You can configure an activation specification that is used
to deploy message-driven beans with a Java™ Connector Architecture
(JCA), also called J2EE Connector (J2C), resource adapter that is
not included as part of the WebSphere® Application Server.
About this task
Use this task if you want to use a message-driven bean
as a listener on a JCA resource adapter other than the default messaging
provider or the WebSphere MQ messaging provider.
Procedure
- Start the administrative console.
- Display the resource adapter.
In the navigation
pane, click adapter_name.
This displays in the content pane a table of properties
for the resource adapter, including links to the types of JCA resource
that it provides.
- Optional: Change the Scope setting
to the scope level at which the activation specification is to be
visible to applications, according to your needs.
- In the content pane, under the Activation specifications
heading, click J2C Activation Specifications.
This lists any existing activation specifications for
the resource adapter.
- Display the properties of the activation specification.
If you want to display an existing activation specification,
click one of the names listed.
Alternatively, if you want to
create a new activation specification, click
New,
then specify the following required properties:
- Name
- Type the name by which the activation specification is known for
administrative purposes. The JNDI name is automatically generated
based on the value for the Name property.
- Message listener type
- Select the message listener type that this activation specification
instance should support. This list is based on the deployment descriptor
of the resource adapter.
Depending on the resource adapter, there can
be additional required properties that you must supply. To provide
values for these properties, click Custom properties.
When creating a new activation specification, you might have to click Apply before
this custom property selection is available.
-
Specify properties for the activation
specification, according to your needs.
- Click OK.
- Save your changes to the master configuration.
