MQSeries Using Java

Chapter 1. Getting started

This chapter gives an overview of MQSeries classes for Java and MQSeries classes for Java Message Service, and their uses.

What is MQSeries classes for Java?

MQSeries classes for Java (MQ base Java) allows a program written in the Java programming language to: v Connect to MQSeries as an MQSeries client v Connect directly to an MQSeries server It enables Java applets, applications, and servlets to issue calls and queries to MQSeries. This gives access to mainframe and legacy applications, typically over the Internet, without necessarily having any other MQSeries code on the client machine. With MQ base Java, the user of an Internet terminal can become a true participant in transactions, rather than just a giver and receiver of information.

What is MQSeries classes for Java Message Service?

MQSeries classes for Java Message Service (MQ JMS) is a set of Java classes that implement Suns Java Message Service (JMS) interfaces to enable JMS programs to access MQSeries systems. Both the point-to-point and publish-and-subscribe models of JMS are supported. The use of MQ JMS as the API to write MQSeries applications has a number of benefits. Some advantages derive from JMS being an open standard with multiple implementations. Other advantages result from additional features that are present in MQ JMS, but not in MQ base Java. Benefits arising from the use of an open standard include: v The protection of investment, both in skills and application code v The availability of people skilled in JMS application programming v The ability to plug in different JMS implementations to fit different requirements More information about the benefits of the JMS API is on Suns Web site at http://java.sun.com. The extra function provided over MQ base Java includes: v Asynchronous message delivery v Message selectors v Support for publish/subscribe messaging v Structured message classes

Who should use MQ Java?

If your enterprise fits any of the following scenarios, you can gain significant advantage by using MQSeries classes for Java and MQSeries classes for Java Message Service: v A medium or large enterprise that is introducing intranet-based client/server solutions. Here, Internet technology provides low cost easy access to global

communications, while MQSeries connectivity provides high integrity with assured delivery and time independence. v A medium or large enterprise with a need for reliable business-to-business communications with partner enterprises. Here again, the Internet provides low-cost easy access to global communications, while MQSeries connectivity provides high integrity with assured delivery and time independence. v A medium or large enterprise that wishes to provide access from the public Internet to some of its enterprise applications. Here, the Internet provides global reach at a low cost, while MQSeries connectivity provides high integrity through the queuing paradigm. In addition to low cost, the business can achieve improved customer satisfaction through 24 hour a day availability, fast response, and improved accuracy. v An Internet Service provider, or other Value Added Network provider. These companies can exploit the low cost and easy communications provided by the Internet. They can also add value with the high integrity provided by MQSeries connectivity. An Internet Service provider that exploits MQSeries can immediately acknowledge receipt of input data from a Web browser, guarantee delivery, and provide an easy way for the user of the Web browser to monitor the status of the message. MQSeries and MQSeries classes for Java Message Service provide an excellent infrastructure for access to enterprise applications and for development of complex Web applications. A service request from a Web browser can be queued then processed when possible, thus allowing a timely response to be sent to the end user, regardless of system loading. By placing this queue close to the user in network terms, the load on the network does not impact the timeliness of the response. Also, the transactional nature of MQSeries messaging means that a simple request from the browser can be expanded safely into a sequence of individual back-end processes in a transactional manner. MQSeries classes for Java also enables application developers to exploit the power of the Java programming language to create applets and applications that can run on any platform that supports the Java runtime environment. These factors combine to reduce the development time for multi-platform MQSeries applications significantly. Also, if there are enhancements to applets in the future, end users automatically pick these up as the applet code is downloaded.

Connection options
Programmable options allow MQ Java to connect to MQSeries in either of the following ways: v As an MQSeries client using Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) v In bindings mode, connecting directly to MQSeries MQ base Java on Windows NT can also connect using VisiBroker for Java. Table 1 on page 5 shows the connection modes that can be used for each platform.

yes yes yes yes no yes

Notes: 1. HP-UX Java bindings support is available only for HP-UXv11 systems running the POSIX draft 10 pthreaded version of MQSeries. You also require the HP-UX Developers Kit for Java 1.1.7 (JDK), Release C.01.17.01 or above. 2. On HP-UXv10.20, Linux, Windows 95, and Windows 98, only TCP/IP client connectivity is supported. The following sections describe these options in more detail.

Client connection
To use MQ Java as an MQSeries client, you can install it either on the MQSeries server machine, which may also contain a Web server, or on a separate machine. If you install MQ Java on the same machine as a Web server, an advantage is that you can download and run MQSeries client applications on machines that do not have MQ Java installed locally. Wherever you choose to install the client, you can run it in three different modes: From within any Java-enabled Web browser In this mode, the locations of the MQSeries queue managers that can be accessed may be constrained by the security restrictions of the browser that is used. Using an appletviewer To use this method, you must have the Java Development Kit (JDK) or Java Runtime Environment (JRE) installed on the client machine. As a standalone Java program or in a Web application server To use this method, you must have the Java Development Kit (JDK) or Java Runtime Environment (JRE) installed on the client machine.

Using VisiBroker for Java

On the Windows platform, connection using VisiBroker is provided as an alternative to using the standard MQSeries client protocols. This support is
Chapter 1. Getting started

Connections
provided by VisiBroker for Java in conjunction with Netscape Navigator, and requires VisiBroker for Java and an MQSeries object server on the MQSeries server machine. A suitable object server is provided with MQ base Java.

Bindings connection
When used in bindings mode, MQ Java uses the Java Native Interface (JNI) to call directly into the existing queue manager API, rather than communicating through a network. This provides better performance for MQSeries applications than using network connections. Unlike the client mode, applications that are written using the bindings mode cannot be downloaded as applets. To use the bindings connection, MQ Java must be installed on the MQSeries server.

Prerequisites
To run MQ base Java, you require the following software: v MQSeries for the server platform you wish to use. v Java Development Kit (JDK) for the server platform. v Java Development Kit, or Java Runtime Environment (JRE), or Java-enabled Web browser for client platforms. (See Client connection on page 5.) v VisiBroker for Java (only if running on Windows with a VisiBroker connection). v For z/OS & OS/390, OS/390 Version 2 Release 9 or higher, or z/OS, with UNIX System Services (USS). v For OS/400, the AS/400 Developer Kit for Java, 5769-JV1, and the Qshell Interpreter, OS/400 (5769-SS1) Option 30. To use the MQ JMS administration tool (see Chapter 5. Using the MQ JMS administration tool on page 31), you require the following additional software: v At least one of the following service provider packages: Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) - ldap.jar, providerutil.jar. File system - fscontext.jar, providerutil.jar. v A Java Naming and Directory Service (JNDI) service provider. This is the resource that stores physical representations of the administered objects. Users of MQ JMS will probably use an LDAP server for this purpose, but the tool also supports the use of the file system context service provider. If an LDAP server is used, it must be configured to store JMS objects. For information to assist with this configuration, refer to Appendix C. LDAP schema definition for storing Java objects on page 353. To use the XOpen/XA facilities of MQ JMS, you require MQSeries V5.2.

Installing on z/OS & OS/390

This section describes how to install MQ base Java on z/OS & OS/390. 1. Select an installation directory for the product in a USS HFS (for example, /usr/lpp). If this directory is not in your home directory, you may need appropriate authority. 2. Copy the file ma88_zos.tar.Z into your home directory in USS. 3. Change directory to your selected installation directory; for example: cd /usr/lpp 4. Enter the following command:
tar -xozf /ma88_zos.tar.Z

This creates and populates a directory named mqm in the current directory.

Installing on iSeries & AS/400

This section describes how to install MQ Java on AS/400. 1. Copy the file ma88_iSeries.zip to a directory on your PC. 2. Uncompress the file using InfoZips Unzip facility. This creates the file ma88_iSeries.savf. 3. Create a save file called MA88 in a suitable library on the iSeries or AS/400; for example, in the QGPL library:
CRTSAVF FILE(QGPL/MA88)

4. Transfer ma88_iSeries.savf into this save file as a binary image. If you use FTP to do this, the put command should be similar to:
PUT C:\TEMP\MA88_ISERIES.SAVF QGPL/MA88

5. Install MQSeries classes for Java, product number 5648C60, using RSTLICPGM:
RSTLICPGM LICPGM(5648C60) DEV(*SAVF) SAVF(QGPL/MA88)

6. Delete the save file created in step 3:

Installing on Linux
This section describes how to install MQ Java on Linux. For Linux, there are two installation files available, ma88_linux.tgz and MQSeriesJava-5.2.0-1.noarch.rpm. Each file provides an identical installation.
Chapter 2. Installation procedures

Installing on Linux
If you have root access to the target system, or use a Red Hat Package Manager (RPM) database to install packages, use MQSeriesJava-5.2.0-1.noarch.rpm. If you do not have root access to the target system, or the target system does not have RPM installed, use ma88_linux.tgz. To install using ma88_linux.tgz: 1. Select an installation directory for the product (for example, /opt). If this directory is not in your home directory, you may need to log in as root. 2. Copy the file ma88_linux.tgz into your home directory. 3. Change directory to your selected installation directory, for example:
cd /opt

4. Enter the following command:

tar -xpzf /ma88_linux.tgz

This creates and populates a directory named mqm in the current directory (for example, /opt). To install using MQSeriesJava-5.2.0-1.noarch.rpm: 1. Log in as root. 2. Copy MQSeriesJava-5.2.0-1.noarch.rpm into a working directory. 3. Enter the following command:
rpm -i MQSeriesJava-5.2.0-1.noarch.rpm

This installs the product to /opt/mqm/. It is possible to install to a different path (please refer to your RPM documentation for further details).

Installing on Windows
This section describes how to install MQ Java on Windows. 1. Create an empty directory called tmp and make it the current directory. 2. Copy the file ma88_win.zip to this directory. 3. Uncompress ma88_win.zip using InfoZips Unzip facility. 4. Run setup.exe from this directory and follow the prompts on the resulting windows. Note: If you wish to install MQ base Java only, select the relevant options at this stage.

Notes: 1. To use MQSeries Bindings for Java on OS/400, ensure that the library QMQMJAVA is in your library list. 2. Ensure that you append the MQSeries variables and do not overwrite any of the existing system environment variables. If you overwrite existing system environment variables, the application might fail during compilation or at runtime.

Web server configuration

If you install MQSeries Java on a Web server, you can download and run MQSeries Java applications on machines that do not have MQSeries Java installed locally. To make the MQSeries Java files accessible to your Web server, you must set up your Web server configuration to point to the directory where the client is installed. Consult your Web server documentation for details of how to configure this. | | Note: On z/OS & OS/390, the installed classes do not support client connection and cannot be usefully downloaded to clients. However, jar files from another platform can be transferred to z/OS or OS/390 and served to clients.

MQSeries Using Java

Chapter 3. Using MQSeries classes for Java (MQ base Java)

This chapter describes: v How to configure your system to run the sample applet and application programs to verify your MQ base Java installation. v How to modify the procedures to run your own programs. | | Remember to check the README file installed with the MQ Java code for later or more specific information for your environment. The procedures depend on the connection option you want to use. Follow the instructions in the section that is appropriate for your requirements.

Using the sample applet to verify the TCP/IP client

| | | | | | | | | | MQ base Java includes an installation verification applet, mqjavac.html. You can use the applet to verify the TCP/IP connected client mode of MQ base Java except on the z/OS & OS/390 platform. On the z/OS & OS/390 platform applets are not supported, so you must use the sample application for verification instead. For instructions on how to do this, see Verifying with the sample application on page 16. In addition, the standard security settings for applets in Java 1.2 and higher require that all referenced classes are loaded from the same location as the applet you wish to run. For information on ways to get applets that use MQ Java to work, see Appendix F. Using MQ Java in applets with Java 1.2 or later on page 367. The applet connects to a given queue manager, exercises all the MQSeries calls, and produces diagnostic messages if there are any failures. You can run the applet from the appletviewer supplied with your JDK. The appletviewer can access a queue manager on any host. In all cases, if the applet does not complete successfully, follow the advice given in the diagnostic messages and try to run the applet again.

Using the sample applet on iSeries or AS/400

The OS/400 operating system does not have a native Graphical User Interface (GUI). To run the sample applet, you need to use the Remote Abstract Window Toolkit for Java (AWT), or the Class Broker for Java (CBJ), on graphics capable hardware. You can also verify the client from the command line (see Verifying with the sample application on page 16).

Configuring your queue manager to accept client connections

Use the following procedures to configure your queue manager to accept incoming connection requests from the clients.

Copyright IBM Corp. 1997, 2001

Verifying client mode

TCP/IP client
1. Define a server connection channel using the following procedures: | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | For the iSeries or AS/400 platform: a. Start your queue manager by using the STRMQM command. b. Define a sample channel called JAVA.CHANNEL by issuing the following command:
CRTMQMCHL CHLNAME(JAVA.CHANNEL) CHLTYPE(*SVRCN) MQMNAME(QMGRNAME) MCAUSERID(SOMEUSERID) TEXT('Sample channel for MQSeries Client for Java')

where QMGRNAME is the name of your queue manager, and SOMEUSERID is an iSeries or AS/400 user ID with appropriate authority to the MQSeries resources. For z/OS or OS/390 platforms: Note: You must have the Client attachment feature installed on your target queue manager in order to connect via TCP/IP. a. Start your queue manager by using the START QMGR command. b. Define a sample channel called JAVA.CHANNEL by issuing the following command:
DEF CHL('JAVA.CHANNEL') CHLTYPE(SVRCONN) TRPTYPE(TCP) DESCR('Sample channel for MQSeries Client for Java')

For other platforms: a. Start your queue manager by using the strmqm command. b. Type the following command to start the runmqsc program:
runmqsc

c. Define a sample channel called JAVA.CHANNEL by issuing the following command:

DEF CHL('JAVA.CHANNEL') CHLTYPE(SVRCONN) TRPTYPE(TCP) MCAUSER(' ') + DESCR('Sample channel for MQSeries Client for Java')

2. Start a listener program with the following commands: For OS/2 and NT operating systems: Issue the command:
runmqlsr -t tcp [-m QMNAME] -p 1414

Note: If you use the default queue manager, you can omit the -m option. Using VisiBroker for Java on the Windows NT operating system: Start the IIOP (Internet Inter-ORB Protocol) server with the following command:
java com.ibm.mq.iiop.Server

Note: To stop the IIOP server, issue the following command:

java com.ibm.mq.iiop.samples.AdministrationApplet shutdown

For UNIX operating systems: Configure the inetd daemon, so that the inetd starts the MQSeries channels. See MQSeries Clients for instructions on how to do this. For the OS/400 operating system: Issue the command:
STRMQMLSR MQMNAME(QMGRNAME)

MQSeries Using Java

Verifying client mode

where QMGRNAME is the name of your queue manager. | | | | | For the z/OS or OS/390 operating system: a. Ensure your channel initiator is started. If not, start it by issuing the START CHINIT command. b. Start the listener by issuing the command START LISTENER TRPTYPE(TCP) PORT(1414)

Running from appletviewer

To use this method, you must have the Java Development Kit (JDK) installed on your machine. Local installation procedure 1. Change to your samples directory for your language. 2. Type:
appletviewer mqjavac.html

Web server installation procedure: Enter the command:

appletviewer http://Web.server.host/MQJavaclient/mqjavac.html

Notes: 1. On some platforms, the command is applet, and not appletviewer. 2. On some platforms, you may need to select Properties from the Applet menu at the top left of your screen, and then set Network Access to Unrestricted. By using this technique, you should be able to connect to any queue manager running on any host to which you have TCP/IP access.

