Planning JMS connectors

Updated on October 28, 2020

Before you can create a Java Message Services connector, you must plan it. You gather information about the system the connector sends messages to and determine the data to send in the messages. For example, determine where  the connector gets the data for the message (from which properties in which classes), and how you'll identify the JMS resources, either using a JNDI server data object or resource references.

After you obtain the information about the destination of messages and the data to send, choose names for the rules and data objects that make up the connector.

Note: JMS connectors support JMS 1.0. JMS connectors work with JMS 1.1, but only for JMS 1.0 features, for example, shared subscriptions, a JMS 1.1 feature, is not supported.

Suggested Approach

First, determine how you will use identify the JMS resources (connection factories, destinations, and so on) the service connector interacts with:

Use the following table to organize the information you need about the JMS resources (the external system) the JMS connector communicates with.

Item

Name or Value

JNDI initial context factory class

 

Provider URL of the JNDI server

 

User name and password for connecting to the JNDI server that identifies the JMS provider, if necessary

 

Messaging model: point-to-point, or publish/subscribe

 

JMS connection factory class

 

Queue or topic name

 

Request message type of the messages to be sent

 

Choose names for the rules and data objects in your JMS connector and use the following table in to keep track of the names.

Rule or Data Object

Name

RuleSet Name

 

RuleSet Version

 

Class rule for connector

 

Properties for connector

 

Class rule for connector activity

 

Properties for connector activity

 

Connector rule (Service Name)

 

Connector activity

 

JNDI server

 

JMS producer model

 

You are now ready to create the JMS connector. Continue to Creating JMS connectors.
