Configuring Destinations

[apk2072]

In my application I am adding several destinations (Queues), one way of binding those destinations is create a myApp-service.xml and drop in the $JBOSS/server/default/deploy folder.

Instead of above approach, is there any other way I can bind the destinations? All my destination configuration is maintained in one of our database tables, I am looking something that during the server startup this configuration information is retrieved from the database table and do the binding instead of reading from the ../deploy/myApp-service.xml.

Thanks in advance,

APK.

You can create destinations programmatically using the ServerPeer MBean interface.

So I guess you could write a program that read the data from the database and called the mbean server to create the destinations.

*I guess * it would be nice if the next JMS spec version could add an Admin API.

Next JMS spec? :D

Don't hold your breath, JMS has been frozen for years. (since 2002 to be precise).

IIRC JMS is basically a LCD (lowest common denominator spec) that was basically written to unify the two forms of messaging prevalent at the time by the two main messaging providers- fast non persistent publish subscribe - as used by Tibco and point to point queues as used by IBM MQ series. I believe the spec was basically written by IBM.

I think you'll have an extraordinarily hard time getting agreement on another JMS spec.

Tim, Thanks for the feedback, do you have any such samples?

There should be plenty of examples of how to call an MBean operation on the jboss wiki.

I found some sample in examples folder. Here is the piece of java code, which works good.

public static void deployQueue(String jndiName) throws Exception
{
System.out.println("Deploying the queue - " + jndiName);

MBeanServerConnection mBeanServer = lookupMBeanServerProxy();
ObjectName serverObjectName = new ObjectName("jboss.messaging:service=ServerPeer");
String queueName = jndiName.substring(jndiName.lastIndexOf('/') + 1);
mBeanServer.invoke(serverObjectName, "createQueue", new Object[] {
queueName, jndiName }, new String[] { "java.lang.String","java.lang.String" });

System.out.println("Queue " + jndiName + " deployed");
}

Yep, totally forgot about that ...

It's worth running the examples, yes :)