Customizing the verification applet

The mqjavac.html file includes some optional parameters. These parameters allow you to modify the applet to suit your requirements. Each parameter is defined in a line of HTML, which looks like the following:
<!PARAM name="xxx" value="yyy">

To specify a parameter value, remove the initial exclamation mark, and edit the value as desired. You can specify the following parameters: hostname port channel queueManager The value to display initially in the queue manager edit box. userID password trace Uses the specified user ID when connecting to the queue manager. Uses the specified password when connecting to the queue manager. Causes MQ base Java to write a trace log. Use this option only at the direction of IBM service. The value to display initially in the hostname edit box. The value to display initially in the port number edit box. The value to display initially in the channel edit box.

Chapter 3. Using MQSeries classes for Java (MQ base Java)

Installation verification program

Verifying with the sample application

An installation verification program, MQIVP, is supplied with MQ base Java. You can use this application to test all the connection modes of MQ base Java. The program prompts for a number of choices and other data to determine which connection mode you want to verify. Use the following procedure to verify your installation: 1. To test a client connection: a. Configure your queue manager, as described in Configuring your queue manager to accept client connections on page 13. b. Carry out the rest of this procedure on the client machine. To test a bindings connection, carry out the rest of this procedure on the MQSeries server machine. 2. Change to your samples directory. 3. Type:
java MQIVP

The program tries to: a. Connect to, and disconnect from, the named queue manager. b. c. 4. At 5. At Open, put, get, and, close the system default local queue. Return a message if the operations are successful. prompt (1), leave the default MQSeries. prompt (2): v To use a TCP/IP connection, enter an MQSeries server hostname. v To use native connection (bindings mode), leave the field blank. (Do not enter a name.)

Here is an example of the prompts and responses you may see. The actual prompts and your responses depend on your MQSeries network.
Please enter the type of connection (MQSeries) Please enter the IP address of the MQSeries server Please enter the port to connect to Please enter the server connection channel name Please enter the queue manager name Success: Connected to queue manager. Success: Opened SYSTEM.DEFAULT.LOCAL.QUEUE Success: Put a message to SYSTEM.DEFAULT.LOCAL.QUEUE Success: Got a message from SYSTEM.DEFAULT.LOCAL.QUEUE Success: Closed SYSTEM.DEFAULT.LOCAL.QUEUE Success: Disconnected from queue manager Tests complete SUCCESS: This transport is functioning correctly. Press Enter to continue... : : : : : (MQSeries)(1) myhost(2) (1414)(3) JAVA.CHANNEL(3)

Notes: 1. If you choose server connection, you do not see the prompts marked (3). 2. On z/OS & OS/390, leave the field blank at prompt (2). 3. On OS/400, you can run the command java MQIVP only from the Qshell interactive interface (the Qshell is option 30 of OS/400, 5769-SS1). Alternatively, you can run the application by using the CL command RUNJVA CLASS(MQIVP). 4. To use the MQSeries bindings for Java on OS/400, you must ensure that the library QMQMJAVA is in your library list.

MQSeries Using Java

Installation verification program

Using VisiBroker connectivity

If you are using VisiBroker, the procedures described in Configuring your queue manager to accept client connections on page 13 are not required. To test an installation that is using VisiBroker, use the procedures described in Verifying with the sample application on page 16, but at prompt (1), type VisiBroker, using the exact case.

Running your own MQ base Java programs

To run your own Java applets or applications, use the procedures described for the verification programs, substituting your application name in place of mqjavac.html or MQIVP. For information on writing MQ base Java applications and applets, see Part 2. Programming with MQ base Java on page 45.

Solving MQ base Java problems

If a program does not complete successfully, run the installation verification applet or installation verification program, and follow the advice given in the diagnostic messages. Both of these programs are described in Chapter 3. Using MQSeries classes for Java (MQ base Java) on page 13. If the problems continue and you need to contact the IBM service team, you may be asked to turn on the trace facility. The method to do this depends on whether you are running in client mode or bindings mode. Refer to the following sections for the appropriate procedures for your system.

Tracing the sample applet

To run trace with the sample applet, edit the mqjavac.html file. Find the following line:
<!PARAM name="trace" value="1">

Remove the exclamation mark and change the value from 1 to a number from 1 to 5, depending on the level of detail required. (The greater the number, the more information is gathered.) The line should then read:
<PARAM name="trace" value="n">

where n is a number between 1 and 5. The trace output appears in the Java console or in your Web browsers Java log file.

Tracing the sample application

To trace the MQIVP program, enter the following:
java MQIVP -trace n

where n is a number between 1 and 5, depending on the level of detail required. (The greater the number, the more information is gathered.) For more information about how to use trace, see Tracing MQ base Java programs on page 70.

Error messages

Error messages
Here are some of the more common error messages that you may see: Unable to identify local host IP address The server is not connected to the network. Recommended Action: Connect the server to the network and retry. Unable to load file gatekeeper.ior This failure can occur on a Web server deploying VisiBroker applets, when the gatekeeper.ior file is not located in the correct place. Recommended Action: Restart the VisiBroker Gatekeeper from the directory in which the applet is deployed. The gatekeeper file will be written to this directory. Failure: Missing software, may be MQSeries, or VBROKER_ADM variable This failure occurs in the MQIVP sample program if your Java software environment is incomplete. Recommended Action: On the client, ensure that the VBROKER_ADM environment variable is set to address the VisiBroker for Java administration (adm) directory, and retry. On the server, ensure that the most recent version of MQ base Java is installed, and retry. NO_IMPLEMENT There is a communications problem involving VisiBroker Smart Agents. Recommended Action: Consult your VisiBroker documentation. COMM_FAILURE There is a communications problem involving VisiBroker Smart Agents. Recommended Action: Use the same port number for all VisiBroker Smart Agents and retry. Consult your VisiBroker documentation. MQRC_ADAPTER_NOT_AVAILABLE If you get this error when you attempt to use VisiBroker, probably the JAVA class org.omg.CORBA.ORB cannot be found in the CLASSPATH. Recommended Action: Ensure that your CLASSPATH statement includes the path to the VisiBroker vbjorb.jar and vbjapp.jar files. MQRC_ADAPTER_CONN_LOAD_ERROR If you see this error while running on OS/390, ensure that the MQSeries SCSQANLE, and SCSQAUTH datasets are in your STEPLIB statement.

MQSeries Using Java

Chapter 4. Using MQSeries classes for Java Message Service (MQ JMS)
This chapter describes the following tasks: v How to set up your system to use the Test and sample programs v How to run the point-to-point Installation Verification Test (IVT) program to verify your MQSeries classes for Java Message Service installation v How to run the sample Publish/Subscribe Installation Verification Test (PSIVT) program to verify your Publish/Subscribe installation v How to run your own programs

Post installation setup

| | Note: Remember to check the README file installed with the MQ Java programs for information that may supersede this book. To make all the necessary resources available to MQ JMS programs, you need to update the following system variables: Classpath Successful operation of JMS programs requires a number of Java packages to be available to the JVM. You must specify these on the classpath after you have obtained and installed the necessary packages. Add the following .jar files to the classpath: v com.ibm.mq.jar v com.ibm.mqjms.jar v connector.jar v jms.jar | | v v v v jndi.jar1 jta.jar ldap.jar1 providerutil.jar

Environment variables There are a number of scripts in the bin subdirectory of the MQ JMS installation. These are intended for use as convenient shortcuts for a number of common actions. Many of these scripts assume that the environment variable MQ_JAVA_INSTALL_PATH is defined, and that it points to the directory in which MQ JMS is installed. It is not mandatory to set this variable, but if you do not set it, you must edit the scripts in the bin directory accordingly. On Windows NT, you can set the classpath and new environment variable by using the Environment tab of the System Properties. On UNIX, these would

1. For z/OS & OS/390, use ibmjndi.jar and jndi.jar from /usr/lpp/ldap/lib instead of jndi.jar and ldap.jar. These files are supplied with the operating system. Copyright IBM Corp. 1997, 2001

Setup
normally be set from each users logon scripts. On any platform, you can choose to use scripts to maintain different classpaths and other environment variables for different projects.

Additional setup for Publish/Subscribe mode

Before you can use the MQ JMS implementation of JMS Publish/Subscribe, some additional setup is required: Ensure that the Broker is Running To verify that the MQSeries Publish/Subscribe broker is installed and is running, use the command:
dspmqbrk -m MY.QUEUE.MANAGER

where MY.QUEUE.MANAGER is the name of the queue manager on which the broker is running. If the broker is running, a message similar to the following is displayed:
MQSeries message broker for queue manager MY.QUEUE.MANAGER running.

If the operating system reports that it cannot run the dspmqbrk command, ensure that the MQSeries Publish/Subscribe broker is installed properly. If the operating system reports that the broker is not active, start it using the command:
strmqbrk -m MY.QUEUE.MANAGER

Create the MQ JMS System Queues For the MQ JMS Publish/Subscribe implementation to work correctly, a number of system queues must be created. A script is supplied, in the bin subdirectory of the MQ JMS installation, to assist with this task. To use the script, enter the following commands: | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | For iSeries & AS/400: 1. Copy the script from the integrated file system to a native file system library using a command similar to
CPYFRMSTMF FROMSTMF('/QIBM/ProdData/mqm/java/bin/MQJMS_PSQ.mqsc') TOMBR('/QSYS.LIB/QGPL.LIB/QCLSRC.FILE/MQJMS_PSQ.MBR')

2. Call the script file using STRMQMMQSC:

STRMQMMQSC SRCMBR(MQJMS_PSQ) SRCFILE(QGPL/QCLSRC)

For z/OS & OS/390: 1. Copy the script from the HFS into a PDS using a TSO command similar to
OGET '/usr/lpp/mqm/java/bin/MQJMS_PSQ.mqsc' 'USERID.MQSC(MQJMSPSQ)'

The PDS should be of fixed-block format with a record length of 80. 2. Either use the CSQUTIL application to execute this command script, or add the script to the CSQINP2 DD concatenation in your queue managers started task JCL. In either case, refer to the MQSeries for OS/390 System Management Guide book for further details. For other platforms:
runmqsc MY.QUEUE.MANAGER < MQJMS_PSQ.mqsc

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |

For a broker running on a remote queue manager

For operation with a broker running on a remote queue manager, further setup is required. 1. Define a transmission queue on the remote queue manager with a queue name matching the local queue manager. These names must match for correct routing of messages by MQSeries. 2. Define a sender channel on the remote queue manager and a receiver channel on the local queue manager. The sender channel should use the transmission queue defined in step 1. 3. Setup the local queue manager for communication with the remote broker: a. Define a local transmission queue. You must give it the same name as the queue manager running the remote broker. b. Define local sender and remote receiver channels to the remote broker queue manager. The sender channel should use the transmission queue defined in step 3a. 4. To operate the remote broker, take the following steps: a. Start the remote broker queue manager. b. Start a listener for the remote broker queue manager (TCP/IP channels). c. Start the sender and receiver channels to the local queue manager. d. Start the broker on the remote queue manager. An example command is
strmqbrk -m MyBrokerMgr

5. To operate the local queue manager to communicate with the remote broker, take the following steps: a. Start the local queue manager. b. Start a listener for the local queue manager. c. Start the sender and receiver channels to the remote broker queue manager.

Queues that require authorization for non-privileged users

Non-privileged users need authorization granted to access the queues used by JMS. For details about access control in MQSeries, see the chapter about protecting MQSeries objects in MQSeries System Administration. For JMS point-to-point mode, the access control issues are similar to those for the MQSeries classes for Java: v Queues that are used by QueueSender require put authority. v Queues that are used by QueueReceivers and QueueBrowsers require get, inq and browse authorities. v The QueueSession.createTemporaryQueue method requires access to the model queue that is defined in the QueueConnectionFactory temporaryModel field (by default this will be SYSTEM.DEFAULT.MODEL.QUEUE). For JMS publish/subscribe mode, the following system queues are used: SYSTEM.JMS.ADMIN.QUEUE SYSTEM.JMS.REPORT.QUEUE SYSTEM.JMS.MODEL.QUEUE SYSTEM.JMS.PS.STATUS.QUEUE
Chapter 4. Using MQSeries classes for Java Message Service (MQ JMS)

Publish/Subscribe setup
SYSTEM.JMS.ND.SUBSCRIBER.QUEUE SYSTEM.JMS.D.SUBSCRIBER.QUEUE SYSTEM.JMS.ND.CC.SUBSCRIBER.QUEUE SYSTEM.JMS.D.CC.SUBSCRIBER.QUEUE SYSTEM.BROKER.CONTROL.QUEUE Also, any application that publishes messages requires access to the STREAM queue that is specified in the topic connection factory being used. The default value for this is: SYSTEM.BROKER.DEFAULT.STREAM | | | | | If you use the functionality of ConnectionConsumer, additional authorization may be needed. Queues to be read by the ConnectionConsumer must have get, inq and browse authorities. The system dead-letter queue, and any backout-requeue queue or report queue used by the ConnectionConsumer must have put and passall authorities.

Running the point-to-point IVT

This section describes the point-to-point installation verification test program (IVT) that is supplied with MQ JMS. The IVT attempts to verify the installation by connecting to the default queue manager on the local machine, using the MQ JMS in bindings mode. It then sends a message to the SYSTEM.DEFAULT.LOCAL.QUEUE queue and reads it back again. You can run the program in one of two possible modes. With JNDI lookup of administered objects JNDI mode forces the program to obtain its administered objects from a JNDI namespace, which is the expected operation of JMS client applications. (See Administering JMS objects on page 35 for a description of administered objects). This invocation method has the same prerequisites as the administration tool (see Chapter 5. Using the MQ JMS administration tool on page 31). Without JNDI lookup of administered objects If you do not wish to use JNDI, the administered objects can be created at runtime by running the IVT in non-JNDI mode. Because a JNDI-based repository is relatively complex to set up, we recommend that the IVT is first run without JNDI.

Point-to-point verification without JNDI

A script, named IVTRun on UNIX, or IVTRun.bat on Windows NT, is provided to run the IVT. This file is installed in the bin subdirectory of the installation. To run the test without JNDI, issue the following command: |
IVTRun -nojndi [-m <qmgr>]

For client mode, to run the test without JNDI, issue the following command:
IVTRun -nojndi -client -m <qmgr> -host <hostname> [-port <port>] [-channel <channel>]

where:

MQSeries Using Java

Point-to-point IVT
qmgr hostname port channel is the name of the queue manager to which you wish to connect is the host on which the queue manager is running is the TCP/IP port on which the queue managers listener is running (default 1414) is the client connection channel (default SYSTEM.DEF.SVRCONN)

If the test completes successfully, you should see output similar to the following:

Point-to-point verification with JNDI

To run the IVT with JNDI, the LDAP server must be running and must be configured to accept Java objects. If the following message occurs, it indicates that there is a connection to the LDAP server, but the server is not correctly configured:
Unable to bind to object

This message means that either the server is not storing Java objects, or the permissions on the objects or the suffix are not correct. See Checking your LDAP server configuration on page 353. Also, the following administered objects must be retrievable from a JNDI namespace: v MQQueueConnectionFactory v MQQueue A script, named IVTSetup on UNIX, or IVTSetup.bat on Windows NT, is provided to create these objects automatically. Enter the command:
IVTSetup
Chapter 4. Using MQSeries classes for Java Message Service (MQ JMS)

Point-to-point IVT
The script invokes the MQ JMS Administration tool (see Chapter 5. Using the MQ JMS administration tool on page 31) and creates the objects in a JNDI namespace. The MQQueueConnectionFactory is bound under the name ivtQCF (for LDAP, cn=ivtQCF). All the properties are default values:
TRANSPORT(BIND) PORT(1414) HOSTNAME(localhost) CHANNEL(SYSTEM.DEF.SVRCONN) VERSION(1) CCSID(819) TEMPMODEL(SYSTEM.DEFAULT.MODEL.QUEUE) QMANAGER()

The MQQueue is bound under the name ivtQ (cn=ivtQ). The value of the QUEUE property becomes QUEUE(SYSTEM.DEFAULT.LOCAL.QUEUE). All other properties have default values:
PERSISTENCE(APP) QUEUE(SYSTEM.DEFAULT.LOCAL.QUEUE) EXPIRY(APP) TARGCLIENT(JMS) ENCODING(NATIVE) VERSION(1) CCSID(1208) PRIORITY(APP) QMANAGER()

Once the administered objects are created in the JNDI namespace, run the IVTRun (IVTRun.bat on Windows NT) script using the following command:
IVTRun [ -t ] -url <"providerURL"> [ -icf <initCtxFact> ]

where: -t providerURL means turn tracing on (by default, tracing is off) is the JNDI location of the administered objects. If the default initial context factory is in use, this is an LDAP URL of the form:
ldap://hostname.company.com/contextName

If a file system service provider is used, (see initCtxFact below), the URL is of the form:
file://directorySpec

Note: Enclose the providerURL string in quotation marks (). initCtxFact is the classname of the initial context factory. The default is for an LDAP service provider, and has the value:
com.sun.jndi.ldap.LdapCtxFactory

If a file system service provider is used, set this parameter to:

com.sun.jndi.fscontext.RefFSContextFactory

If the test completes successfully, the output is similar to the non-JNDI output, except that the create QueueConnectionFactory and Queue lines indicate retrieval of the object from JNDI. The following code fragment shows an example.

