Creating JMS Provider

JMS Provider is used to connect to JMS Server. While creating JMS Provider, you need to specify the Provider Jar files, which are used to connect to JMS Server. There are several services of Adeptia Suite, which require JMS Provider to connect to JMS Server.
This feature is available in:

This section describes how to create a JMS Provider activity using the following details:

Steps to create JMS Provider

1. On the Adeptia Suite Home page, click the Develop tab.

2. Go to Services > Connector and then click JMS Provider.

   The Manage JMS Provider screen is displayed (see Figure 595).

   

   Figure 595: Manage JMS Provider

3. Click the Create New link. The Create JMS Provider screen is displayed.
4. Enter the name and description for the new JMS Provider in the textboxes Name and Description fields respectively.

5.  Select the server type from the drop-down list JMS Server Type (see Figure 555)

   
   Figure 555: Create JMS Provider

   To know more on the JMS Server types supported by Adeptia Suite and their corresponding JAR files, JNDI Factory and URLs, refer Table 4.

6. Click Upload Jars button to upload the driver jar files for the JMS Server. The Upload Jar Files screen is displayed (see Figure 596 ).

   
   
   Figure 596: Upload JAR Files

   JMS Jar files are drivers, which are used to connect JMS Servers. There are specific jar files for different JMS Servers. These jar files are not provided with the Adeptia Suite. Users should use the jar files that are available with the JMS Servers.

7. Click the Browse button and select the required jar files. The path of the selected jar file is displayed in the Browse File field.
8. Click the Upload JAR button. The file name is displayed in under the heading File Names list.
9. Repeat steps 6 - 8 to upload additional jar files.

10. Click the Finish button to return to the Create JMS Provider screen. The uploaded jar file(s) is displayed in the textbox Provider Jar Files.

    If required, you can also unload the JAR files. To unload jars files, click the Unload JAR button.

11. Enter the JNDI Factory class name as specified by the JMS Provider in the textbox JNDI Factory. For Example, in case of Apache ActiveMQ, the value is org.apache.activemq.jndi.ActiveMQInitialContextFactory.
12. Enter the URL of the JMS Server in the URL field. For example, for Apache ActiveMQrunning on the same server, use tcp://localhost:61616.
13. Enter the username and password required to connect to JMS Server in the textboxes UserName and Password respectively.
14. Re-enter the password in the textbox Confirm Password.
15. Enter the JMS Provider Queue connection Factory in the Queue Connection Factory field. For example, in case of Apache ActiveMQ, Queue Connection Factory is QueueConnectionFactory.
16. Enter the JMS Provider Topic Connection Factory in the Topic Connection Factory field. For example, in case of OpenJMS, Topic Connection Factory is TopicConnectionFactory.

17. In case the JMS Server, which you are trying to connect, requires additional connection parameters, the enter those connection parameters and their values in the Additional Connection Parameters table  (see Figure 558). For example in the below screen shots, name of the topic and queue is defined.
    
    
    Figure 558: Create JMS Provider

    The above example is only applicable in case of Apache MQ. If we use the Apache Active MQ as JMS Server then we can define the Topic and Queue name (which will be used in the Source/Target/Event) in the Additional Connection parameter table.

18. Click the Save button.

The following table lists the types of JMS Server supported by Adeptia Suite and their corresponding JAR Files, JNDI Factory, and URL (see Table 4):
