To view or change queue destinations go to...

Console | Resources | WebSphere JMS Provider | WebSphere Queue Destinations | destination_name

Connections to the queue are created by the associated queue connection factory for the embedded JMS provider. A queue for use with the internal WebSphere JMS provider has the following properties.

Scope

Level to which this resource definition is visible -- the cell, node, or server level.

Resources such as JMS Providers, Namespace bindings, or shared libraries can be defined at multiple scopes, with resources defined at more specific scopes overriding duplicates which are defined at more general scopes.

Name

The name by which the queue is known for administrative purposes within IBM WAS.

To enable applications to use this queue, add the queue name to the list of queue names in the configuration of the JMS servers that host the queue.

JNDI name

The JNDI name that is used to bind the queue into the application server's 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.
