Generic JMS destination settings for application clients

Use this panel to view or change the configuration properties of the selected JMS destination for use with the associated JMS provider.

To view this Application Client Resource Configuration Tool (ACRCT) page, click File > Open. After you browse for an EAR file, click Open. Expand the selected JAR file > Messaging Providers > new JMS Provider instance. Right-click Destinations, and click New. The following fields are displayed on the General tab.

A JMS destination is used to configure the properties of a JMS destination for the associated generic JMS provider. Connections to the JMS destination are created by the associated JMS connection factory. A JMS destination for use with a generic JMS provider (not the default messaging provider or IBM MQ as a JMS provider) has the following properties.

Name

The name by which the queue is known for administrative purposes within WebSphere Application Server.

Information	Value
Data type	String

Description

A description of the queue, for administrative purposes.

JNDI Name

The JNDI name of the actual (physical) name of the JMS destination bound into JNDI.

External JNDI Name

The JNDI name used to bind the queue into the application server name space.

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

Destination Type

Queue
