Error description

• When using the WebSphere MQ Resource Adapter, defining a
  property called "clientID" on an activation specification for a
  message-driven bean (MDB) results in the following failure when
  the MDB is deployed on JBOSS:
  
  WARN  ?org.jboss.system.ServiceController?
  Problem starting service jboss.j2ee:service=EJB,plugin=invoker,
  binding=message-inflow-driven-bean,
  jndiName=local/apupdatesmdb@23716998
  org.jboss.deployment.DeploymentException:
    Error for ActivationSpec
  class com.ibm.mq.connector.inbound.ActivationSpecImpl as
  JavaBean - nested throwable: (java.beans.IntrospectionException:
  No property found for: clientID on JavaBean
  
  
  An example of an activation specification that sets this
  property is shown below:
  
  <activation-config-property>
    <activation-config-property-name>clientID
    </activation-config-property-name>
    <activation-config-property-value>MDB1
    </activation-config-property-value>
  </activation-config-property>
  

Local fix

Problem summary

• ****************************************************************
  USERS AFFECTED:
  Any applications/MDB being deployed in a JBOSS server
  environment and defining a clientID attribute on an activation
  spec.
  
  Platforms affected:
  All Distributed (iSeries, all Unix and Windows) +Java
  ****************************************************************
  PROBLEM SUMMARY:
  To set the Client ID value for the MDB, there are two
  options "clientId" and "clientID" (note the change in case).
  When clientID value is used, there is no property descriptor to
  store and handle the clientID value. Currently, only clientId
  value is considered to be a valid way to set the clientid
  information.
  
  Hence when customer uses the clientID property the RA code
  throws an exception stating it is an invalid property.
  

Problem conclusion

• Code is modified to support clientID value as a valid property.
  Both clientID and clientId property compliment's each other.
  get/set clientID internally will call get/set clientId so that
  the functionality is not changed.
