How to use Java JMS with MQseries

Question

I am trying to develop a JMS standalone application to read and write to a Queue on MQSeries. My boss asked me to use pure java JMS (not ibm.m

Answer 1

Typically with JMS you would define the QueueConnectionFactory in your container via whatever configuration mechanism it makes available then add it to the container's JNDI registry. Each container would have it's own methods for doing that (i.e. Tomcat versus WebSphere).

If you want to forgo JNDI, you could create an instance of com.ibm.mq.jms.MQQueueConnectionFactory directly and set the hostname, port, queueManager, and channel properties on it. You can then use that object as you would an instance of javax.jms.QueueConnectionFactory since it implements it.