Although not strictly necessary, it is good practice to remove objects that are created by the IVTSetup script from the JNDI namespace. A script called IVTTidy (IVTTidy.bat on Windows NT) is provided for this purpose.

IVT error recovery

If the test is not successful, the following notes may be helpful: v For assistance with any error messages involving classpath, check that your classpath is set correctly, as described in Post installation setup on page 19. v The IVT might fail with a message failed to create MQQueueManager, with an additional message including the number 2059. This indicates that MQSeries failed to connect to the default local queue manager on the machine on which you ran the IVT. Check that the queue manager is running, and that it is marked as the default queue manager. v A message failed to open MQ queue indicates that MQSeries connected to the default queue manager, but could not open the SYSTEM.DEFAULT.LOCAL.QUEUE. This may indicate that either the queue does not exist on your default queue manager, or the queue is not enabled for PUT and GET. Add or enable the queue for the duration of the test.

The Publish/Subscribe Installation Verification Test

The Publish/Subscribe Installation Verification Test (PSIVT) program is supplied only in compiled form. It is in the com.ibm.mq.jms package. | | The test requires a broker such as the MQSeries publish/subscribe broker (SupportPac MA0C) or MQSeries Integrator V2 to be installed and running. The PSIVT attempts to: 1. Create a publisher, p, publishing on the topic MQJMS/PSIVT/Information
Chapter 4. Using MQSeries classes for Java Message Service (MQ JMS)

Publish/Subscribe IVT
2. Create a subscriber, s, subscribing on the topic MQJMS/PSIVT/Information 3. Use p to publish a simple text message 4. Use s to receive a message waiting on its input queue When you run the PSIVT, the publisher publishes the message, and the subscriber receives and displays the message. The publisher publishes to the brokers default stream. The subscriber is non-durable, does not perform message selection, and accepts messages from local connections. It performs a synchronous receive, waiting a maximum of 5 seconds for a message to arrive. You can run the PSIVT, like the IVT, in either JNDI mode or standalone mode. JNDI mode uses JNDI to retrieve a TopicConnectionFactory and a Topic from a JNDI namespace. If JNDI is not used, these objects are created at runtime.

Publish/Subscribe verification without JNDI

A script named PSIVTRun (PSIVTRun.bat on Windows NT) is provided to run PSIVT. The file is in the bin subdirectory of the installation. To run the test without JNDI, issue the following command: |
PSIVTRun -nojndi [-m <qmgr>] [-bqm <broker>] [-t]

For client mode, to run the test without JNDI, issue the following command: | |
PSIVTRun -nojndi -client -m <qmgr> -host <hostname> [-port <port>] [-channel <channel>] [-bqm <broker>] [-t]

where: -nojndi qmgr hostname port channel | | | broker means no JNDI lookup of the administered objects is the name of the queue manager to which you wish to connect is the host on which the queue manager is running is the TCP/IP port on which the queue managers listener is running (default 1414) is the client connection channel (default SYSTEM.DEF.SVRCONN) is the name of the remote queue manager on which the broker is running.

Publish/Subscribe verification with JNDI

To run the PSIVT in JNDI mode, two administered objects must be retrievable from a JNDI namespace: v A TopicConnectionFactory bound under the name ivtTCF v A Topic bound under the name ivtT You can define these objects by using the MQ JMS Administration Tool (see Chapter 5. Using the MQ JMS administration tool on page 31) and using the following commands:
DEFINE TCF(ivtTCF)

This command defines the TopicConnectionFactory.

DEFINE T(ivtT) TOPIC(MQJMS/PSIVT/Information)

This command defines the Topic. These definitions assume that a default queue manager, on which the broker is running, is available. For details on configuring these objects to use a non-default queue manager, see Administering JMS objects on page 35. These objects should reside in a context pointed to by the -url command-line parameter described below. To run the test in JNDI mode, enter the following command:
PSIVTRun -url <purl> [-icf <initcf>] [-t]

where: -t -url <purl> means turn tracing on (by default, tracing is off) is the URL of the JNDI location in which the administered objects reside
Chapter 4. Using MQSeries classes for Java Message Service (MQ JMS)

Publish/Subscribe IVT
-icf <initcf> is the initialContextFactory for JNDI [com.sun.jndi.ldap.LdapCtxFactory ]

If the test completes successfully, output is similar to the non-JNDI output, except that the create QueueConnectionFactory and Queue lines indicate retrieval of the object from JNDI.

PSIVT error recovery

If the test is not successful, the following notes may be helpful: v If you see the following message:
*** The broker is not running! Please start it using 'strmqbrk' ***

this indicates that the broker is installed on the target queue manager, but its control queue contains some outstanding messages. This indicates that the broker is not running. To start it, use the strmqbrk command. (See Additional setup for Publish/Subscribe mode on page 20.) v If the following message is displayed:
Unable to connect to queue manager: <default>

ensure that your MQSeries system has configured a default queue manager. v If the following message is displayed:
Unable to connect to queue manager: ...

ensure that the administered TopicConnectionFactory that the PSIVT uses is configured with a valid queue manager name. Alternatively, if you used the -nojndi option, ensure that you supplied a valid queue manager (use the -m option). v If the following message is displayed:
Unable to access broker control queue on queue manager: ... Please ensure the broker is installed on this queue manager

ensure that the administered TopicConnectionFactory that the PSIVT uses is configured with the name of the queue manager on which the broker is installed. If you used the -nojndi option, ensure that you supplied a queue manager name (use the -m option).

Running your own MQ JMS programs

For information on writing your own MQ JMS programs, see Chapter 10. Writing MQ JMS programs on page 169. MQ JMS includes a utility file, runjms (runjms.bat on Windows NT), to help you to run the supplied programs and programs that you have written. The utility provides default locations for the trace and log files, and enables you to add any application runtime parameters that your application needs. The supplied script assumes that the environment variable MQ_JAVA_INSTALL_PATH is set to the directory in which the MQ JMS is installed. The script also assumes that the subdirectories trace and log within that directory are used for trace and log output, respectively. These are only suggested locations, and you can edit the script to use any directory you choose. Use the following command to run your application:
runjms <classname of application> [application-specific arguments]

MQSeries Using Java

Running MQ JMS programs

For information on writing MQ JMS applications and applets, see Part 3. Programming with MQ JMS on page 167.

Solving problems
If a program does not complete successfully, run the installation verification program, which is described in Chapter 4. Using MQSeries classes for Java Message Service (MQ JMS) on page 19, and follow the advice given in the diagnostic messages.

Tracing programs
The MQ JMS trace facility is provided to help IBM staff to diagnose customer problems. Trace is disabled by default, because the output rapidly becomes large, and is unlikely to be of use in normal circumstances. If you are asked to provide trace output, you can enable it by setting the Java property MQJMS_TRACE_LEVEL to one of the following values: on base traces MQ JMS calls only traces both MQ JMS calls and the underlying MQ base Java calls

For example:
java -DMQJMS_TRACE_LEVEL=base MyJMSProg

To disable trace, set MQJMS_TRACE_LEVEL to off. By default, trace is output to a file named mqjms.trc in the current working directory. You can redirect it to a different directory by using the Java property MQJMS_TRACE_DIR. For example:
java -DMQJMS_TRACE_LEVEL=base -DMQJMS_TRACE_DIR=/somepath/tracedir MyJMSProg

The runjms utility script sets these properties by using the environment variables MQJMS_TRACE_LEVEL and MQ_JAVA_INSTALL_PATH, as follows:
java -DMQJMS_LOG_DIR=%MQ_JAVA_INSTALL_PATH%\log -DMQJMS_TRACE_DIR=%MQ_JAVA_INSTALL_PATH%\trace -DMQJMS_TRACE_LEVEL=%MQJMS_TRACE_LEVEL% %1 %2 %3 %4 %5 %6 %7 %8 %9

This is only a suggestion, and you can modify it as required.

Logging
The MQ JMS log facility is provided to report serious problems, particularly those that may indicate configuration errors rather than programming errors. By default, log output is sent to the System.err stream, which usually appears on the stderr of the console in which the JVM is run. You can redirect the output to a file by using a Java property that specifies the new location, for example:
java -DMQJMS_LOG_DIR=/mydir/forlogs MyJMSProg

The utility script runjms, in the bin directory of the MQ JMSinstallation, sets this property to:
Chapter 4. Using MQSeries classes for Java Message Service (MQ JMS)

Logging
<MQ_JAVA_INSTALL_PATH>/log

where MQ_JAVA_INSTALL_PATH is the path to your MQ JMS installation. This is a suggestion, which you can modify as required. When the log is redirected to a file, it is output in a binary form. To view the log, the utility formatLog (formatLog.bat on Windows NT) is provided, which converts the file to plain text format. The utility is stored in the bin directory of your MQ JMS installation. Run the conversion as follows:
formatLog <inputfile> <outputfile>

Chapter 5. Using the MQ JMS administration tool

The administration tool enables administrators to define the properties of eight types of MQ JMS object and to store them within a JNDI namespace. Then, JMS clients can retrieve these administered objects from the namespace by using JNDI and use them. The JMS objects that you can administer by using the tool are: v MQQueueConnectionFactory v MQTopicConnectionFactory v MQQueue v MQTopic v MQXAQueueConnectionFactory v MQXATopicConnectionFactory v JMSWrapXAQueueConnectionFactory v JMSWrapXATopicConnectionFactory For details about these objects, refer to Administering JMS objects on page 35. Note: JMSWrapXAQueueConnectionFactory and JMSWrapXATopicConnectionFactory are classes that are specific to WebSphere. They are contained in the package com.ibm.ejs.jms.mq. The tool also allows administrators to manipulate directory namespace subcontexts within the JNDI. See Manipulating subcontexts on page 35.

Invoking the Administration tool

The administration tool has a command line interface. You can use this interactively, or use it to start a batch process. The interactive mode provides a command prompt where you can enter administration commands. In the batch mode, the command to start the tool includes the name of a file which contains an administration command script. To start the tool in interactive mode, enter the command:
JMSAdmin [-t] [-v] [-cfg config_filename]

where: -t -v -cfg config_filename Enables trace (default is trace off) Produces verbose output (default is terse output) The name of an alternative configuration file (see Configuration on page 32)

A command prompt is displayed, which indicates that the tool is ready to accept administration commands. This prompt initially appears as:
InitCtx>

indicating that the current context (that is, the JNDI context to which all naming and directory operations currently refer) is the initial context defined in the PROVIDER_URL configuration parameter (see Configuration on page 32).

Copyright IBM Corp. 1997, 2001

Invoking the Administration tool

As you traverse the directory namespace, the prompt changes to reflect this, so that the prompt always displays the current context. To start the tool in batch mode, enter the command:
JMSAdmin <test.scp

where test.scp is a script file that contains administration commands (see Administration commands on page 34). The last command in the file must be the END command.

Configuration
You must configure the administration tool with values for the following three parameters: INITIAL_CONTEXT_FACTORY This indicates the service provider that the tool uses. There are currently three supported values for this property: v com.sun.jndi.ldap.LdapCtxFactory (for LDAP) v com.sun.jndi.fscontext.RefFSContextFactory (for file system context) v com.ibm.ejs.ns.jndi.CNInitialContextFactory (to work with WebSpheres CosNaming repository) | | | | On z/OS & OS/390, com.ibm.jndi.LDAPCtxFactory is also supported and provides access to an LDAP server. However, note that it is incompatable with com.sun.jndi.ldap.LdapCtxFactory, in that objects created using one Initial Context Factory cannot be read or modified using the other. PROVIDER_URL This indicates the URL of the sessions initial context, the root of all JNDI operations carried out by the tool. Three forms of this property are currently supported: v ldap://hostname/contextname (for LDAP) v file:[drive:]/pathname (for file system context) v iiop://hostname[:port] /[?TargetContext=ctx] (to access base WebSphere CosNaming namespace) SECURITY_AUTHENTICATION This indicates whether JNDI passes over security credentials to your service provider. This parameter is used only when an LDAP service provider is used. This property can currently take one of three values: v none (anonymous authentication) v simple (simple authentication) v CRAM-MD5 (CRAM-MD5 authentication mechanism) If a valid value is not supplied, the property defaults to none. See Security on page 33 for more details about security with the administration tool. These parameters are set in a configuration file. When you invoke the tool, you can specify this configuration by using the -cfg command-line parameter, as described in Invoking the Administration tool on page 31. If you do not specify a configuration file name, the tool attempts to load the default configuration file (JMSAdmin.config). It looks for this file first in the current directory, and then in the <MQ_JAVA_INSTALL_PATH>/bin directory, where <MQ_JAVA_INSTALL_PATH> is the path to your MQ JMS installation.

| |

MQSeries Using Java

Configuration
The configuration file is a plain-text file that consists of a set of key-value pairs, separated by an =. This is shown in the following example:
#Set the service provider INITIAL_CONTEXT_FACTORY=com.sun.jndi.ldap.LdapCtxFactory #Set the initial context PROVIDER_URL=ldap://polaris/o=ibm_us,c=us #Set the authentication type SECURITY_AUTHENTICATION=none

(A # in the first column of the line indicates a comment, or a line that is not used.) The installation comes with a sample configuration file that is called JMSAdmin.config, and is found in the <MQ_JAVA_INSTALL_PATH>/bin directory. Edit this file to suit the setup of your system.

Configuring for WebSphere

For the administration tool (or any client application that needs to do subsequent lookups) to work with WebSpheres CosNaming repository, you require the following configuration: v CLASSPATH must include WebSpheres JNDI-related jar files: For WebSphere V3.5:
<WSAppserver>\lib\ujc.jar

v PATH for WebSphere V.3.5 must include:

<WSAppserver>\jdk\jre\bin

where <WSAppserver> is the install path for WebSphere.

Security
Administrators need to know about the effect of the SECURITY_AUTHENTICATION property described in Configuration on page 32. v If this parameter is set to none, JNDI does not pass any security credentials to the service provider, and anonymous authentication is performed. v If the parameter is set to either simple or CRAM-MD5, security credentials are passed through JNDI to the underlying service provider. These security credentials are in the form of a user distinguished name (User DN) and password. If security credentials are required, then the user will be prompted for these when the tool initializes. Note: The text typed is echoed to the screen, and this includes the password. Therefore, take care that passwords are not disclosed to unauthorized users. The tool does no authentication itself; the task is delegated to the LDAP server. It is the responsibility of the LDAP server administrator to set up and maintain access privileges to different parts of the directory. If authentication fails, the tool displays an appropriate error message and terminates. More detailed information about security and JNDI is in the documentation at Suns Java website (http://java.sun.com).

