Using MQXAQueueConnectionFactory in Tomcat

Using Atomikos / XA transaction with your connection is not a bad idea sometimes. Below Connection Factory resource will give a nice idea about tomcat JNDI entry for

MQXAQueueConnectionFactory.

 

<Resource

                name="jms/MQCF"

                auth="Container"

                type="com.atomikos.jms.AtomikosConnectionFactoryBean"

                factory="com.atomikos.tomcat.EnhancedTomcatAtomikosBeanFactory"

                uniqueResourceName="MQPutQCFXA_MQSeries_XA_RMI"

                xaConnectionFactoryClassName="com.ibm.mq.jms.MQXAQueueConnectionFactory"

                xaProperties.hostName="YOUR_HOST"

                xaProperties.port="XXXX"

                xaProperties.channel=" CHANNEL "

                xaProperties.queueManager=" YOUR _QMGR"

                maxPoolSize="3"

                minPoolSize="1" />

I see a common exception while connecting with XA Connection factory:

Caused by: com.ibm.mq.jmqi.JmqiException: CC=2;RC=2495;AMQ8568: The native JNI library 'mqjbnd' was not found. [3=mqjbnd]
    at com.ibm.mq.jmqi.local.LocalMQ$1.run(LocalMQ.java:252)
    at java.security.AccessController.doPrivileged(Native Method)
    at com.ibm.mq.jmqi.local.LocalMQ.initialise_inner(LocalMQ.java:216)

This occurs when you are trying to connect to local binding. You can change that to client connection by making transport type as ‘1’.

xaProperties.transportType="1"

Just adding this property in Resource entry should resolve the issue. Please post questions if any.

I will add ActiveMQ XA Connection factory example soon.
