Using LDAP to store JMS ConnectionFactories and Destinations

[action_jackson_j]

Can this be done? I am having a hard time finding ANY information to support this.

I basically want to have a global jndi tree, backed by LDAP, that I can use to access resources in JBOSSMessaging. The connection factories and destinations are pretty lightweight, so this should not be a problem.

Please help!

Thanks.

Wrong forum -> JNDI

[action_jackson_j]

ok, let me try and ask the question a different way. Can I serialize the JMS administered objects, ConnectionFactory and Destination, for queues and topics. Are the objects constructed in such a way that makes serialization easily possible?

If designed right, these objects should only contain parameter information for your connection and knowledge of what destination to go to. If this is possible I can construct a global JNDI tree (external to JBOSS) that will have the information to access JMS externally from the JBOSS environment thus creating a more extensible solution.

Please help.

Thanks.

Read the spec. All JMS Admin objects are serializable and referencable.

First, some JMS vendors actually DON'T make their objects serializable. Second have you tried this? Or are you just assuming at this point. Third if this is the case and I access the JMS Administered objects from a global JNDI tree that is external to JBOSS, will the JMS invocations be network centric, because the parameters are, or will the JBOSS implementation figure out that the calls are within the same VM so it is an in process call. Please advise. Thanks.

I don't care about other vendors non-compliance

Have you? It is you that wants to do it.

No

Again in English. No on second thoughts, read this then you can find out for yourself:

The jndi spec is a good place to start.
