Creating a connection factory for the IBM MQ messaging provider
Use this task to create a connection factory, a queue connection factory, or a topic connection factory for use with the IBM MQ messaging provider.
About this task
With JMS 1.1, domain-independent connection factories are preferred to domain-specific queue connection factories and topic connection factories.
With JMS 2.0, a connection factory can be used to create both connections and contexts. As a result, it is possible to have a connection pool associated with a connection factory that contains a mixture of both connections and contexts. It is recommended that a connection factory is only used for creating connections or creating contexts. This ensures that the connection pool for that connection factory only contains objects of a single type, which makes the pool more efficient.
To create a connection factory, a queue connection factory, or a topic connection factory for use with the IBM MQ messaging provider, use the administrative console to complete the following steps. You can choose either to enter all the required connection information using the Create IBM MQ JMS resource wizard or to use a client channel definition table (CCDT) to establish a connection to the IBM MQ messaging provider.
