WebSphere queue settings

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

A queue destination is used to configure the properties of a JMS queue. Connections to the queue are created by the associated queue connection factory for the embedded WebSphere JMS provider. A queue for use with the internal WebSphere JMS provider has the following properties.

Note: You must add the queue name to the list of queue names in the configuration of the JMS servers that are to host the queue.

Name

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

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.
