Configuring JMS objects using the administration tool
You can use the IBM® MQ JMS administration tool to define the properties of eight types of IBM MQ classes for JMS object and to store them within a JNDI namespace. Applications can then use JNDI to retrieve these administered objects from the namespace.
About this task
The following table shows the eight types of administered objects that you can create, configure and manipulate using verbs. The Keyword column shows the strings that you can substitute for
TYPE in the commands shown in Table 1.
| Object Type | Keyword | Description |
|---|---|---|
| MQConnectionFactory | CF | The IBM MQ implementation of the JMS ConnectionFactory interface. This represents a factory object for creating connections in both the point-to-point and publish/subscribe domains. |
| MQQueueConnectionFactory | QCF | The IBM MQ implementation of the JMS QueueConnectionFactory interface. This represents a factory object for creating connections in the point-to-point domain. |
| MQTopicConnectionFactory | TCF | The IBM MQ implementation of the JMS TopicConnectionFactory interface. This represents a factory object for creating connections in the publish/subscribe domain. |
| MQQueue | Q | The IBM MQ implementation of the JMS Queue interface. This represents a destination for messages in the point-to-point domain. |
| MQTopic | T | The IBM MQ implementation of the JMS Topic interface. This represents a destination for messages in the publish/subscribe domain. |
| MQXAConnectionFactory 1 | XACF | The IBM MQ implementation of the JMS XAConnectionFactory interface. This represents a factory object for creating connections in both the point-to-point and publish/subscribe domains, and where the connections use the XA versions of JMS classes. |
| MQXAQueueConnectionFactory 1 | XAQCF | The IBM MQ implementation of the JMS XAQueueConnectionFactory interface. This represents a factory object for creating connections in the point-to-point domain that use the XA versions of JMS classes. |
| MQXATopicConnectionFactory 1 | XATCF | The IBM MQ implementation of the JMS XATopicConnectionFactory interface. This represents a factory object for creating connections in the publish/subscribe domain that use the XA versions of JMS classes. |
Note:
- These classes are provided for use by vendors of application servers. They are unlikely to be directly useful to application programmers.
For more information about how to configure these objects, see Configuring JMS objects.
The property types and values that you need to use this tool are listed in Properties of IBM MQ classes for JMS objects.
You can also use the tool to manipulate directory namespace subcontexts within the JNDI as described in Configuring subcontexts.
You can also create and configure JMS administered objects with IBM MQ Explorer.