Chapter 5. Using the MQ JMS administration tool

Administration commands

Administration commands
When the command prompt is displayed, the tool is ready to accept commands. Administration commands are generally of the following form:
verb [param]*

where verb is one of the administration verbs listed in Table 6. All valid commands consist of at least one (and only one) verb, which appears at the beginning of the command in either its standard or short form. The parameters a verb may take depend on the verb. For example, the END verb cannot take any parameters, but the DEFINE verb may take anything between 1 and 20 parameters. Details of the verbs that take at least one parameter are discussed in later sections of this chapter.
Table 6. Administration verbs Verb ALTER DEFINE DISPLAY DELETE CHANGE Short form ALT DEF DIS DEL CHG Description Change at least one of the properties of a given administered object Create and store an administered object, or create a new subcontext Display the properties of one or more stored administered objects, or the contents of the current context Remove one or more administered objects from the namespace, or remove an empty subcontext Alter the current context, allowing the user to traverse the directory namespace anywhere below the initial context (pending security clearance) Make a copy of a stored administered object, storing it under an alternative name Alter the name under which an administered object is stored Close the administration tool

COPY MOVE END

CP MV

Verb names are not case-sensitive. Usually, to terminate commands, you press the carriage return key. However, you can override this by typing the + symbol directly before the carriage return. This enables you to enter multi-line commands, as shown in the following example:
DEFINE Q(BookingsInputQueue) + QMGR(QM.POLARIS.TEST) + QUEUE(BOOKINGS.INPUT.QUEUE) + PORT(1415) + CCSID(437)

Lines beginning with one of the characters *, #, or / are treated as comments, or lines that are ignored.

Manipulating subcontexts

Manipulating subcontexts
You can use the verbs CHANGE, DEFINE, DISPLAY and DELETE to manipulate directory namespace subcontexts. Their use is described in Table 7.
Table 7. Syntax and description of commands used to manipulate subcontexts Command syntax DEFINE CTX(ctxName) Description Attempts to create a new child subcontext of the current context, having the name ctxName. Fails if there is a security violation, if the subcontext already exists, or if the name supplied is invalid. Displays the contents of the current context. Administered objects are annotated with a, subcontexts with [D]. The Java type of each object is also displayed. Attempts to delete the current contexts child context having the name ctxName. Fails if the context is not found, is non-empty, or if there is a security violation. Alters the current context, so that it now refers to the child context having the name ctxName. One of two special values of ctxName may be supplied: =UP which moves to the current contexts parent =INIT which moves directly to the initial context Fails if the specified context does not exist, or if there is a security violation.

Administering JMS objects

This section describes the eight types of object that the administration tool can handle. It includes details about each of their configurable properties and the verbs that can manipulate them.

Object types
Table 8 shows the eight types of administered objects. The Keyword column shows the strings that you can substitute for TYPE in the commands shown in Table 9 on page 36.

1. These classes are provided for use by vendors of application servers. They are unlikely to be directly useful to application programmers. 2. Use this style of ConnectionFactory if you wish your JMS sessions to participate in global transactions that are coordinated by WebSphere.

Verbs used with JMS objects

You can use the verbs ALTER, DEFINE, DISPLAY, DELETE, COPY, and MOVE to manipulate administered objects in the directory namespace. Table 9 summarizes their use. Substitute TYPE with the keyword that represents the required administered object, as listed in Table 8 on page 35.
Table 9. Syntax and description of commands used to manipulate administered objects Command syntax ALTER TYPE(name) [property]* Description Attempts to update the given administered objects properties with the ones supplied. Fails if there is a security violation, if the specified object cannot be found, or if the new properties supplied are invalid.

Administering JMS objects

Table 9. Syntax and description of commands used to manipulate administered objects (continued) Command syntax DEFINE TYPE(name) [property]* Description Attempts to create an administered object of type TYPE with the supplied properties, and tries to store it under the name name in the current context. Fails if there is a security violation, if the supplied name is invalid or already exists, or if the properties supplied are invalid. Displays the properties of the administered object of type TYPE, bound under the name name in the current context. Fails if the object does not exist, or if there is a security violation. Attempts to remove the administered object of type TYPE, having the name name, from the current context. Fails if the object does not exist, or if there is a security violation. Makes a copy of the administered object of type TYPE, having the name nameA, naming the copy nameB. This all occurs within the scope of the current context. Fails if the object to be copied does not exist, if an object of name nameB already exists, or if there is a security violation. Moves (renames) the administered object of type TYPE, having the name nameA, to nameB. This all occurs within the scope of the current context. Fails if the object to be moved does not exist, if an object of name nameB already exists, or if there is a security violation.

DISPLAY TYPE(name)

DELETE TYPE(name)

COPY TYPE(nameA) TYPE(nameB)

MOVE TYPE(nameA) TYPE(nameB)

Creating objects
Objects are created and stored in a JNDI namespace using the following command syntax:
DEFINE TYPE(name) [property]*

That is, the DEFINE verb, followed by a TYPE(name) administered object reference, followed by zero or more properties (see Properties on page 38).

LDAP naming considerations

To store your objects in an LDAP environment, their names must comply with certain conventions. One of these is that object and subcontext names must include a prefix, such as cn= (common name), or ou= (organizational unit). The administration tool simplifies the use of LDAP service providers by allowing you to refer to object and context names without a prefix. If you do not supply a prefix, the tool automatically adds a default prefix (currently cn=) to the name you supply.

Chapter 5. Using the MQ JMS administration tool

Administering JMS objects

This is shown in the following example.
InitCtx> DEFINE Q(testQueue) InitCtx> DISPLAY CTX Contents of InitCtx a cn=testQueue com.ibm.mq.jms.MQQueue

1 Object(s) 0 Context(s) 1 Binding(s), 1 Administered

Note that although the object name supplied (testQueue) does not have a prefix, the tool automatically adds one to ensure compliance with the LDAP naming convention. Likewise, submitting the command DISPLAY Q(testQueue) also causes this prefix to be added. You may need to configure your LDAP server to store Java objects. Information to assist with this configuration is provided in Appendix C. LDAP schema definition for storing Java objects on page 353.

Properties
A property consists of a name-value pair in the format:
PROPERTY_NAME(property_value)

Property names are not case-sensitive, and are restricted to the set of recognized names shown in Table 10. This table also shows the valid property values for each property.

Notes: 1. For WSTCF, WSQCF, XATCF, and XAQCF objects, only the BIND transport type is allowed. 2. Appendix A. Mapping between Administration tool properties and programmable properties on page 349 shows the relationship between properties set by the tool and programmable properties. 3. The TARGCLIENT property indicates whether the MQSeries RFH2 format is used to exchange information with target applications. The MQJMS_CLIENT_JMS_COMPLIANT constant indicates that the RFH2 format is used to send information. Applications that use MQ JMS understand the RFH2 format. You should set the MQJMS_CLIENT_JMS_COMPLIANT constant when you exchange information with a target MQ JMS application. The MQJMS_CLIENT_NONJMS_MQ constant indicates that the RFH2 format is not used to send information. Typically, this value is used for an existing MQSeries application (that is, one that does not handle RFH2).

Property dependencies
Some properties have dependencies on each other. This may mean that it is meaningless to supply a property unless another property is set to a particular value. The two specific property groups where this can occur are Client properties and Exit initialization strings. Client properties If the TRANSPORT(CLIENT) property has not been explicitly set on a connection factory, the transport used on connections provided by the factory is MQ Bindings. Consequently, none of the client properties on this connection factory can be configured. These are: v HOST v PORT v CHANNEL v CCSID v RECEXIT
Chapter 5. Using the MQ JMS administration tool

Administering JMS objects

v v v v v RECEXITINIT SECEXIT SECEXITINIT SENDEXIT SENDEXITINIT

If you attempt to set any of these properties without setting the TRANSPORT property to CLIENT, there will be an error. Exit initialization strings It is invalid to set any of the exit initialization strings unless the corresponding exit name has been supplied. The exit initialization properties are: v RECEXITINIT v SECEXITINIT v SENDEXITINIT For example, specifying RECEXITINIT(myString) without specifying RECEXIT(some.exit.classname) causes an error.

The ENCODING property

The valid values that the ENCODING property can take are more complex than the rest of the properties. The encoding property is constructed from three sub-properties: integer encoding decimal encoding floating-point encoding this is either normal or reversed this is either normal or reversed this is IEEE normal, IEEE reversed, or System/390

The ENCODING is expressed as a three-character string with the following syntax:

{N|R}{N|R}{N|R|3}

In this string: v N denotes normal v R denotes reversed v 3 denotes System/390 v the first character represents integer encoding v the second character represents decimal encoding v the third character represents floating-point encoding This provides a set of twelve possible values for the ENCODING property. There is an additional value, the string NATIVE, which sets appropriate encoding values for the Java platform. The following examples show valid combinations for ENCODING:
ENCODING(NNR) ENCODING(NATIVE) ENCODING(RR3)

MQSeries Using Java

Chapter 6. Introduction for programmers

This chapter contains general information for programmers. For more detailed information about writing programs, see Chapter 7. Writing MQ base Java programs on page 51.

Why should I use the Java interface?

The MQSeries classes for Java programming interface makes the many benefits of Java available to you as a developer of MQSeries applications: v The Java programming language is easy to use. There is no need for header files, pointers, structures, unions, and operator overloading. Programs written in Java are easier to develop and debug than their C and C++ equivalents. v Java is object-oriented. The object-oriented features of Java are comparable to those of C++, but there is no multiple inheritance. Instead, Java uses the concept of an interface. v Java is inherently distributed. The Java class libraries contain a library of routines for coping with TCP/IP protocols like HTTP and FTP. Java programs can access URLs as easily as accessing a file system. v Java is robust. Java puts a lot of emphasis on early checking for possible problems, dynamic (runtime) checking, and the elimination of situations that are error prone. Java uses a concept of references that eliminates the possibility of overwriting memory and corrupting data. v Java is secure. Java is intended to be run in networked or distributed environments, and a lot of emphasis has been placed on security. Java programs cannot overrun their runtime stack and cannot corrupt memory outside of their process space. When Java programs are downloaded from the Internet, they cannot even read or write local files. v Java programs are portable. There are no implementation-dependent aspects of the Java specification. The Java compiler generates an architecture-neutral object file format. The compiled code is executable on many processors, as long as the Java runtime system is present. If you write your application using MQSeries classes for Java, users can download the Java byte codes (called applets) for your program from the Internet. Users can then run these applets on their own machines. This means that users with access to your Web server can load and run your application with no prior installation needed on their machines. When an update to the program is required, you update the copy on the Web server. The next time that users access the applet, they automatically receive the latest version. This can significantly reduce the costs involved in installing and updating traditional client applications where a large number of desktops are involved.

Advantages of Java
If you place your applet on a Web server that is accessible outside the corporate firewall, anyone on the Internet can download and use your application. This means that you can get messages into your MQSeries system from anywhere on the internet. This opens the door to building a whole new set of Internet accessible service, support, and electronic commerce applications.

The MQSeries classes for Java interface

The procedural MQSeries application programming interface is built around the following verbs:
MQBACK, MQBEGIN, MQCLOSE, MQCMIT, MQCONN, MQCONNX, MQDISC, MQGET, MQINQ, MQOPEN, MQPUT, MQPUT1, MQSET

These verbs all take, as a parameter, a handle to the MQSeries object on which they are to operate. Because Java is object-oriented, the Java programming interface turns this round. Your program consists of a set of MQSeries objects, which you act upon by calling methods on those objects, as in the following example. When you use the procedural interface, you disconnect from a queue manager by using the call MQDISC(Hconn, CompCode, Reason), where Hconn is a handle to the queue manager. In the Java interface, the queue manager is represented by an object of class MQQueueManager. You disconnect from the queue manager by calling the disconnect() method on that class.
// declare an object of type queue manager MQQueueManager queueManager=new MQQueueManager(); ... // do something... ... // disconnect from the queue manager queueManager.disconnect();

Java Development Kit

Before you can compile any applets or applications that you write, you must have access to a Java Development Kit (JDK) for your development platform. The JDK contains all the standard Java classes, variables, constructors, and interfaces on which the MQSeries classes for Java classes depend. It also contains the tools required to compile and run the applets and programs on each supported platform. You can download IBM Developer Kits for Java from the IBM Software Download Catalog, which is available on the World Wide Web at location:
http://www.ibm.com/software/download

You can also develop applications by using the Developer Kit that is included with the integrated development environment of IBM VisualAge for Java. | | | | To compile Java applications on the iSeries & AS/400 platforms, you must first install: v The AS/400 Developer Kit for Java, 5769-JV1 v The Qshell Interpreter, OS/400 (5769-SS1) Option 30

MQSeries classes for Java class library

MQSeries classes for Java is a set of Java classes that enable Java applets and applications to interact with MQSeries. The following classes are provided: v MQChannelDefinition v MQChannelExit v MQDistributionList v MQDistributionListItem v MQEnvironment v MQException v MQGetMessageOptions v MQManagedObject v MQMessage v MQMessageTracker v MQPoolServices v MQPoolServicesEvent v MQPoolToken v MQPutMessageOptions v MQProcess v MQQueue v MQQueueManager v MQSimpleConnectionManager The following Java interfaces are provided: v MQC v MQPoolServicesEventListener v MQReceiveExit v MQSecurityExit v MQSendExit Implementation of the following Java interfaces are also provided. However, these interfaces are not intended for direct use by applications: v MQConnectionManager v javax.resource.spi.ManagedConnection v javax.resource.spi.ManagedConnectionFactory v javax.resource.spi.ManagedConnectionMetaData In Java, a package is a mechanism for grouping sets of related classes together. The MQSeries classes and interfaces are shipped as a Java package called com.ibm.mq. To include the MQSeries classes for Java package in your program, add the following line at the top of your source file:
import com.ibm.mq.*;

MQSeries Using Java

Chapter 7. Writing MQ base Java programs

To use MQSeries classes for Java to access MQSeries queues, you write Java programs that contain calls that put messages onto, and get messages from, MQSeries queues. The programs can take the form of Java applets, Java servlets, or Java applications. This chapter provides information to assist with writing Java applets, servlets, and applications to interact with MQSeries systems. For details of individual classes, see Chapter 9. The MQ base Java classes and interfaces on page 79.

Should I write applets or applications?

Whether you write applets, servlets, or applications depends on the connection that you want to use and from where you want to run the programs. The main differences between applets and applications are: v Applets are run with an applet viewer or in a Web browser, servlets are run in a Web application server, and applications are run standalone. v Applets can be downloaded from a Web server to a Web browser machine, but applications and servlets are not. v Applets run with additional security rules limiting what they can do. These rules are more restrictive from Java 1.2. See Appendix F. Using MQ Java in applets with Java 1.2 or later on page 367 for more information about this. The following general rules apply: v If you want to run your programs from machines that do not have MQSeries classes for Java installed locally, you should write applets. v The native bindings mode of MQSeries classes for Java does not support applets. Therefore, if you want to use your programs in all connection modes, including the native bindings mode, you must write servlets or applications.

| | | |

Connection differences
The way you program for MQSeries classes for Java has some dependencies on the connection modes you want to use.

