Read this tutorial up till Chapter 8: http://download-llnw.oracle.com/javaee/1.3/jms/tutorial/1_3_1-fcs/doc/jms_tutorialTOC.html

1. Need to use Point-to-Point (PTP)

• PERSISTENT - Data is kept even if there is a failure in transmission
• Session.CLIENT_ACKNOWLEDGE - Client has to manually acknowledge the acceptance of message
• setPriority (0-9) - Determine important messages to be transited first, based on application
• setTimeToLive - Based on application

3. Usage of JNDI and EJB is J2EE standard
4. Message-Driven Bean (MDB) - EJB that can handle connection
5. Distributed Transactions - Helps ensures data integrity
6. JMS admin controls are command lines

Sample coding provided in the link for easier understanding

Studied the JMS concept, configuration and maintenance for JMS on WebLogic(create Queue, JMS server). Faced problem on how to execute the sample java code on the app server. EAR? Will investigate further on how to deploy message driven bean.

You can access this site for the WebLogic. You are free to deploy and test on it.

The tutorial at http://download-llnw.oracle.com/javaee/1.3/jms/tutorial/1_3_1-fcs/doc/jms_tutorialTOC.html is referring to Java EE version 1.3. It is outdated. The j2ee commands and "deploytool" is not available anymore in the new version of java EE sdk. I'm not sure whether the sample code provided is still relevant to the newer version which probably uses more annotations.

Very limited resource and information is available on how to create and deploy EJB bean to the server, not to mention about JMS.

Downloaded and installed Java EE 5 SDK which is bundled with Glassfish app server. Downloaded and installed JMS SDK. Only ant script is provided to generate EAR file from the samples, which fail when I tried to run.

Try to install NetBeans now as the JAVA EE 5 official guide is referring to NetBeans directly.

Successfully run the sample code from http://download.oracle.com/javaee/5/tutorial/doc/bncgw.html on glassfish app server.

Both the producer and consumer is Enterprise Java Bean(EJB). I found out that EJB makes it easier to act as a web service interface.

The generated EAR file fail to deploy on Weblogic. Need to look into weblogic documentation.

Checking out best programming practices for WebLogic JMS programs. Link:

Hopefully can get a connection to WebLogic soon

I found out that the WebLogic server we are using is version 9.2. Its Java Enterprise version is 1.4 which is an older version and does not support the EJB features that I'm using.

Already asked Hazli to setup WebLogic version 10(Java EE 5). It's ready now. I can deploy the EAR file successfully. Need further testing though.

Can connect to WebLogic, can send, browse and receive messages. There are sample coding on the WebLogic server:

C:\ESB250\weblogic92\samples\server\examples\src\examples\jms

Now will implement EJBs.

Postponed our date to go to Maybank.
New date: August 19 to 27, 2010

This article talk about the EJB for serialization
http://www.jguru.com/faq/view.jsp?EID=301817

Study more about EJB. Found an ebook but it's too big to upload here, can request from me in the future.

Trying to develop JMS producer EJB in Eclipse. Decided to make it a webservice client for easier testing. But discovered that Weblogic requires further compilation(tools provided with weblogic) in order for the EJB web service to work.

Hazli will download the weblogic 10 windows version for me.

Tested the Webservice stateless EJB sample code. Works in Glassfish but not in WebLogic.

Found out that for WebLogic, its ant script need to be used to process the files before it can be recognized by the app server. Successfully run a simple webservice call on WebLogic.

Now going to combine the JMS sample code and webservice call together.

Some links to share:

Using Eclipse to create EJBs easily, project design and management. Tutorial is long, but worth going through for design concept and methodology. Also introduces soapUI for testing with SOAP messages.
