Through the IBM MQ messaging provider in Liberty, Java™ Message Service (JMS) messaging applications
can use your IBM MQ system
as an external provider of JMS messaging resources.
Before you begin
You must ensure that a Liberty server is created
on which you want to deploy the messaging application that uses JMS.
For more information, see Creating a Liberty server manually.
About this task
The wmqJmsClient-2.0 feature provides support for applications that use JMS 2.0 specifications.
Note: The wmqJmsClient-2.0 feature supports the
features of both JMS 1.1 and JMS 2.0 specifications. However, you can choose to use the wmqJmsClient-1.1 feature if you want to use
only the features that are compliant with JMS 1.1 specification.
Procedure
- Add the wmqJmsClient-2.0 feature to the
server.xml file. If you want to perform a JNDI lookup, then you must also add
the jndi-1.0 feature.
<featureManager>
<feature>wmqJmsClient-2.0</feature>
<feature>jndi-1.0</feature>
</featureManager>
Adding the wmqJmsClient-2.0 feature enables the
Liberty server to load the necessary IBM MQ bundles that
enable you to define the IBM MQ JMS resources. For example,
the connection factory and activation specification properties provide client libraries to connect
to the IBM MQ network.
- Specify the location of the IBM MQ Resource Adapter by adding the following entry to the server.xml file:
<variable name="wmqJmsClient.rar.location" value="/path/to/wmq/rar/wmq.jmsra.rar"/>
where
the
value attribute specifies the absolute path to the
IBM MQ Resource Adapter file,
wmq.jmsra.rar.
For details of the supported versions and obtaining the
wmq.jmsra.rar file, refer to the IBM MQ
technote 1633761. Obtain the wmq.jmsra.rar file and install it from Fix central.
- Add the connection factory definitions to the server.xml file.
<jmsConnectionFactory jndiName="jms/wmqCF" connectionManagerRef="ConMgr6">
<properties.wmqJms
transportType="CLIENT"
hostName="localhost"
port="1414"
channel="SYSTEM.DEF.SVRCONN"
queueManager="QM1"/>
</jmsConnectionFactory>
<connectionManager id="ConMgr6" maxPoolSize="2"/>
<jmsQueue id="jms/queue1" jndiName="jms/wmqQ1">
<properties.wmqJms
baseQueueName="MDBQ"
baseQueueManagerName="QM1"/>
</jmsQueue>
- Configure JMS applications to connect in the BINDING mode.
To allow the JMS applications to connect by using the shared memories or in BINDING mode to
IBM MQ, you must have both Liberty and
IBM MQ deployed on the same server. To allow JMS applications
to connect in BINDING mode, use the
nativeLibraryPath element in the
server.xml file to specify the location of the
IBM MQ native
libraries.
<wmqJmsClient nativeLibraryPath="/opt/mqm/java/lib64"/>
