Migration to the Thin Client for JMS with WebSphere Application Server

There are a number of differences to consider when migrating to the Thin Client for JMS with WebSphere® Application Server from an earlier version of the client.

Table 1. Migration from WebSphere Application Server Version 6.0.2 to WebSphere Application Server Version 7.0
Area WebSphere Application Server Version 6.0.2 (Client for Java™ Message Service on Java 2 Platform, Standard Edition with WebSphere Application Server) WebSphere Application Server Version 7.0 (Thin Client for JMS with WebSphere Application Server)
Installation Available for separate download and installation Installed in the WebSphere Application Server or Application Client /runtimes directory
JMS jar file name sibc.jms.jar file com.ibm.ws.sib.client.thin.jms_version_number.jar
Performing JNDI lookups of JMS resources Requires optional sibc.jndi.jar file (and ORB sibc.orb.jar file for non-IBM JREs) Requires Thin Client for EJB with WebSphere Application Server jar file com.ibm.ws.ejb.thinclient_version_number.jar or com.ibm.ws.ejb.thinclient.z_version_number.jar (and ORB com.ibm.ws.orb_version_number.jar for non-IBM JREs)
SSL configuration

Secure connections are configured by using JRE global properties:

-Djavax.net.ssl.keyStore
-Djavax.net.ssl.keyStorePassword
-Djavax.net.ssl.trustStore
-Djavax.net.ssl.trustStorePassword

Two approaches to configuring secure connections.

The first approach uses JRE global properties:

-Djavax.net.ssl.keyStore
-Djavax.net.ssl.keyStorePassword
-Djavax.net.ssl.trustStore
-Djavax.net.ssl.trustStorePassword

The second approach is to specify security settings that are specific to Thin Client for JMS with WebSphere Application Server connections:

-Dcom.ibm.ssl.keyStoreType
-Dcom.ibm.ssl.keyStore
-Dcom.ibm.ssl.keyManager
-Dcom.ibm.ssl.trustManager
-Dcom.ibm.ssl.keyStorePassword
-Dcom.ibm.ssl.protocol
-Dcom.ibm.ssl.contextProvider
-Dcom.ibm.ws.sib.jsseProvider

Minimum JRE level 1.4.2 1.5
Enable trace (set trace specification)

-Dcom.ibm.ws.sib.client.traceSetting

-Dcom.ibm.ejs.ras.lite.traceSpecification

Set trace file name

-Dcom.ibm.ws.sib.client.traceFile

-Dcom.ibm.ejs.ras.lite.traceFileName

Set max trace file size Not applicable

-Dcom.ibm.ejs.ras.lite.maxFileSize

Set max number of trace files Not applicable

-Dcom.ibm.ejs.ras.lite.maxFiles

Set trace format Not applicable

-Dcom.ibm.ejs.ras.lite.traceFormat

Using alternative trace properties file -DtraceSettingsFile

-DtraceSettingsFile

Thin Client for JMS with WebSphere Application Server supports new options described in Trace user interface for stand-alone clients
Enable and specify FFDC file name

-DffdcLogFile

-Dcom.ibm.ejs.ras.lite.ffdcLogFile

NLS support Installation option for NLS support Non-English versions are available in the sibc.nls.jar file
