ra.xml for remote SonicMQ-Broker?

fhh Apr 7, 2007 2:19 PM

I need to talk to a JMS queue on a remote server. I thought that JCA would be the prefered way of connecting to the remote broker.

If I understand the docs correctly I need three things:

1.) The jca implementation from Sonic.

2.) A deployment descriptor to configure the jca adapter call ra.xml.

3.) a *-ds.xml file to bin the adapter to JNDI.

I have 1.) and creating 3.) from the examples shouldn't be too difficult. However, the second point is a major problem. As far as I know the ra.xml is vendor specific but Sonic doesn't have an example on their web site.

Has anybody successfully connected to a remote (or local) Sonic queue? If so could you point me in the right direction about what to put in the ra.xml?

Regards

Felix

Correct, it is vendor specific and provides the 'template' for the RA itself. The properties of your *-ds.xml file match the properitees for the connection defintion in the RAR file. Easiest thing to do is simply crack the RAR open and read the ra.xml.

Well, that is my problem. I haven't got a *.rar. I have only the *.jar without any configuration files.

Ok, so you will need to talk to Sonic about getting the RAR file for deployment. This is the only way you will be able to deploy the adapter and have it function correctly.

Hi Can you please tell me if we can connect to SONIC MQ without the JCA implementation?

And if we wish to go with SONIC JCA adaptor for Jboss what's the procedure to get the same ?

I have the SONIC SOA license would that have the JCA adaptor as well or is it a separately licensed component...

the SONIC tuorials referred on jboss wiki

is obsolete are you aware of any other tutorial whihc explains these concepts ?
