Using WebSphere MQ with WebSphere Application Server and the Liberty Profile

Please Note

IBM’s statements regarding its plans, directions, and intent are subject to change or withdrawal without notice at IBM’s sole discretion.

Information regarding potential future products is intended to outline our general product direction and it should not be relied on in making a purchasing decision.

Performance is based on measurements and projections using standard IBM benchmarks in a controlled environment. The actual throughput or performance that any user will experience will vary depending upon many factors, including considerations such as the amount of multiprogramming in the user’s job stream, the I/O configuration, the storage configuration, and the workload processed. Therefore, no assurance can be given that an individual user will achieve results similar to those stated here.

IBM® WebSphere® Application Server


Enterprise standard Java™ Application Server

Highly scalable: single server up to massive network deployment

Web gui and command line interface (wsadmin)

4

Liberty


Lightweight, Developer focussed

Eclipse based: server.xml and WAS Developer Tools

wasdev.net

Bundled in WebSphere Application Server version 8.5.5

5

Version 6 Messaging Architecture

Introducing the IBM® WebSphere® MQ JMS Resource Adapter


wmq.jmsra.rar

8

Why have a Resource Adapter?

Java Enterprise Edition(Java EE)

Java Connector Architecture(JCA)


9

Harnessing the Resource Adapter: WAS


Deployed inside WebSphere Application Server

WAS is shipped with a validated RA

RA can be a different version to the Queue Manager

10

Harnessing the Resource Adapter: Liberty

Supported from Liberty version 8.5.5

Download from IBM Fix Central – search 'Resource Adapter'


<server description="new server">

 <featureManager> <feature>jsp-2.2</feature> <feature>localConnector-1.0</feature> <feature>ejbLite-3.1</feature> <feature>jmsMdb-3.1</feature>

<feature>jndi-1.0</feature>

<feature>wmqJmsClient-1.1</feature>

</featureManager>

<variable name="wmqJmsClient.rar.location" value="C:\MY_RA_FOLDER\wmq.jmsra.rar"/>

</server>

11

Managing the Resource Adapter


Client mode – no configuration necessary

Bindings mode: WAS: set 'native library path' on Resource Adapter

Liberty: <wmqJmsClient nativeLibraryPath="/opt/mqm/java/lib64"/>

Updates to RA: WAS: WAS Fix Packs and iFixes

Liberty: updated download from Fix Central

Version 7 onwards Messaging Architecture

Practical benefits: standardised, well-versioned connections

Practical benefits


Simplified maintenance

Ease of migration

Easier consumption of Multi-Version WMQ

19

High availability with Multi-Instance Queue Managers


WebSphere MQ Automatic Client Reconnect is NOT supported with Java EE Application Servers

Configure WAS to automatically reconnect instead

20

High availability with Multi-Instance Queue Managerswith Activation Specifications


Connection Factory

Connection Name List – host(port) for Active instance, host(port) for standby instance CCDT (Client Channel Definition Table)

Resource Adapter

Reconnection Retry Count – default is 5Reconnection Retry Interval – default is 5 minutes

Activation Specification

Connection Name List – host(port) for Active instance, host(port) for standby instanceStop endpoint if message delivery fails

Number of sequential delivery failures before suspending endpoint

21

High availability with Multi-Instance Queue Managerswith Listener Ports


Connection Factory

Connection Name List – host(port) for Active instance, host(port) for standby instance CCDT (Client Channel Definition Table)

Message Listener Service

Maximum Retries (on listener port) – default is 0Custom property: MAX.RECOVERY.RETRIES – default is 5

Custom property: RECOVERY.RETRY.INTERVAL – default is 60 seconds