Client connections
When MQSeries classes for Java is used as a client, it is similar to the MQSeries C client, but has the following differences: v It supports only TCP/IP. v It does not support connection tables. v It does not read any MQSeries environment variables at startup. v Information that would be stored in a channel definition and in environment variables is stored in a class called MQEnvironment. Alternatively, this information can be passed as parameters when the connection is made. v Error and exception conditions are written to a log specified in the MQException class. The default error destination is the Java console.
Copyright IBM Corp. 1997, 2001

Connection differences
The MQSeries classes for Java clients do not support the MQBEGIN verb or fast bindings. For general information on MQSeries clients, see the MQSeries Clients book. Note: When you use the VisiBroker connection, the userid and password settings in MQEnvironment are not forwarded to the MQSeries server. The effective userid is the one that applies to the IIOP server.

Bindings mode
The bindings mode of MQSeries classes for Java differs from the client modes in the following ways: v Most of the parameters provided by the MQEnvironment class are ignored v The bindings support the MQBEGIN verb and fast bindings into the MQSeries queue manager Note: MQSeries for AS/400 does not support the use of MQBEGIN to initiate global units of work that are coordinated by the queue manager.

Defining which connection to use

The connection is determined by the setting of variables in the MQEnvironment class. MQEnvironment.properties This can contain the following key/value pairs: v For client and bindings connections: v For VisiBroker connections:
MQC.TRANSPORT_PROPERTY, MQC.TRANSPORT_MQSERIES MQC.TRANSPORT_PROPERTY, MQC.TRANSPORT_VISIBROKER MQC.ORB_PROPERTY, orb

MQEnvironment.hostname Set the value of this variable follows: v For client connections, set this to the hostname of the MQSeries server to which you want to connect v For bindings mode, set this to null

Example code fragments

This section includes two example code fragments; Figure 1 on page 53 and Figure 2 on page 56. Each one uses a particular connection and includes notes to describe the changes needed to use alternative connections.

Example applet code

The following code fragment demonstrates an applet that uses a TCP/IP connection to: 1. Connect to a queue manager 2. Put a message onto SYSTEM.DEFAULT.LOCAL.QUEUE 3. Get the message back

and add the following lines to initialize the ORB (object request broker):
ORB orb=ORB.init(this,null); MQEnvironment.properties.put(MQC.ORB_PROPERTY,orb);

You also need to add the following import statement to the beginning of the file:
import org.omg.CORBA.ORB;

You do not need to specify port number or channel if you are using VisiBroker.

Chapter 7. Writing MQ base Java programs

Queue manager operations

Operations on queue managers

This section describes how to connect to, and disconnect from, a queue manager using MQSeries classes for Java.

Setting up the MQSeries environment

Note: This step is not necessary when using MQSeries classes for Java in bindings mode. In that case, go directly to Connecting to a queue manager. Before you use the client connection to connect to a queue manager, you must take care to set up the MQEnvironment. The C based MQSeries clients rely on environment variables to control the behavior of the MQCONN call. Because Java applets have no access to environment variables, the Java programming interface includes a class MQEnvironment. This class allows you to specify the following details that are to be used during the connection attempt: v Channel name v Hostname v Port number v User ID v Password To specify the channel name and hostname, use the following code:
MQEnvironment.hostname = "host.domain.com"; MQEnvironment.channel = "java.client.channel";

This is equivalent to an MQSERVER environment variable setting of:

"java.client.channel/TCP/host.domain.com".

By default, the Java clients attempt to connect to an MQSeries listener at port 1414. To specify a different port, use the code:
MQEnvironment.port = nnnn;

The user ID and password default to blanks. To specify a non-blank user ID or password, use the code:
MQEnvironment.userID = "uid"; // equivalent to env var MQ_USER_ID MQEnvironment.password = "pwd"; // equivalent to env var MQ_PASSWORD

Note: If you are setting up a connection using VisiBroker for Java, see Changing the connection to use VisiBroker for Java on page 55.

Connecting to a queue manager

You are now ready to connect to a queue manager by creating a new instance of the MQQueueManager class:
MQQueueManager queueManager = new MQQueueManager("qMgrName");

To disconnect from a queue manager, call the disconnect() method on the queue manager:
queueManager.disconnect();

MQSeries Using Java

Queue manager operations

If you call the disconnect method, all open queues and processes that you have accessed through that queue manager will be closed. However, it is good programming practice to close these resources explicitly when you finish using them. To do this, use the close() method. The commit() and backout() methods on a queue manager replace the MQCMIT and MQBACK calls that are used with the procedural interface.

Accessing queues and processes

To access queues and processes, you use the MQQueueManager class. The MQOD (object descriptor structure) is collapsed into the parameters of these methods. For example, to open a queue on a queue manager queueManager, use the following code:
MQQueue queue = queueManager.accessQueue("qName", MQC.MQOO_OUTPUT, "qMgrName", "dynamicQName", "altUserId");

The options parameter is the same as the Options parameter in the MQOPEN call. The accessQueue method returns a new object of class MQQueue. When you have finished using the queue, use the close() method to close it, as in the following example:
queue.close();

With MQSeries classes for Java, you can also create a queue by using the MQQueue constructor. The parameters are exactly the same as for the accessQueue method, with the addition of a queue manager parameter. For example:
MQQueue queue = new MQQueue(queueManager, "qName", MQC.MQOO_OUTPUT, "qMgrName", "dynamicQName", "altUserId");

Constructing a queue object in this way enables you to write your own subclasses of MQQueue. To access a process, use the accessProcess method in place of accessQueue. This method does not have a dynamic queue name parameter, because this does not apply to processes. The accessProcess method returns a new object of class MQProcess. When you have finished using the process object, use the close() method to close it, as in the following example:
process.close();

With MQSeries classes for Java, you can also create a process by using the MQProcess constructor. The parameters are exactly the same as for the accessProcess method, with the addition of a queue manager parameter. Constructing a process object in this way enables you to write your own subclasses of MQProcess.

Chapter 7. Writing MQ base Java programs

Message handling

Handling messages
You put messages onto queues using the put() method of the MQQueue class. You get messages from queues using the get() method of the MQQueue class. Unlike the procedural interface, where MQPUT and MQGET put and get arrays of bytes, the Java programming language puts and gets instances of the MQMessage class. The MQMessage class encapsulates the data buffer that contains the actual message data, together with all the MQMD (message descriptor) parameters that describe that message. To build a new message, create a new instance of the MQMessage class, and use the writeXXX methods to put data into the message buffer. When the new message instance is created, all the MQMD parameters are automatically set to their default values, as defined in the MQSeries Application Programming Reference. The put() method of MQQueue also takes an instance of the MQPutMessageOptions class as a parameter. This class represents the MQPMO structure. The following example creates a message and puts it onto a queue:
// Build a new message containing my age followed by my name MQMessage myMessage = new MQMessage(); myMessage.writeInt(25); String name = "Wendy Ling"; myMessage.writeInt(name.length()); myMessage.writeBytes(name); // Use the default put message options... MQPutMessageOptions pmo = new MQPutMessageOptions(); // put the message! queue.put(myMessage,pmo);

The get() method of MQQueue returns a new instance of MQMessage, which represents the message just taken from the queue. It also takes an instance of the MQGetMessageOptions class as a parameter. This class represents the MQGMO structure. You do not need to specify a maximum message size, because the get() method automatically adjusts the size of its internal buffer to fit the incoming message. Use the readXXX methods of the MQMessage class to access the data in the returned message. The following example shows how to get a message from a queue:
// Get a message from the queue MQMessage theMessage = new MQMessage(); MQGetMessageOptions gmo = new MQGetMessageOptions(); queue.get(theMessage,gmo); // has default values // Extract the message data int age = theMessage.readInt(); int strLen = theMessage.readInt(); byte[] strData = new byte[strLen]; theMessage.readFully(strData,0,strLen); String name = new String(strData,0);

You can alter the number format that the read and write methods use by setting the encoding member variable.

MQSeries Using Java

Message handling
You can alter the character set to use for reading and writing strings by setting the characterSet member variable. See MQMessage on page 102 for more details. Note: The writeUTF() method of MQMessage automatically encodes the length of the string as well as the Unicode bytes it contains. When your message will be read by another Java program (using readUTF()), this is the simplest way to send string information.

Handling errors
Methods in the Java interface do not return a completion code and reason code. Instead, they throw an exception whenever the completion code and reason code resulting from an MQSeries call are not both zero. This simplifies the program logic so that you do not have to check the return codes after each call to MQSeries. You can decide at which points in your program you want to deal with the possibility of failure. At these points, you can surround your code with try and catch blocks, as in the following example:
try { myQueue.put(messageA,putMessageOptionsA); myQueue.put(messageB,putMessageOptionsB); } catch (MQException ex) { // This block of code is only executed if one of // the two put methods gave rise to a non-zero // completion code or reason code. System.out.println("An error occurred during the put operation:" + "CC = " + ex.completionCode + "RC = " + ex.reasonCode); }

The MQSeries call reason codes reported back in Java exceptions are documented in a chapter called Return Codes in the MQSeries Application Programming Reference book.

Getting and setting attribute values

For many of the common attributes, the classes MQManagedObject, MQQueue, MQProcess, and MQQueueManager contain getXXX() and setXXX() methods. These methods allow you to get and set their attribute values. Note that for MQQueue, the methods will work only if you specify the appropriate inquire and set flags when you open the queue. For less common attributes, the MQQueueManager, MQQueue, and MQProcess classes all inherit from a class called MQManagedObject. This class defines the inquire() and set() interfaces. When you create a new queue manager object by using the new operator, it is automatically opened for inquiry. When you use the accessProcess() method to access a process object, that object is automatically opened for inquiry. When you use the accessQueue() method to access a queue object, that object is not automatically opened for either inquire or set operations. This is because adding these options automatically can cause problems with some types of remote queues. To use the inquire, set, getXXX, and setXXX methods on a queue, you must specify the appropriate inquire and set flags in the openOptions parameter of the accessQueue() method.
Chapter 7. Writing MQ base Java programs

Using attribute values

The inquire and set methods take three parameters: v selectors array v intAttrs array v charAttrs array You do not need the SelectorCount, IntAttrCount, and CharAttrLength parameters that are found in MQINQ, because the length of an array in Java is always known. The following example shows how to make an inquiry on a queue:
// inquire on a queue final static int MQIA_DEF_PRIORITY = 6; final static int MQCA_Q_DESC = 2013; final static int MQ_Q_DESC_LENGTH = 64; int[] selectors = new int[2]; int[] intAttrs = new int[1]; byte[] charAttrs = new byte[MQ_Q_DESC_LENGTH] selectors[0] = MQIA_DEF_PRIORITY; selectors[1] = MQCA_Q_DESC; queue.inquire(selectors,intAttrs,charAttrs); System.out.println("Default Priority = " + intAttrs[0]); System.out.println("Description : " + new String(charAttrs,0));

Multithreaded programs
Multithreaded programs are hard to avoid in Java. Consider a simple program that connects to a queue manager and opens a queue at startup. The program displays a single button on the screen. When a user presses that button, the program fetches a message from the queue. The Java runtime environment is inherently multithreaded. Therefore, your application initialization occurs in one thread, and the code that executes in response to the button press executes in a separate thread (the user interface thread). With the C based MQSeries client, this would cause a problem, because handles cannot be shared across multiple threads. MQSeries classes for Java relaxes this constraint, allowing a queue manager object (and its associated queue and process objects) to be shared across multiple threads. The implementation of MQSeries classes for Java ensures that, for a given connection (MQQueueManager object instance), all access to the target MQSeries queue manager is synchronized. Therefore, a thread wishing to issue a call to a queue manager is blocked until all other calls in progress for that connection are complete. If you require simultaneous access to the same queue manager from multiple threads within your program, create a new MQQueueManager object for each thread that requires concurrent access. (This is equivalent to issuing a separate MQCONN call for each thread.)

MQSeries Using Java

Writing user exits

MQSeries classes for Java allows you to provide your own send, receive, and security exits. To implement an exit, you define a new Java class that implements the appropriate interface. Three exit interfaces are defined in the MQSeries package: v MQSendExit v MQReceiveExit v MQSecurityExit The following sample defines a class that implements all three:
class MyMQExits implements MQSendExit, MQReceiveExit, MQSecurityExit { // This method comes from the send exit public byte[] sendExit(MQChannelExit channelExitParms, MQChannelDefinition channelDefParms, byte agentBuffer[]) { // fill in the body of the send exit here } // This method comes from the receive exit public byte[] receiveExit(MQChannelExit channelExitParms, MQChannelDefinition channelDefParms, byte agentBuffer[]) { // fill in the body of the receive exit here } // This method comes from the security exit public byte[] securityExit(MQChannelExit channelExitParms, MQChannelDefinition channelDefParms, byte agentBuffer[]) { // fill in the body of the security exit here } }

Each exit is passed an MQChannelExit and an MQChannelDefinition object instance. These objects represent the MQCXP and MQCD structures defined in the procedural interface. For a Send exit, the agentBuffer parameter contains the data that is about to be sent. For a Receive exit or a Security exit, the agentBuffer parameter contains the data that has just been received. You do not need a length parameter, because the expression agentBuffer.length indicates the length of the array. For the Send and Security exits, your exit code should return the byte array that you wish to send to the server. For a Receive exit, your exit code should return the modified data that you wish MQSeries classes for Java to interpret. The simplest possible exit body is:
{ } return agentBuffer;

Chapter 7. Writing MQ base Java programs

Writing user exits

If your program is to run as a downloaded Java applet, the security restrictions that apply mean that you cannot read or write any local files. If your exit needs a configuration file, you can place the file on the Web and use the java.net.URL class to download it and examine its contents.

Connection pooling
MQSeries classes for Java Version 5.2 provides additional support for applications that deal with multiple connections to MQSeries queue managers. When a connection is no longer required, instead of destroying it, it can be pooled, and later reused. This can provide a substantial performance enhancement for applications and middleware that connect serially to arbitrary queue managers. MQSeries provides a default connection pool. Applications can activate or deactivate this connection pool by registering and deregistering tokens through the MQEnvironment class. If the pool is active, when MQ base Java constructs an MQQueueManager object, it searches this default pool and reuses any suitable connection. When an MQQueueManager.disconnect() call occurs, the underlying connection is returned to the pool. Alternatively, applications can construct an MQSimpleConnectionManager connection pool for a particular use. Then, the application can either specify that pool during construction of an MQQueueManager object, or pass that pool to MQEnvironment for use as the default connection pool. Also, MQ base Java provides a partial implementation of the Java 2 Platform Enterprise Edition (J2EE) Connector Architecture. Applications running under a Java 2 v1.3 JVM with JAAS 1.0 (Java Authentication and Authorization Service) can provide their own connection pool by implementing the javax.resource.spi.ConnectionManager interface. Again, this interface can be specified on the MQQueueManager constructor, or specified as the default connection pool.

Controlling the default connection pool

Consider the following example application, MQApp1:
import com.ibm.mq.*; public class MQApp1 { public static void main(String[] args) throws MQException { for (int i=0; i<args.length; i++) { MQQueueManager qmgr=new MQQueueManager(args[i]); : : (do something with qmgr) : qmgr.disconnect(); } } }

MQApp1 takes a list of local queue managers from the command line, connects to each in turn, and performs some operation. However, when the command line lists the same queue manager many times, it is more efficient to connect only once, and to reuse that connection many times.

