Overview
ToconfigureIntegrationServerforJMSmessaging,youneedto: CreateoneormoreJNDIprovideraliasestospecifywhereIntegrationServercanlook upadministeredobjectswhenitneedscreateaconnectiontoJMSproviderorspecify adestinationforsendingorreceivingmessages. CreateoneormoreconnectionaliasesthatencapsulatethepropertiesthatIntegration ServerneedstocreateaconnectionwiththeJMSprovider. IntegrationServeralsoincludesvariousserverconfigurationpropertiesthatyoucanuse tochangethedefaultserverbehavior.Foralistofserverconfigurationparametersrelated toJMS,seeAppendix A,JMSServerConfigurationParameters.

Working with JNDI Providers

EachJMSprovidercanstoreJMSadministeredobjectsinastandardizenamespacecalled theJavaNamingandDirectoryInterface(JNDI).JNDIisaJavaAPIthatprovidesnaming anddirectoryfunctionalitytoJavaapplications. AstheJMSclient,IntegrationServerusesaJNDIprovideraliastoencapsulatethe informationneededtolookupanadministeredobject.WhenyoucreateaJMSconnection alias,youcanspecifytheJNDIprovideraliasthatIntegrationServershouldusetolookup administeredobjects(i.e.,ConnectionFactoriesandDestinations). Note: IfyouconnectdirectlytothewebMethodsJMSProviderusingnativewebMethods API,youdonotneedtouseaJNDIprovider.Instead,youcancreateDestinationsdirectly onthewebMethodsBroker.YoudonotneedtocreateConnectionFactoriesifyouusethe nativewebMethodsAPI.
