RE: [JBoss-user] JBoss XA transaction with WebSphere MQ
I just submitted a patch (ID 753022). Sample code and complete documentation to configure WSMQ in JBoss is included: The current status of this sample is as follow: MDB listening to a WSMQ queue (using a non-XA connection factory) and sending a reply to another WSMQ queue (auto-acknowledge mode) is working. MDB listening to a WSMQ queue using an XA connection factory is not working. The MDB never receives any messages (see below for more details). MDB listening to a WSMQ queue (using a non-XA connection factory) and sending a reply to a JBoss queue (auto-acknowledge mode) is working. MDB listening to a WSMQ queue (using a non-XA connection factory) and sending a reply to a JBoss queue (using an XA connection factory) is working. The WSMQ queue and JBoss queue are synchronized but not in a 100% reliable way as the WSMQ queue is not using an XA connection factory. MDB listening to JBoss queue (using and XA connection factory) and sending a reply to a WSMQ queue within the same XA transaction is working. The two queues are completely synchronized through XA. No tests have been done using WSMQ Topics (it requires an extra piece of software for WSMQ).

If X and Y are JBoss queues, no problem (container transaction-type in the MDB ejb-jar.xml and java:/JmsXA for Y connection factory). If X is a JBoss queue and Y is a WS MQ queue, I also manage to make it work but with a little more pain: - I had to change the JmsProviderAdapterJNDI config property value in the ra.xml of the jms-ra.rar (the JMS resource adapter for XA) in order to point to my WebSphereMQJMSProvider. - I had to tweak the JAAS settings of the JMS XA resource adapter in jms-service.xml (WS MQ did
RE: [JBoss-user] JBoss XA transaction with WebSphere MQ
In MQSeries 5.2, you could only use the XAConnectionFactory if you configured the MQSeries JMS API to use 'bindings mode' instead of 'client mode'. The upshot of this is that the MQSeries Queue Manager and your Application Server needed to be on the same box, because bindings mode uses shared memory to communicate.

I went through this pain already until I discovered that with MQ 5.3, service pack 3 (CSD03) and what IBM is calling the Extended Transaction Client, you are now supposed to be able to make XA work with the 'client mode' of the MQ JMS API (and this is what I am currently trying).

The upshot of this is that the MQSeries Queue Manager and your Application Server needed to be on the same box, because bindings mode uses shared memory to communicate.

RE: [JBoss-user] JBoss XA transaction with WebSphere MQ
Title: Message A while back I had it working in WebLogic 6 with JTS transaction (NOT XA transactions). At least I think it was JTS transactions. Essential you set the transactional flag to true when creating a session, and have to do session.commit for your writes to appear. This works in WLS 6.1 sp 4 onwards using their MessagingBridge (they will tell you they back-ported the MessagingBridge to sp2 or sp3. They only did half a job - it only works from sp4), or WLS7. In WLS7, I think MDBs have properties which allow you to connect them to any JNDI tree using a URL and Context Factory. In this case, you use the Sun FileSystem JNDI implementation and IBM's jmsadmin (???) tool to manage the FileSystem JNDI. There are plenty of papers on the web about doing this. Good luck!

I managed to create a new JMS resource adapter as you suggested. It seems to work fine. I need to check if I can send a message to a JBoss and a WSMQ queue using my two resource adapters but all in one transaction. I did experience some problems if I change the following value in my new JMS resource adapter: adapter-display-nameJMS Adapter/adapter-display-name If it is not set to JMS Adapter, then JBoss complains about the deployment being incomplete because of some dependencies with ConnectionManager and pool (or something like that. I can try to find the exact message if needed). Any ideas why? Thanks again for the help.

If you can post the working configuration as a patch at www.sf.net/projects/jboss I will include them in docs/examples/jms, I don't have MQSeries so I can't test it. For JNDI you have three options. 1) Bind the external context into jboss's jndi 2 Use the following attribute in the provider config attribute name=ProviderUrlwhatever/ProviderUrl 3) Write your own provider adapter Re: xa-connectionfalse/xa-connection You will need to specify this when the connection factory you chose in the JMS provider is not an XAConnectionFactory. Re: JMS resource adapter You don't need to change ra.xml, these are just default values. If you want a new JMS resource adapter, you should make a new configuration (just like when you make a new data source). You can specify the provider adapter as a property on the connection manager. 3.2 style - 3.0 is too long winded :-) but the idea is the same. !-- JMS XA Resource adapter, use this to get transacted JMS in beans -- tx-connection-factory jndi-nameMQJmsXA/jndi-name xa-transaction/ adapter-display-nameMQ JMS Adapter/adapter-display-name config-property name=JmsProviderAdapterJNDI type=java.lang.Stringjava:MQJMSProvider/config-property config-property name=SessionDefaultType type=java.lang.Stringjavax.jms.Topic/config-property security-domain-and-applicationJmsXARealm/security-domain-and-applica tion /tx-connection-factory Regards, Adrian Adrian Brock Director of Support Back Office JBoss Group, LLC -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 06 June 2003 05:59 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [JBoss-user] JBoss XA transaction with WebSphere MQ I have been playing with JBoss 3.0.5 and WebSphere MQ 5.3 (ex-MQSeries) for a while now. I managed to create a new JMS provider in JBoss for WebSphere MQ: In jms-service.xml, duplicate the org.jboss.jms.jndi.JMSProviderLoader mbean. Change the ProviderName to WebSphereMQJMSProvider, change the QueueFactoryRef to WSMQConnectionFactory (I also changed the TopicFactoryRef to WSMQConnectionFactory, but I did not play with topics). I am passing the details on how to add the WSMQConnectionFactory to the JBoss JNDI space. I managed to create a new configuration for MDB listening to WS MQ: In standardjboss.xml, duplicate the Standard Message Driven Bean container configuration. Change the name Standard Message Driven Bean to WebSphere MQ Message Driven Bean and set the JMSProviderAdapterJNDI to WebSphereMQJMSProvider (same as ProviderName in jms-service.xml). After that, I can have two types of MDBs. One listening to a JBoss queue and one listening to WS MQ queue. My ultimate goal is to have an MDB listening to a queue X and forward each received messages to a queue Y. I want X to be a JBoss
