Location JNDI Bindings

[jfrankman]

I am trying to integrate a tool call Websphere message broker to drop a message into a JBoss JMS queue. In the configuration I need to supply "Location JNDI bindings".

"Enter a value for the Location JNDI bindings. This value specifies either the file system path or the LDAP location for the bindings file. The bindings file contains definitions for the JNDI-administered objects that are used by the JMSOutput node."

Can someone please explain what the bindings file is and where it can be found remotely and locally?

Can it be access with iiop?

I think the text is referring to the jndi.properties file. For JBossAS, this file should contain:

java.naming.factory.initial=org.jnp.interfaces.NamingContextFactory
java.naming.provider.url=jnp://yourhostname:1099
java.naming.factory.url.pkgs=org.jboss.naming:org.jnp.interfaces

Where 'yourhostname' is the name or IP address of the host running JBossAS. You can place this file anywhere.

I am not sure if this is the sort of file it is expecting. When I look at another example which uses some other jms provider the file looks something like a jndi tree:

"#This file is used by the JNDI FSContext.

Other examples show you don't need to supply a file, but a url of some kind. For instance for sonicMQ the following is entered: "tcp://localhost:2506" at first I thought that maybe "tcp://localhost:1099" would work for JBoss but I was mistaken. Can the JBoss bindings file be accessed via some sort of URL?

That does look like some kind of dump from a JNDI tree. I know of nothing in JBoss AS that provides this text.

The correct URL appears in my prior post (hint: use 'jnp' in place of 'tcp').