MQSeries Using Java

Connection pooling
MQ base Java provides a default connection pool that you can use to do this. To enable the pool, use one of the MQEnvironment.addConnectionPoolToken() methods. To disable the pool, use MQEnvironment.removeConnectionPoolToken(). The following example application, MQApp2, is functionally identical to MQApp1, but connects only once to each queue manager.
import com.ibm.mq.*; public class MQApp2 { public static void main(String[] args) throws MQException { MQPoolToken token=MQEnvironment.addConnectionPoolToken(); for (int i=0; i<args.length; i++) { MQQueueManager qmgr=new MQQueueManager(args[i]); : : (do something with qmgr) : qmgr.disconnect(); } MQEnvironment.removeConnectionPoolToken(token); } }

The first bold line activates the default connection pool, by registering an MQPoolToken object with MQEnvironment. The MQQueueManager constructor now searches this pool for an appropriate connection and only creates a connection to the queue manager if it cannot find an existing one. The qmgr.disconnect() call returns the connection to the pool for later reuse. These API calls are the same as the sample application MQApp1. The second highlighted line deactivates the default connection pool, which destroys any queue manager connections stored in the pool. This is important because otherwise, the application would terminate with a number of live queue manager connections in the pool. This situation could cause errors that would appear in the queue manager logs. The default connection pool stores a maximum of ten unused connections, and keeps unused connections active for a maximum of five minutes. The application can alter this (for details, see Supplying a different connection pool on page 67). Instead of using MQEnvironment to supply an MQPoolToken, the application can construct its own:
MQPoolToken token=new MQPoolToken(); MQEnvironment.addConnectionPoolToken(token);

Some applications or middleware vendors may provide subclasses of MQPoolToken in order to pass information to a custom connection pool. They can be constructed and passed to addConnectionPoolToken() in this way so that extra information can be passed to the connection pool.

Chapter 7. Writing MQ base Java programs

Connection pooling

The default connection pool and multiple components

MQEnvironment holds a static set of registered MQPoolToken objects. To add or remove MQPoolTokens from this set, use the following methods: v MQEnvironment.addConnectionPoolToken() v MQEnvironment.removeConnectionPoolToken() An application might consist of many components that exist independently and perform work using a queue manager. In such an application, each component should add an MQPoolToken to the MQEnvironment set for its lifetime. For example, the example application MQApp3 creates ten threads and starts each one. Each thread registers its own MQPoolToken, waits for a length of time, then connects to the queue manager. After the thread disconnects, it removes its own MQPoolToken. The default connection pool remains active while there is at least one token in the set of MQPoolTokens, so it will remain active for the duration of this application. The application does not need to keep a master object in overall control of the threads.
import com.ibm.mq.*; public class MQApp3 { public static void main(String[] args) { for (int i=0; i<10; i++) { MQApp3_Thread thread=new MQApp3_Thread(i*60000); thread.start(); } } } class MQApp3_Thread extends Thread { long time; public MQApp3_Thread(long time) { this.time=time; } public synchronized void run() { MQPoolToken token=MQEnvironment.addConnectionPoolToken(); try { wait(time); MQQueueManager qmgr=new MQQueueManager("my.qmgr.1"); : : (do something with qmgr) : qmgr.disconnect(); } catch (MQException mqe) {System.err.println("Error occurred!");} catch (InterruptedException ie) {} } MQEnvironment.removeConnectionPoolToken(token);

MQSeries Using Java

Connection pooling

Supplying a different connection pool

This section describes how to use the class com.ibm.mq.MQSimpleConnectionManager to supply a different connection pool. This class provides basic facilities for connection pooling, and applications can use this class to customize the behavior of the pool. Once it is instantiated, an MQSimpleConnectionManager may be specified on the MQQueueManager constructor. The MQSimpleConnectionManager then manages the connection that underlies the constructed MQQueueManager. If the MQSimpleConnectionManager contains a suitable pooled connection, that connection will be reused, and it will be returned to the MQSimpleConnectionManager after an MQQueueManager.disconnect() call. The following code fragment demonstrates this behavior:
MQSimpleConnectionManager myConnMan=new MQSimpleConnectionManager(); myConnMan.setActive(MQSimpleConnectionManager.MODE_ACTIVE); MQQueueManager qmgr=new MQQueueManager("my.qmgr.1", myConnMan); : : (do something with qmgr) : qmgr.disconnect(); MQQueueManager qmgr2=new MQQueueManager("my.qmgr.1", myConnMan); : : (do something with qmgr2) : qmgr2.disconnect(); myConnMan.setActive(MQSimpleConnectionManager.MODE_INACTIVE);

The connection that is forged during the first MQQueueManager constructor is stored in myConnMan after the qmgr.disconnect() call. The connection is then reused during the second call to the MQQueueManager constructor. The second line enables the MQSimpleConnectionManager. The last line disables MQSimpleConnectionManager, destroying any connections held in the pool. An MQSimpleConnectionManager is, by default, in MODE_AUTO, which is described later in this section. An MQSimpleConnectionManager allocates connections on a most-recently-used basis, and destroys connections on a least-recently-used basis. By default, a connection is destroyed if it has not been used for five minutes, or if there are more than ten unused connections in the pool. You can alter these values using: v MQSimpleConnectionManager.setTimeout() v MQSimpleConnectionManager.setHighThreshold() It is also possible to set up an MQSimpleConnectionManager for use as the default connection pool, to be used when no Connection Manager is supplied on the MQQueueManager constructor.

Chapter 7. Writing MQ base Java programs

Connection pooling
The following application demonstrates this:
import com.ibm.mq.*; public class MQApp4 { public static void main(String[] args) { MQSimpleConnectionManager myConnMan=new MQSimpleConnectionManager(); myConnMan.setActive(MQSimpleConnectionManager.MODE_AUTO); myConnMan.setTimeout(3600000); myConnMan.setHighThreshold(50); MQEnvironment.setDefaultConnectionManager(myConnMan); MQApp3.main(args); } }

The bold lines set up an MQSimpleConnectionManager. This is set to: v destroy connections that have not been used for an hour v limit the number of unused connections held in the pool to 50 v MODE_AUTO (actually the default). This means that the pool is active only if it is the default connection manager, and there is at least one token in the set of MQPoolTokens held by MQEnvironment. The new MQSimpleConnectionManager is then set as the default connection manager. In the last line, the application calls MQApp3.main(). This runs a number of threads, where each thread uses MQSeries independently. These threads will now use myConnMan when they forge connections.

Supplying your own ConnectionManager

Under Java 2 v1.3, with JAAS 1.0 installed, applications and middleware providers can provide alternative implementations of connection pools. MQ base Java provides a partial implementation of the J2EE Connector Architecture. Implementations of javax.resource.spi.ConnectionManager can either be used as the default Connection Manager or be specified on the MQQueueManager constructor. MQ base Java complies with the Connection Management contract of the J2EE Connector Architecture. Please read this section in conjunction with the Connection Management contract of the J2EE Connector Architecture (refer to Suns Web site at http://java.sun.com). The ConnectionManager interface defines only one method:
package javax.resource.spi; public interface ConnectionManager { Object allocateConnection(ManagedConnectionFactory mcf, ConnectionRequestInfo cxRequestInfo); }

The MQQueueManager constructor calls allocateConnection on the appropriate ConnectionManager. It passes appropriate implementations of ManagedConnectionFactory and ConnectionRequestInfo as parameters to describe the connection required. The ConnectionManager searches its pool for a javax.resource.spi.ManagedConnection object that has been created with identical ManagedConnectionFactory and ConnectionRequestInfo objects. If the

MQSeries Using Java

Connection pooling
ConnectionManager finds any suitable ManagedConnection objects, it creates a java.util.Set that contains the candidate ManagedConnections. Then, the ConnectionManager calls the following:
ManagedConnection mc=mcf.matchManagedConnections(connectionSet, subject, cxRequestInfo);

The MQSeries implementation of ManagedConnectionFactory ignores the subject parameter. This method selects and returns a suitable ManagedConnection from the set, or returns null if it does not find a suitable ManagedConnection. If there is not a suitable ManagedConnection in the pool, the ConnectionManager can create one by using:
ManagedConnection mc=mcf.createManagedConnection(subject, cxRequestInfo);

Again, the subject parameter is ignored. This method connects to an MQSeries queue manager and returns an implementation of javax.resource.spi.ManagedConnection that represents the newly-forged connection. Once the ConnectionManager has obtained a ManagedConnection (either from the pool or freshly created), it creates a connection handle using:
Object handle=mc.getConnection(subject, cxRequestInfo);

This connection handle can be returned from allocateConnection(). A ConnectionManager should register an interest in the ManagedConnection through:
mc.addConnectionEventListener()

The ConnectionEventListener is notified if a severe error occurs on the connection, or when MQQueueManager.disconnect() is called. When MQQueueManager.disconnect() is called, the ConnectionEventListener can do either of the following: v reset the ManagedConnection using the mc.cleanup() call, then return the ManagedConnection to the pool v destroy the ManagedConnection using the mc.destroy() call If the ConnectionManager is intended to be the default ConnectionManager, it can also register an interest in the state of the MQEnvironment-managed set of MQPoolTokens. To do so, first construct an MQPoolServices object, then register an MQPoolServicesEventListener object with the MQPoolServices object:
MQPoolServices mqps=new MQPoolServices(); mqps.addMQPoolServicesEventListener(listener);

The listener is notified when an MQPoolToken is added or removed from the set, or when the default ConnectionManager changes. The MQPoolServices object also provides a way to query the current size of the set of MQPoolTokens.

Compiling and testing MQ base Java programs

Before compiling MQ base Java programs, you must ensure that your MQSeries classes for Java installation directory is in your CLASSPATH environment variable, as described in Chapter 2. Installation procedures on page 7. To compile a class MyClass.java, use the command:
javac MyClass.java

Chapter 7. Writing MQ base Java programs

Running MQ base Java applets

If you write an applet (subclass of java.applet.Applet), you must create an HTML file referencing your class before you can run it. A sample HTML file might look as follows:
<html> <body> <applet code="MyClass.class" width=200 height=400> </applet> </body> </html>

Run your applet either by loading this HTML file into a Java enabled Web browser, or by using the appletviewer that comes with the Java Development Kit (JDK). To use the applet viewer, enter the command:
appletviewer myclass.html

Running MQ base Java applications

If you write an application (a class that contains a main() method), using either the client or the bindings mode, run your program using the Java interpreter. Use the command:
java MyClass

Note: The .class extension is omitted from the class name.

Tracing MQ base Java programs

MQ base Java includes a trace facility, which you can use to produce diagnostic messages if you suspect that there might be a problem with the code. (You will normally need to use this facility only at the request of IBM service.) Tracing is controlled by the enableTracing and disableTracing methods of the MQEnvironment class. For example:
MQEnvironment.enableTracing(2); ... MQEnvironment.disableTracing(); // trace at level 2 // these commands will be traced // turn tracing off again

The trace is written to the Java console (System.err). If your program is an application, or if you run it from your local disk using the appletviewer command, you can also redirect the trace output to a file of your choice. The following code fragment shows an example of how to redirect the trace output to a file called myapp.trc:
import java.io.*; try { FileOutputStream traceFile = new FileOutputStream("myapp.trc"); MQEnvironment.enableTracing(2,traceFile); } catch (IOException ex) { // couldn't open the file, // trace to System.err instead MQEnvironment.enableTracing(2); }

There are five different levels of tracing:

Chapter 8. Environment-dependent behavior

This chapter describes the behavior of the Java classes in the various environments in which you can use them. The MQSeries classes for Java classes allow you to create applications that can be used in the following environments: 1. MQSeries Client for Java connected to an MQSeries V2.x server on UNIX or Windows platforms 2. MQSeries Client for Java connected to an MQSeries V5 server on UNIX or Windows platforms 3. MQSeries Client for Java connected to an MQSeries for OS/390 server 4. MQSeries Bindings for Java executing on an MQSeries V5 server on UNIX or Windows platforms 5. MQSeries Bindings for Java executing on an MQSeries for OS/390 server In all cases, the MQSeries classes for Java code uses services that are provided by the underlying MQSeries server. There are differences in the level of function (for example, MQSeries V5 provides a superset of the function of V2). There are also differences in the behavior of some API calls and options. Most behavior differences are minor, and most of them are between the OS/390 servers and the servers on other platforms. | | | | | In the list of environments above, an MQSeries for OS/390 server can be running any of the following supported queue managers: v MQSeries for MVS/ESA V1R2 v MQSeries for OS/390 V2R1 v MQSeries for OS/390 V5R2 MQSeries classes for Java provides a core of classes, which provide consistent function and behavior in all the environments. It also provides V5 extensions, which are designed for use only in environments 2 and 4. The following sections describe the core and extensions.

Notes: 1. Some constants are not included in the core (see Restrictions and variations for core classes for details), and you should not use them in completely portable programs. 2. Some platforms do not support all connection modes. On these platforms, you can use only the core classes and options that relate to the supported modes. (See Table 1 on page 5.)

Restrictions and variations for core classes

Although the core classes generally behave consistently across all environments, there are some minor restrictions and variations, which are documented in Table 12. Apart from these documented variations, the core classes provide consistent behavior across all environments, even if the equivalent MQSeries classes normally have environment differences. In general, the behavior will be the same as in environments 2 and 4.

Environments 3 and 5 return a maximum backout count of 255, even if the message has been backed out more than 255 times. CSQ.* for environments 3 and 5. AMQ.* for other systems. Not supported if a report message is generated by an OS/390 queue manager, although they may be set in all environments. This issue affects all Java environments, because the OS/390 queue manager could be distant from the Java application. Avoid relying on any of these options if there is a chance that an OS/390 queue manager could be involved. In environment 5, if the options present in MQEnvironment (and the optional properties argument) imply a client connection, the constructor fails with MQRC_ENVIRONMENT_ERROR. In environment 5, the constructor may also return MQRC_CHAR_CONVERSION_ERROR. Ensure that the National Language Resources component of the OS/390 Language Environment is installed. In particular, ensure that conversions are available between the IBM-1047 and ISO8859-1 code pages. In environment 5, the constructor may also return MQRC_UCS2_CONVERSION_ERROR. The MQSeries classes for Java attempt to convert from Unicode to the queue manager code page, and default to IBM-500 if a specific code page is unavailable. Ensure that you have appropriate conversion tables for Unicode, which should be installed as part of the OS/390 C/C++ optional feature, and ensure that the Language Environment can locate the tables. See the OS/390 C/C++ Programming Guide, SC09-2362, for more information about enabling UCS-2 conversions.

