WebSphere MQ With Tomcat : JNDI Property Names

WebSphere MQ JNDI Property Names:

I searched across the web and I didn’t find a single site stating exact JNDI MQ option for setting SSLCipherSuite value. I made this entire list of properties which can be useful for providing wide range of options to MQConnectionFactoty.

WebSphere MQ (IBM MQ) has lot of properties which can be made available from JNDI (Context.XML) entries. IBM MQ uses very specific Names which need to be set in Context XML Resource Entry.

Sample Resource Entry in Context is as below:

<Resource

        CHAN="<Channel Name>"

        HOST="<HostName>"

        PORT="<portNumber>"

        QMGR="<queueManagerName>"

        .

        .

        auth="Container"

       description="MQ JMS Queue Connection Factory"

        factory="com.ibm.mq.jms.MQQueueConnectionFactoryFactory"

        name="jms/ConnectionFactory"

        type="com.ibm.mq.jms.MQQueueConnectionFactory"/>

Below is the list of properties and their meaning.

These properties are very useful while using websphere MQ with Tomcat. This will enable user to get rid of provider specific code in App.

This list doesn’t end here. I will add more properties, as and when I get to know them, I will also add the descriptions as I find them.
