Setting up JMS Queue, Topic and ConnectionFactory

[Former Member]

I am looking for Visual Administrator tool in free downloaded version of Java EE 5 of Netweaver 2004s. I guess SAP not providing this tool in trail version!!!. I am looking for this tool to setup JMS Queues and Topic and ConnectionFactory JNDI names.

Is there any otherway I can accomplish this task without Visial Administrator tool OR The entries I had in jms-resources.xml will suffice JMS setup?

I would really appreciate any help.

Thanks & Regards

Hi Venkat,

First, let me clarify that the Java EE 5 Edition you are talking about is not a "version of NetWeaver 2004s". It's a preview of some of the features that will be available in the upcoming product called SAP NetWeaver <a href="http://www.sap.com/company/press/press.epx?pressid=6705">Composition Environment</a>.

Now, to your questions. In this release the Visual Administrator has been replaced by a web-based tool - the NetWeaver Administrator (NWA). More information in the <a href="https://www.sdn.sap.comhttp://www.sdn.sap.comhttp://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/806e75a0-0e01-0010-2587-fc518de8ac1a">Administration Guide</a>. And regarding setting up JMS resources - please have a look at <a href="https://www.sdn.sap.comhttp://www.sdn.sap.comhttp://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/7bb9751d-0e01-0010-febd-c3adce2c408c">this</a> paper.

Hope it helps!

Thanks a ton Vladimir. It solved my problem to certain extent. I was able to setup a Queue and destinations in XML descriptor and communicate it through my client. However the document is not very clear about how to setup both Queue and Topic and how does my MDB handles these?

Do I have to create separate MDBs for Topic and Queue? Annotations in MDB not letting me to add both Topic and Queue !!

Thanks for any input you have!

It's not any different than with a single destination (Queue or Topic) - you just need to have two or more <destination> tags in the jms-resources.xml. Have a look for example at the Project Management and Employee Services application in the "Samples" tab of the NWDS Welcome page.

Yes, an MDB can only be registered to listen on a single destination (either Queue or Topic). This is as per the EJB specification.

Cheers,
