Scope

Specify the scope at which the extended messaging provider is defined. The value represents the location of the configuration file.

Name

Enter the name of the input port. This field requires a string value.

JNDI name

Enter the name of the Java Naming and Directory Interface (JNDI) for the input port. This field requires a string value.

Description

Enter a description of the input port. This field accepts a string value.

The Description field is optional.

Category

Enter a category string to use when classifying or grouping the input port. The value must be a string between 1 and 30 ASCII characters in length.

The Category field is optional.

JMS Connection Factory JNDI Name

Enter the JNDI name for the Java Message Service (JMS) connection factory used by the input port. The value must be a string (for example, jms/connFactory1).

JMS Destination JNDI Name

Enter the JNDI name for the JMS destination used by the input port. The value must be a string (for example, jms/destn1).

JMS acknowledgment Mode

Set the JMS mode used to acknowledge messages. This property is used only for message-driven beans that use bean-managed transaction demarcation (for example, the transaction type is set to Bean).

Select one of the following values:
  • Auto Acknowledge: The session automatically acknowledges a message in either of the following cases:
    • when the session successfully returns from a call to receive a message
    • when the session calls a message listener to process the message and receives a successful response from that listener
  • Dups OK Acknowledge: The session acknowledges only the delivery of messages. This can result in the delivery of duplicate messages if JMS fails.

The default mode is Auto Acknowledge.

Destination Type

Specify the JMS resource type. Set the resource type to one of the following values:
  • Queue: The receiver bean receives messages from a queue destination.
  • Topic: The receiver bean receives messages from a topic destination.

The default value is Queue.

Subscription Durability

Specify whether a JMS topic subscription is durable by using one of the following values:
  • Durable: A subscriber registers a durable subscription with a unique identity that is retained by JMS. Subsequent subscriber objects with the same identity resume the subscription in the state in which it was left by the previous subscriber. If there is no active subscriber for a durable subscription, JMS retains the subscription's messages until they are received or they expire.
  • NonDurable: Non-durable subscriptions last for the lifetime of their subscriber. A client sees the messages published on a topic only while its subscriber is active. If the subscriber is inactive, the client misses the messages published on its topic.
The default value is NonDurable.

This field is required only if the JMS destination type is a topic.

Enter the JNDI name of the JMS connection factory that is used for replies. This field requires a string value.

Reply JMS Destination JNDI Name

Enter the JNDI name of the JMS destination that is used for replies. This field requires a string value.
