14.5. Using WSDL to configure JMS

14.5.1. JMS WSDL Extension Namespance

The WSDL extensions for defining a JMS endpoint are defined in the namespace http://cxf.apache.org/transports/jms. In order to use the JMS extensions you will need to add the line shown in Example 14.5, “JMS WSDL extension namespace” to the definitions element of your contract.

Example 14.5. JMS WSDL extension namespace

xmlns:jms="http://cxf.apache.org/transports/jms"

14.5.2. Basic JMS configuration

Overview

The JMS address information is provided using the jms:address element and its child, the jms:JMSNamingProperties element. The jms:address element’s attributes specify the information needed to identify the JMS broker and the destination. The jms:JMSNamingProperties element specifies the Java properties used to connect to the JNDI service.
Important
Information specified using the JMS feature will override the information in the endpoint's WSDL file.

Specifying the JMS address

The basic configuration for a JMS endpoint is done by using a jms:address element as the child of your service’s port element. The jms:address element used in WSDL is identical to the one used in the configuration file. Its attributes are listed in Table 14.2, “JMS endpoint attributes”.

Table 14.2. JMS endpoint attributes

AttributeDescription
destinationStyle Specifies if the JMS destination is a JMS queue or a JMS topic.
jndiConnectionFactoryName Specifies the JNDI name bound to the JMS connection factory to use when connecting to the JMS destination.
jmsDestinationName Specifies the JMS name of the JMS destination to which requests are sent.
jmsReplyDestinationName Specifies the JMS name of the JMS destinations where replies are sent. This attribute allows you to use a user defined destination for replies. For more details see Section 14.6, “Using a Named Reply Destination”.
jndiDestinationName Specifies the JNDI name bound to the JMS destination to which requests are sent.
jndiReplyDestinationName Specifies the JNDI name bound to the JMS destinations where replies are sent. This attribute allows you to use a user defined destination for replies. For more details see Section 14.6, “Using a Named Reply Destination”.
connectionUserName Specifies the user name to use when connecting to a JMS broker.
connectionPassword Specifies the password to use when connecting to a JMS broker.
The jms:address WSDL element uses a jms:JMSNamingProperties child element to specify additional information needed to connect to a JNDI provider.

Specifying JNDI properties

To increase interoperability with JMS and JNDI providers, the jms:address element has a child element, jms:JMSNamingProperties, that allows you to specify the values used to populate the properties used when connecting to the JNDI provider. The jms:JMSNamingProperties element has two attributes: name and value. name specifies the name of the property to set. value attribute specifies the value for the specified property. jms:JMSNamingProperties element can also be used for specification of provider specific properties.
The following is a list of common JNDI properties that can be set:
  1. java.naming.factory.initial
  2. java.naming.provider.url
  3. java.naming.factory.object
  4. java.naming.factory.state
  5. java.naming.factory.url.pkgs
  6. java.naming.dns.url
  7. java.naming.authoritative
  8. java.naming.batchsize
  9. java.naming.referral
  10. java.naming.security.protocol
  11. java.naming.security.authentication
  12. java.naming.security.principal
  13. java.naming.security.credentials
  14. java.naming.language
  15. java.naming.applet
For more details on what information to use in these attributes, check your JNDI provider’s documentation and consult the Java API reference material.

Example

Example 14.6, “JMS WSDL port specification” shows an example of a JMS WSDL port specification.

Example 14.6. JMS WSDL port specification

<service name="JMSService">
  <port binding="tns:Greeter_SOAPBinding" name="SoapPort">
    <jms:address jndiConnectionFactoryName="ConnectionFactory"
                 jndiDestinationName="dynamicQueues/test.Celtix.jmstransport" >
      <jms:JMSNamingProperty name="java.naming.factory.initial"
                             value="org.activemq.jndi.ActiveMQInitialContextFactory" />
      <jms:JMSNamingProperty name="java.naming.provider.url"
                             value="tcp://localhost:61616" />
    </jms:address>
  </port>
</service>

14.5.3. JMS client configuration

Overview

JMS consumer endpoints specify the type of messages they use. JMS consumer endpoint can use either a JMS ByteMessage or a JMS TextMessage.
When using an ByteMessage the consumer endpoint uses a byte[] as the method for storing data into and retrieving data from the JMS message body. When messages are sent, the message data, including any formating information, is packaged into a byte[] and placed into the message body before it is placed on the wire. When messages are received, the consumer endpoint will attempt to unmarshall the data stored in the message body as if it were packed in a byte[].
When using a TextMessage, the consumer endpoint uses a string as the method for storing and retrieving data from the message body. When messages are sent, the message information, including any format-specific information, is converted into a string and placed into the JMS message body. When messages are received the consumer endpoint will attempt to unmarshall the data stored in the JMS message body as if it were packed into a string.
When native JMS applications interact with Apache CXF consumers, the JMS application is responsible for interpreting the message and the formatting information. For example, if the Apache CXF contract specifies that the binding used for a JMS endpoint is SOAP, and the messages are packaged as TextMessage, the receiving JMS application will get a text message containing all of the SOAP envelope information.

Specifying the message type

The type of messages accepted by a JMS consumer endpoint is configured using the optional jms:client element. The jms:client element is a child of the WSDL port element and has one attribute:

Table 14.3. JMS Client WSDL Extensions

messageType Specifies how the message data will be packaged as a JMS message. text specifies that the data will be packaged as a TextMessage. binary specifies that the data will be packaged as an ByteMessage.

Example

Example 14.7, “WSDL for a JMS consumer endpoint” shows the WSDL for configuring a JMS consumer endpoint.

Example 14.7. WSDL for a JMS consumer endpoint

<service name="JMSService">
  <port binding="tns:Greeter_SOAPBinding" name="SoapPort">
    <jms:address jndiConnectionFactoryName="ConnectionFactory"
                 jndiDestinationName="dynamicQueues/test.Celtix.jmstransport" >
      <jms:JMSNamingProperty name="java.naming.factory.initial"
                             value="org.activemq.jndi.ActiveMQInitialContextFactory" />
      <jms:JMSNamingProperty name="java.naming.provider.url"
                             value="tcp://localhost:61616" />
    </jms:address>
    <jms:client messageType="binary" />
  </port>
</service>

14.5.4. JMS provider configuration

Overview

JMS provider endpoints have a number of behaviors that are configurable. These include:
  • how messages are correlated
  • the use of durable subscriptions
  • if the service uses local JMS transactions
  • the message selectors used by the endpoint

Specifying the configuration

Provider endpoint behaviors are configured using the optional jms:server element. The jms:server element is a child of the WSDL wsdl:port element and has the following attributes:

Table 14.4. JMS provider endpoint WSDL extensions

AttributeDescription
useMessageIDAsCorrealationID Specifies whether JMS will use the message ID to correlate messages. The default is false.
durableSubscriberName Specifies the name used to register a durable subscription.
messageSelector Specifies the string value of a message selector to use. For more information on the syntax used to specify message selectors, see the JMS 1.1 specification.
transactional Specifies whether the local JMS broker will create transactions around message processing. The default is false. [a]
[a] Currently, setting the transactional attribute to true is not supported by the runtime.

Example

Example 14.8, “WSDL for a JMS provider endpoint” shows the WSDL for configuring a JMS provider endpoint.