MQQueueManager constructor

Version 5 extensions operating in other environments

MQSeries classes for Java contains the following functions that are specifically designed to use the API extensions introduced in MQSeries V5. These functions operate as designed only in environments 2 and 4. This topic describes how they would behave in other environments. MQQueueManager constructor option The MQQueueManager constructor includes an optional integer argument. This maps onto the MQIs MQCNO.options field, and is used to switch between normal and fastpath connection. This extended form of the constructor is accepted in all environments, provided that the only options used are MQCNO_STANDARD_BINDING or MQCNO_FASTPATH_BINDING. Any other options cause the constructor
Chapter 8. Environment-dependent behavior

V5 extensions
to fail with MQRC_OPTIONS_ERROR. The fastpath option MQC.MQCNO_FASTPATH_BINDING is only honored when used in the MQSeries V5 bindings (environment 4). If this option is used in any other environment, it is ignored. MQQueueManager.begin() method This can be used only in environment 4. In any other environment, it fails with MQRC_ENVIRONMENT_ERROR. MQSeries for AS/400 does not support the use of the begin() method to initiate global units of work that are coordinated by the queue manager. MQPutMessageOptions options The following flags may be set into the MQPutMessageOptions options fields in any environment. However, if these flags are used with a subsequent MQQueue.put() in any environment other than 2 or 4, the put() fails with MQRC_OPTIONS_ERROR. v MQPMO_NEW_MSG_ID v MQPMO_NEW_CORREL_ID v MQPMO_LOGICAL_ORDER MQGetMessageOptions options The following flags may be set into the MQGetMessageOptions options fields in any environment. However, if these flags are used with a subsequent MQQueue.get() in any environment other than 2 or 4, the get() fails with MQRC_OPTIONS_ERROR. v MQGMO_LOGICAL_ORDER v MQGMO_COMPLETE_MESSAGE v MQGMO_ALL_MSGS_AVAILABLE v MQGMO_ALL_SEGMENTS_AVAILABLE The following flag may be set into the MQGetMessageOptions options fields in any environment. However, if this flag is used with a subsequent MQQueue.get() in environment 1, the get() fails with MQRC_OPTIONS_ERROR. v MQGMO_SYNCPOINT_IF_PERSISTENT MQGetMessageOptions fields Values may be set into the following fields, regardless of the environment. However, if the MQGetMessageOptions used on a subsequent MQQueue.get() contains non-default values when running in any environment other than 2 or 4, the get() fails with MQRC_GMO_ERROR. In environments other than 2 or 4, these fields are always set to their initial values after every successful get(). v MatchOptions v GroupStatus v SegmentStatus v Segmentation Note: With MQSeries for OS/390 V2R1 or MQSeries for OS/390 V5R2 running on the server, the MatchOptions field does support the flags MQMO_MATCH_MSG_ID and MQMO_MATCH_CORREL_ID. Other flags cause the get() to fail with MQRC_GMO_ERROR. Distribution Lists The following classes are used to create Distribution Lists: v MQDistributionList v MQDistributionListItem v MQMessageTracker

| | | |

MQSeries Using Java

V5 extensions
You can create and populate MQDistributionList and MQDistributionListItems in any environment, but you can only create and open MQDistributionList successfully in environments 2 and 4. An attempt to create and open one in any other environment is rejected with MQRC_OD_ERROR. MQPutMessageOptions fields Four fields in MQPMO are rendered as the following member variables in the MQPutMessageOptions class: v knownDestCount v unknownDestCount v invalidDestCount v recordFields Although primarily intended for use with distribution lists, the MQSeries V5 server also fills in the DestCount fields after an MQPUT to a single queue. For example, if the queue resolves to a local queue, knownDestCount is set to 1 and the other two fields are set to 0. In environments 2 and 4, the values set by the V5 server are returned in the MQPutMessageOptions class. In the other environments, return values are simulated as follows: v If the put() succeeds, unknownDestCount is set to 1, and the others are set to 0. v If the put() fails, invalidDestCount is set to 1, and the others are set to 0. recordFields is used with distribution lists. A value may be written into recordFields at any time, regardless of the environment. However, it is ignored if the MQPutMessage options are used on a subsequent MQQueue.put(), rather than MQDistributionList.put(). MQMD fields The following MQMD fields are largely concerned with message segmentation: v GroupId v MsgSeqNumber v Offset MsgFlags v OriginalLength If an application sets any of these MQMD fields to non-default values, and then does a put() to or get() in an environment other than 2 or 4, the put() or get() raises an exception (MQRC_MD_ERROR). A successful put() or get() in an environment other than 2 or 4, always leaves the new MQMD fields set to their default values. A grouped or segmented message should not normally be sent to a Java application that runs against a queue manager that is not MQSeries Version 5 or higher. If such an application does issue a get, and the physical message to be retrieved is part of a group or segmented message (it has non-default values for the MQMD fields), it is retrieved without error. However, the MQMD fields in the MQMessage are not updated. The MQMessage format property is set to MQFMT_MD_EXTENSION, and the true message data is prefixed with an MQMDE structure that contains the values for the new fields.

MQSeries Using Java

MQChannelExit
exitID public int exitID The type of exit that has been invoked. For an MQSecurityExit this is always MQXT_CHANNEL_SEC_EXIT. For an MQSendExit this is always MQXT_CHANNEL_SEND_EXIT, and for an MQReceiveExit this is always MQXT_CHANNEL_RCV_EXIT. exitReason public int exitReason The reason for invoking the exit. Possible values are: MQXR_INIT Exit initialization; called after the channel connection conditions have been negotiated, but before any security flows have been sent. MQXR_TERM Exit termination; called after the disconnect flows have been sent but before the socket connection is destroyed. MQXR_XMIT For a send exit, indicates that data is to be transmitted to the queue manager. For a receive exit, indicates that data has been received from the queue manager. MQXR_SEC_MSG Indicates to the security exit that a security message has been received from the queue manager. MQXR_INIT_SEC Indicates that the exit is to initiate the security dialog with the queue manager. exitResponse public int exitResponse Set by the exit to indicate the action that MQSeries classes for Java should take next. Valid values are: MQXCC_OK Set by the security exit to indicate that security exchanges are complete. Set by send exit to indicate that the returned data is to be transmitted to the queue manager. Set by the receive exit to indicate that the returned data is available for processing by the MQSeries Client for Java. MQXCC_SUPPRESS_FUNCTION Set by the security exit to indicate that communications with the queue manager should be shut down. MQXCC_SEND_AND_REQUEST_SEC_MSG Set by the security exit to indicate that the returned data is to be transmitted to the queue manager, and that a response is expected from the queue manager.

Chapter 9. The MQ base Java classes and interfaces

MQDistributionList

MQDistributionList
java.lang.Object com.ibm.mq.MQManagedObject com.ibm.mq.MQDistributionList

public class MQDistributionList extends MQManagedObject (See page 99.) Note: You can use this class only when connected to an MQSeries Version 5 (or higher) queue manager. An MQDistributionList is created by using the MQDistributionList constructor, or by using the accessDistributionList method for MQQueueManager. A distribution list represents a set of open queues to which messages can be sent using a single call to the put() method. (See Distribution lists in the MQSeries Application Programming Guide.)

Constructors
MQDistributionList
public MQDistributionList(MQQueueManager qMgr, MQDistributionListItem[] litems, int openOptions, String alternateUserId) throws MQException

qMgr is the queue manager where the list is to be opened. litems are the items to be included in the distribution list. See accessDistributionList on page 148 for details of the remaining parameters.

Methods
put
public synchronized void put(MQMessage message, MQPutMessageOptions putMessageOptions ) throws MQException

Puts a message to the queues on the distribution list. Parameters message An input/output parameter containing the message descriptor information and the returned message data. putMessageOptions Options that control the action of MQPUT. (See MQPutMessageOptions on page 129 for details.) Throws MQException if the put fails.

Chapter 9. The MQ base Java classes and interfaces

MQDistributionList
getFirstDistributionListItem public MQDistributionListItem getFirstDistributionListItem() Returns the first item in the distribution list, or null if the list is empty. getValidDestinationCount public int getValidDestinationCount() Returns the number of items in the distribution list that were opened successfully. getInvalidDestinationCount public int getInvalidDestinationCount() Returns the number of items in the distribution list that failed to open successfully.

MQSeries Using Java

MQDistributionListItem

MQDistributionListItem
java.lang.Object com.ibm.mq.MQMessageTracker com.ibm.mq.MQDistributionListItem

public class MQDistributionListItem extends MQMessageTracker (See page 121.) Note: You can use this class only when connected to an MQSeries Version 5 (or higher) queue manager. An MQDistributionListItem represents a single item (queue) within a distribution list.

Variables
completionCode public int completionCode The completion code resulting from the last operation on this item. If this was the construction of an MQDistributionList, the completion code relates to the opening of the queue. If it was a put operation, the completion code relates to the attempt to put a message onto this queue. The initial value is 0. queueName public String queueName The name of a queue you want to use with a distribution list. This cannot be the name of a model queue. The initial value is . queueManagerName public String queueManagerName The name of the queue manager on which the queue is defined. The initial value is . reasonCode public int reasonCode The reason code resulting from the last operation on this item. If this was the construction of an MQDistributionList, the reason code relates to the opening of the queue. If it was a put operation, the reason code relates to the attempt to put a message onto this queue. The initial value is 0.

Constructors
MQDistributionListItem public MQDistributionListItem() Construct a new MQDistributionListItem object.

Chapter 9. The MQ base Java classes and interfaces

MQEnvironment

MQEnvironment
java.lang.Object com.ibm.mq.MQEnvironment

public class MQEnvironment extends Object Note: All the methods and attributes of this class apply to the MQSeries classes for Java client connections, but only enableTracing, disableTracing, properties, and version_notice apply to bindings connections. MQEnvironment contains static member variables that control the environment in which an MQQueueManager object (and its corresponding connection to MQSeries) is constructed. Values set in the MQEnvironment class take effect when the MQQueueManager constructor is called, so you should set the values in the MQEnvironment class before you construct an MQQueueManager instance.

Variables
Note: Variables marked with * do not apply when connecting directly to MQSeries in bindings mode. version_notice public final static String version_notice The current version of MQSeries classes for Java. securityExit* public static MQSecurityExit securityExit A security exit allows you to customize the security flows that occur when an attempt is made to connect to a queue manager. To provide your own security exit, define a class that implements the MQSecurityExit interface, and assign securityExit to an instance of that class. Otherwise, you can leave securityExit set to null, in which case no security exit will be called. See also MQSecurityExit on page 157. sendExit* public static MQSendExit sendExit A send exit allows you to examine, and possibly alter, the data sent to a queue manager. It is normally used in conjunction with a corresponding receive exit at the queue manager. To provide your own send exit, define a class that implements the MQSendExit interface, and assign sendExit to an instance of that class. Otherwise, you can leave sendExit set to null, in which case no send exit will be called. See also MQSendExit on page 159.

MQSeries Using Java

MQEnvironment
receiveExit* public static MQReceiveExit receiveExit A receive exit allows you to examine, and possibly alter, data received from a queue manager. It is normally used in conjunction with a corresponding send exit at the queue manager. To provide your own receive exit, define a class that implements the MQReceiveExit interface, and assign receiveExit to an instance of that class. Otherwise, you can leave receiveExit set to null, in which case no receive exit will be called. See also MQReceiveExit on page 155. hostname* public static String hostname The TCP/IP hostname of the machine on which the MQSeries server resides. If the hostname is not set, and no overriding properties are set, bindings mode is used to connect to the local queue manager. port* public static int port The port to connect to. This is the port on which the MQSeries server is listening for incoming connection requests. The default value is 1414. channel* public static String channel The name of the channel to connect to on the target queue manager. You must set this member variable, or the corresponding property, before constructing an MQQueueManager instance for use in client mode. userID* public static String userID Equivalent to the MQSeries environment variable MQ_USER_ID. If a security exit is not defined for this client, the value of userID is transmitted to the server and will be available to the server security exit when it is invoked. The value may be used to verify the identity of the MQSeries client. The default value is . password* public static String password Equivalent to the MQSeries environment variable MQ_PASSWORD. If a security exit is not defined for this client, the value of password is transmitted to the server and is available to the server security exit when it is invoked. The value may be used to verify the identity of the MQSeries client. The default value is . properties public static java.util.Hashtable properties A set of key/value pairs defining the MQSeries environment. This hash table allows you to set environment properties as key/value pairs rather than as individual variables.
Chapter 9. The MQ base Java classes and interfaces

MQEnvironment
The properties can also be passed as a hash table in a parameter on the MQQueueManager constructor. Properties passed on the constructor take precedence over values set with this properties variable, but they are otherwise interchangeable. The order of precedence of finding properties is: 1. properties parameter on MQQueueManager constructor 2. MQEnvironment.properties 3. Other MQEnvironment variables 4. Constant default values The possible Key/value pairs are shown in the following table:
Key MQC.CCSID_PROPERTY MQC.CHANNEL_PROPERTY MQC.CONNECT_OPTIONS_PROPERTY MQC.HOST_NAME_PROPERTY MQC.ORB_PROPERTY MQC.PASSWORD_PROPERTY MQC.PORT_PROPERTY MQC.RECEIVE_EXIT_PROPERTY MQC.SECURITY_EXIT_PROPERTY MQC.SEND_EXIT_PROPERTY MQC.TRANSPORT_PROPERTY Value Integer (overrides MQEnvironment.CCSID) String (overrides MQEnvironment.channel) Integer, defaults to MQC.MQCNO_NONE String (overrides MQEnvironment.hostname) org.omg.CORBA.ORB (optional) String (overrides MQEnvironment.password) Integer (overrides MQEnvironment.port) MQReceiveExit (overrides MQEnvironment.receiveExit) MQSecurityExit (overrides MQEnvironment.securityExit) MQSendExit (overrides MQEnvironment.sendExit.) MQC.TRANSPORT_MQSERIES_BINDINGS or MQC.TRANSPORT_MQSERIES_CLIENT or MQC.TRANSPORT_VISIBROKER or MQC.TRANSPORT_MQSERIES (the default, which selects bindings or client, based on the value of hostname.) String (overrides MQEnvironment.userID.)

MQC.USER_ID_PROPERTY

CCSID* public static int CCSID The CCSID used by the client. Changing this value affects the way that the queue manager you connect to translates information in the MQSeries headers. All data in MQSeries headers is drawn from the invariant part of the ASCII codeset, except for the data in the applicationIdData and the putApplicationName fields of the MQMessage class. (See MQMessage on page 102.) If you avoid using characters from the variant part of the ASCII codeset for these two fields, you are then safe to change the CCSID from 819 to any other ASCII codeset.

MQSeries Using Java

MQEnvironment
If you change the clients CCSID to be the same as that of the queue manager to which you are connecting, you gain a performance benefit at the queue manager because it does not attempt to translate the message headers. The default value is 819.

Constructors
MQEnvironment public MQEnvironment()

Methods
disableTracing public static void disableTracing() Turns off the MQSeries Client for Java trace facility. enableTracing public static void enableTracing(int level) Turns on the MQSeries Client for Java trace facility. Parameters level enableTracing
public static void enableTracing(int level, OutputStream stream)

The level of tracing required, from 1 to 5 (5 being the most detailed).

Turns on the MQSeries Client for Java trace facility. Parameters: level The level of tracing required, from 1 to 5 (5 being the most detailed).

stream The stream to which the trace is written. setDefaultConnectionManager

public static void setDefaultConnectionManager(MQConnectionManager cxManager)

Sets the supplied MQConnectionManager to be the default ConnectionManager. The default ConnectionManager is used when there is no ConnectionManager specified on the MQQueueManager constructor. This method also empties the set of MQPoolTokens. Parameters: cxManager The MQConnectionManager to be the default ConnectionManager.

Chapter 9. The MQ base Java classes and interfaces

MQEnvironment
setDefaultConnectionManager
public static void setDefaultConnectionManager (javax.resource.spi.ConnectionManager cxManager)

Sets the default ConnectionManager, and empties the set of MQPoolTokens. The default ConnectionManager is used when there is no ConnectionManager specified on the MQQueueManager constructor. This method requires a JVM at Java 2 v1.3 or later, with JAAS 1.0 or later installed. Parameters: cxManager The default ConnectionManager (which implements the javax.resource.spi.ConnectionManager interface). getDefaultConnectionManager
public static javax.resource.spi.ConnectionManager getDefaultConnectionManager()

Returns the default ConnectionManager. If the default ConnectionManager is actually an MQConnectionManager, returns null. addConnectionPoolToken
public static void addConnectionPoolToken(MQPoolToken token)

Adds the supplied MQPoolToken to the set of tokens. A default ConnectionManager can use this as a hint; typically, it are enabled only while there is at least one token in the set. Parameters: token The MQPoolToken to add to the set of tokens.

addConnectionPoolToken
public static MQPoolToken addConnectionPoolToken()

Constructs an MQPoolToken and adds it to the set of tokens. The MQPoolToken is returned to the application to be passed later into removeConnectionPoolToken(). removeConnectionPoolToken
public static void removeConnectionPoolToken(MQPoolToken token)

Removes the specified MQPoolToken from the set of tokens. If that MQPoolToken is not in the set, there is no action. Parameters: token The MQPoolToken to remove from the set of tokens.

