Foreign destinations

A foreign destination provides a mapping to a destination of the same name on a different bus, and enables applications on one bus to access directly the destination on another bus. You can set its own destination properties which will override the destination defaults.

This figure shows a foreign destination that points to a target destination on another bus.  The figure also shows the JMS connection factory and JMS queue that an application uses without being aware of the associated foreign destination.  For more information, see the text that accompanies the figure.

The foreign destination encapsulates the name of the target destination that exists in the foreign bus (Identifier property) and the name of that foreign bus (Bus property). An application that wants to use the foreign destination to exchange messages with the target destination must specify the Identifier and Bus properties.

For example, an administrator wants JMS applications to connect to one bus, BusA, and send messages to a JMS queue backed by a queue, targetQueue, on another bus, busB. The administrator connects the buses, creates a foreign destination on BusA and sets the following properties on the foreign destination and JMS queue:
JMS queue Foreign destination (on BusA) Queue (on BusB)
Queue name targetQueue
Bus name BusB
Identifier targetQueue
Bus BusB
Identifier targetQueue
