Jms Component & WebLogic

[pchandler]

Is there a way to load the weblogic JMS connection factory locally/statically  i.e., no JNDI?

<bean id="jms" class="org.apache.camel.component.jms.JmsComponent">
  <property name="connectionFactory" class="???????"></property>
</bean>

Yeah, that can be a pain getting to work...You'll have to update w/the correct weblogic

Yes. I have wired-up standalone ActiveMQ, Websphere, and SonicMQ. However, I am looking for a WebLogic standalone (no JNDI) example. No sure what the WebLogic JMS provider specific connection factory class is and how to configure it?

Seriously can't help you there w/a non jndi impl; I don't even know if Oracle still maintains Weblogic.  However; if your looking to connect w/a proxy client outside the app server; a 4 line jndi emulator is what you need.  Let me know if you need the code.   Wow, Weblogic..."Now, that's a name I've not heard in a long time...a long time." (Obi-Wan). 

Also, an amq bridge maybe an option for you.

"Some JMS providers, WebLogic for instance, do not expose a setter for connection properties like host and port (setBrokerUrl) on their ConnectionFactory object. In this case you need to set outboundQueueConnectionFactoryName and jndiOutboundTemplate in your activemq.xml config file."

No big deal w/that.  Little reflection and BI can get you around that.  Good luck!

It looks like Weblogic considers  a ConnectionFactory a "JMS Administer Object". Hence, you create/maintain/configure the ConnectionFactory Object outside of your Java JMS code. More true to the JMS Specification.

Here is the answer:

Creating a JNDI ConnectionFactory Object in WebLogic's Java Named Directory.

1.     I Downloaded, Installed, Configured, and Started the WebLogic Server

2.     I then logged into the WebLogic Console http://myHostName:7001/console

3.     I followed the instructions

Wire-up a JMS component as follows:

<beans>
    
     <!-- To configure/install the weblogic JMS connection factory see:  http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E13222_01/wls/docs90/ConsoleHelp/taskhelp/jms_modules/connection_factories/CreateConnectionFactories.html -->
       
    <!-- Defines the Client connection to the JNDI Server --> 
    <bean id="jndiTemplate" class="org.springframework.jndi.JndiTemplate">
        <property name="environment">
            <props>
                <prop key="java.naming.factory.initial">weblogic.jndi.WLInitialContextFactory</prop>
                <prop key="java.naming.provider.url">t3://localhost:7001</prop>
                <!-- opional ... -->
                <prop key="java.naming.security.principal">weblogic</prop>
                <prop key="java.naming.security.credentials">weblogic</prop>
            </props>
        </property>
    </bean>
    
    <!-- Gets a Weblogic JMS Connection factory object from JDNI Server by jndiName--> 
    <bean id="webLogicJmsConnectionFactory" class="org.springframework.jndi.JndiObjectFactoryBean">
        <property name="jndiTemplate" ref="jndiTemplate"></property>
        <property name="jndiName" value="jms/connectionFactory"></property>  <!-- the connection factory object is store under this name -->
    </bean>
    
    <!-- Create a new WebLogic Jms Camel Component -->
    <bean id="weblogicJmsCamelComponent" class="org.apache.camel.component.jms.JmsComponent">
       <property name="connectionFactory" ref="webLogicJmsConnectionFactory"></property>
    </bean>
        

</beans>
