories across all messaging providers.

  3. Select the required queue connection factory.

We can now view and work with the resource properties.