MQException

MQException
java.lang.Object java.lang.Throwable java.lang.Exception com.ibm.mq.MQException

public class MQException extends Exception An MQException is thrown whenever an MQSeries error occurs. You can change the output stream for the exceptions that are logged by setting the value of MQException.log. The default value is System.err. This class contains definitions of completion code and error code constants. Constants beginning MQCC_ are MQSeries completion codes, and constants beginning MQRC_ are MQSeries reason codes. The MQSeries Application Programming Reference contains a full description of these errors and their probable causes.

Variables
log public static java.io.outputStreamWriter log Stream to which exceptions are logged. (The default is System.err.) If you set this to null, no logging occurs. completionCode public int completionCode MQSeries completion code giving rise to the error. The possible values are: v MQException.MQCC_WARNING v MQException.MQCC_FAILED reasonCode public int reasonCode MQSeries reason code describing the error. For a full explanation of the reason codes, refer to the MQSeries Application Programming Reference. exceptionSource public Object exceptionSource The object instance that threw the exception. You can use this as part of your diagnostics when determining the cause of an error.

Constructors
MQException
public MQException(int completionCode, int reasonCode, Object source)

MQGetMessageOptions

MQGetMessageOptions
java.lang.Object com.ibm.mq.MQGetMessageOptions

public class MQGetMessageOptions extends Object This class contains options that control the behavior of MQQueue.get(). Note: The behavior of some of the options available in this class depends on the environment in which they are used. These elements are marked with a *. See Chapter 8. Environment-dependent behavior on page 73 for details.

Variables
options public int options Options that control the action of MQQueue.get. Any or none of the following values can be specified. If more than one option is required, the values can be added together or combined using the bitwise OR operator. MQC.MQGMO_NONE MQC.MQGMO_WAIT Wait for a message to arrive. MQC.MQGMO_NO_WAIT Return immediately if there is no suitable message. MQC.MQGMO_SYNCPOINT Get the message under syncpoint control; the message is marked as being unavailable to other applications, but it is deleted from the queue only when the unit of work is committed. The message is made available again if the unit of work is backed out. MQC.MQGMO_NO_SYNCPOINT Get message without syncpoint control. MQC.MQGMO_BROWSE_FIRST Browse from start of queue. MQC.MQGMO_BROWSE_NEXT Browse from the current position in the queue. MQC.MQGMO_BROWSE_MSG_UNDER_CURSOR* Browse message under browse cursor. MQC.MQGMO_MSG_UNDER_CURSOR Get message under browse cursor. MQC.MQGMO_LOCK* Lock the message that is browsed. MQC.MQGMO_UNLOCK* Unlock a previously locked message. MQC.MQGMO_ACCEPT_TRUNCATED_MSG Allow truncation of message data.

Chapter 9. The MQ base Java classes and interfaces

MQGetMessageOptions
MQC.MQGMO_FAIL_IF_QUIESCING Fail if the queue manager is quiescing. MQC.MQGMO_CONVERT Request the application data to be converted, to conform to the characterSet and encoding attributes of the MQMessage, before the data is copied into the message buffer. Because data conversion is also applied as the data is retrieved from the message buffer, applications do not usually set this option. MQC.MQGMO_SYNCPOINT_IF_PERSISTENT* Get message with syncpoint control if message is persistent. MQC.MQGMO_MARK_SKIP_BACKOUT* Allow a unit of work to be backed out without reinstating the message on the queue. Segmenting and grouping MQSeries messages can be sent or received as a single entity, can be split into several segments for sending and receiving, and can also be linked to other messages in a group. Each piece of data that is sent is known as a physical message, which can be a complete logical message, or a segment of a longer logical message. Each physical message usually has a different MsgId. All the segments of a single logical message have the same groupId value and MsgSeqNumber value, but the Offset value is different for each segment. The Offset field gives the offset of the data in the physical message from the start of the logical message. The segments usually have different MsgId values, because they are individual physical messages. Logical messages that form part of a group have the same groupId value, but each message in the group has a different MsgSeqNumber value. Messages in a group can also be segmented. The following options can be used for dealing with segmented or grouped messages: MQC.MQGMO_LOGICAL_ORDER* Return messages in groups, and segments of logical messages, in logical order. MQC.MQGMO_COMPLETE_MSG* Retrieve only complete logical messages. MQC.MQGMO_ALL_MSGS_AVAILABLE* Retrieve messages from a group only when all the messages in the group are available. MQC.MQGMO_ALL_SEGMENTS_AVAILABLE* Retrieve the segments of a logical message only when all the segments in the group are available. waitInterval public int waitInterval The maximum time (in milliseconds) that an MQQueue.get call waits for a suitable message to arrive (used in conjunction with MQC.MQGMO_WAIT). A value of MQC.MQWI_UNLIMITED indicates that an unlimited wait is required.

MQSeries Using Java

MQGetMessageOptions
resolvedQueueName public String resolvedQueueName This is an output field that the queue manager sets to the local name of the queue from which the message was retrieved. This will be different from the name used to open the queue if an alias queue or model queue was opened. matchOptions* public int matchOptions Selection criteria that determine which message is retrieved. The following match options can be set: MQC.MQMO_MATCH_MSG_ID Message id to be matched. MQC.MQMO_MATCH_CORREL_ID Correlation id to be matched. MQC.MQMO_MATCH_GROUP_ID Group id to be matched. MQC.MQMO_MATCH_MSG_SEQ_NUMBER Match message sequence number. MQC.MQMO_NONE No matching required. groupStatus* public char groupStatus This is an output field which indicates whether the retrieved message is in a group, and if it is, whether it is the last in the group. Possible values are: MQC.MQGS_NOT_IN_GROUP Message is not in a group. MQC.MQGS_MSG_IN_GROUP Message is in a group, but is not the last in the group. MQC.MQGS_LAST_MSG_IN_GROUP Message is the last in the group. This is also the value returned if the group consists of only one message. segmentStatus* public char segmentStatus This is an output field that indicates whether the retrieved message is a segment of a logical message. If the message is a segment, the flag indicates whether or not it is the last segment. Possible values are: MQC.MQSS_NOT_A_SEGMENT Message is not a segment. MQC.MQSS_SEGMENT Message is a segment, but is not the last segment of the logical message. MQC.MQSS_LAST_SEGMENT Message is the last segment of the logical message. This is also the value returned if the logical message consists of only one segment.

MQMessage

MQMessage
java.lang.Object com.ibm.mq.MQMessage

public class MQMessage implements DataInput, DataOutput MQMessage represents both the message descriptor and the data for an MQSeries message. There is group of readXXX methods for reading data from a message, and a group of writeXXX methods for writing data into a message. The format of numbers and strings used by these read and write methods can be controlled by the encoding and characterSet member variables. The remaining member variables contain control information that accompanies the application message data when a message travels between sending and receiving applications. The application can set values into the member variable before putting a message to a queue and can read values after retrieving a message from a queue.

Variables
report public int report A report is a message about another message. This member variable enables the application sending the original message to specify which report messages are required, whether the application message data is to be included in them, and also how the message and correlation identifiers in the report or reply are to be set. Any, all or none of the following report types can be requested: v Exception v Expiration v Confirm on arrival v Confirm on delivery For each type, only one of the three corresponding values below should be specified, depending on whether the application message data is to be included in the report message. Note: Values marked with ** in the following list are not supported by MVS queue managers and should not be used if your application is likely to access an MVS queue manager, regardless of the platform on which the application is running. The valid values are: v MQC.MQRO_EXCEPTION v MQC.MQRO_EXCEPTION_WITH_DATA v MQC.MQRO_EXCEPTION_WITH_FULL_DATA** v MQC.MQRO_EXPIRATION v MQC.MQRO_EXPIRATION_WITH_DATA v MQC.MQRO_EXPIRATION_WITH_FULL_DATA** v MQC.MQRO_COA v MQC.MQRO_COA_WITH_DATA v MQC.MQRO_COA_WITH_FULL_DATA** v MQC.MQRO_COD v MQC.MQRO_COD_WITH_DATA v MQC.MQRO_COD_WITH_FULL_DATA**

Application-defined feedback values in the range MQC.MQFB_APPL_FIRST to MQC.MQFB_APPL_LAST can also be used. The default value of this field is MQC.MQFB_NONE, indicating that no feedback is provided. encoding public int encoding This member variable specifies the representation used for numeric values in the application message data; this applies to binary, packed decimal, and floating point data. The behavior of the read and write methods for these numeric formats is altered accordingly. The following encodings are defined for binary integers: MQC.MQENC_INTEGER_NORMAL Big-endian integers, as in Java MQC.MQENC_INTEGER_REVERSED Little-endian integers, as used by PCs. The following encodings are defined for packed-decimal integers: MQC.MQENC_DECIMAL_NORMAL Big-endian packed-decimal, as used by System/390. MQC.MQENC_DECIMAL_REVERSED Little-endian packed-decimal. The following encodings are defined for floating-point numbers: MQC.MQENC_FLOAT_IEEE_NORMAL Big-endian IEEE floats, as in Java. MQC.MQENC_FLOAT_IEEE_REVERSED Little-endian IEEE floats, as used by PCs. MQC.MQENC_FLOAT_S390 System/390 format floating points. A value for the encoding field should be constructed by adding together one value from each of these three sections (or using the bitwise OR operator). The default value is:
MQC.MQENC_INTEGER_NORMAL | MQC.MQENC_DECIMAL_NORMAL | MQC.MQENC_FLOAT_IEEE_NORMAL

For convenience, this value is also represented by MQC.MQENC_NATIVE. This setting causes writeInt() to write a big-endian integer, and readInt() to read a big-endian integer. If the flag MQC.MQENC_INTEGER_REVERSED

flag had been set instead, writeInt() would write a little-endian integer, and readInt() would read a little-endian integer. Note that a loss in precision can occur when converting from IEEE format floating points to System/390 format floating points. characterSet public int characterSet This specifies the coded character set identifier of character data in the application message data. The behavior of the readString, readLine and writeString methods is altered accordingly. The default value for this field is MQC.MQCCSI_Q_MGR. If the default value is used, CharacterSet 819 (iso-8859-1/latin/ibm819) is assumed. The character set values shown in Table 13 are supported.

MQPoolServices

MQPoolServices
java.lang.Object com.ibm.mq.MQPoolServices

public class MQPoolServices extends Object Note: Normally, applications do not use this class. The MQPoolServices class can be used by implementations of ConnectionManager that are intended for use as the default ConnectionManager for MQSeries connections. A ConnectionManager can construct an MQPoolServices object and, through it, register a listener. This listener receives events that relate to the set of MQPoolTokens that MQEnvironment manages. The ConnectionManager can use this information to perform any necessary startup or cleanup work. See also MQPoolServicesEvent on page 124 and MQPoolServicesEventListener on page 153.

Constructors

MQPoolToken

MQPoolToken
java.lang.Object com.ibm.mq.MQPoolToken

public class MQPoolToken extends Object An MQPoolToken can be used to enable the default connection pool. MQPoolTokens are registered with the MQEnvironment class before an application component connects to MQSeries. Later, they are deregistered when the component has finished using MQSeries. Typically, the default ConnectionManager is active while the set of registered MQPoolTokens is not empty. MQPoolToken provides no methods or variables. ConnectionManager providers can choose to extend MQPoolToken so that hints can be passed to the ConnectionManager. See MQEnvironment.addConnectionPoolToken on page 92 and MQEnvironment.removeConnectionPoolToken on page 92.

Constructors
MQPoolToken
public MQPoolToken()

Construct a new MQPoolToken object.

MQPutMessageOptions

MQPutMessageOptions
java.lang.Object com.ibm.mq.MQPutMessageOptions

public class MQPutMessageOptions extends Object This class contains options that control the behavior of MQQueue.put(). Note: The behavior of some of the options available in this class depends on the environment in which they are used. These elements are marked with a *. See Version 5 extensions operating in other environments on page 75 for details.

Variables
options public int options Options that control the action of MQQueue.put. Any or none of the following values can be specified. If more than one option is required the values can be added together or combined using the bitwise OR operator. MQC.MQPMO_SYNCPOINT Put a message with syncpoint control. The message is not visible outside the unit of work until the unit of work is committed. If the unit of work is backed out, the message is deleted. MQC.MQPMO_NO_SYNCPOINT Put a message without syncpoint control. Note that, if the syncpoint control option is not specified, a default of no syncpoint is assumed. This applies for all supported platforms, including OS/390. MQC.MQPMO_NO_CONTEXT No context is to be associated with the message. MQC.MQPMO_DEFAULT_CONTEXT Associate default context with the message. MQC.MQPMO_SET_IDENTITY_CONTEXT Set identity context from the application. MQC.MQPMO_SET_ALL_CONTEXT Set all context from the application. MQC.MQPMO_FAIL_IF_QUIESCING Fail if the queue manager is quiescing. MQC.MQPMO_NEW_MSG_ID* Generate a new message id for each sent message. MQC.MQPMO_NEW_CORREL_ID* Generate a new correlation id for each sent message. MQC.MQPMO_LOGICAL_ORDER* Put logical messages and segments in message groups into their logical order.

MQC.MQPMO_PASS_ALL_CONTEXT Pass all context from an input queue handle. contextReference public MQQueue ContextReference This is an input field which indicates the source of the context information. If the options field includes MQC.MQPMO_PASS_IDENTITY_CONTEXT, or MQC.MQPMO_PASS_ALL_CONTEXT, set this field to refer to the MQQueue from which the context information should be taken. The initial value of this field is null. recordFields * public int recordFields Flags indicating which fields are to be customized on a per-queue basis when putting a message to a distribution list. One or more of the following flags can be specified: MQC.MQPMRF_MSG_ID Use the messageId attribute in the MQDistributionListItem. MQC.MQPMRF_CORREL_ID Use the correlationId attribute in the MQDistributionListItem. MQC.MQPMRF_GROUP_ID Use the groupId attribute in the MQDistributionListItem. MQC.MQPMRF_FEEDBACK Use the feedback attribute in the MQDistributionListItem. MQC.MQPMRF_ACCOUNTING_TOKEN Use the accountingToken attribute in the MQDistributionListItem. The special value MQC.MQPMRF_NONE indicates that no fields are to be customized. resolvedQueueName public String resolvedQueueName This is an output field that is set by the queue manager to the name of the queue on which the message is placed. This may be different from the name used to open the queue if the opened queue was an alias or model queue. resolvedQueueManagerName public String resolvedQueueManagerName This is an output field set by the queue manager to the name of the queue manager that owns the queue specified by the remote queue name. This may be different from the name of the queue manager from which the queue was accessed if the queue is a remote queue.

MQQueue

MQQueue
java.lang.Object com.ibm.mq.MQManagedObject com.ibm.mq.MQQueue

public class MQQueue extends MQManagedObject. (See page 99.) MQQueue provides inquire, set, put, and get operations for MQSeries queues. The inquire and set capabilities are inherited from MQ.MQManagedObject. See also MQQueueManager.accessQueue on page 145.

Constructors
MQQueue
public MQQueue(MQQueueManager qMgr, String queueName, int openOptions, String queueManagerName, String dynamicQueueName, String alternateUserId ) throws MQException

Access a queue on the queue manager qMgr. See MQQueueManager.accessQueue on page 145 for details of the remaining parameters.

Methods
get
public synchronized void get(MQMessage message, MQGetMessageOptions getMessageOptions, int MaxMsgSize)

Throws MQException. Retrieves a message from the queue, up to a maximum specified message size. This method takes an MQMessage object as a parameter. It uses some of the fields in the object as input parameters - in particular the messageId and correlationId, so it is important to ensure that these are set as required. (See Message on page 262.) If the get fails, the MQMessage object is unchanged. If it succeeds the message descriptor (member variables) and message data portions of the MQMessage are completely replaced with the message descriptor and message data from the incoming message. Note that all calls to MQSeries from a given MQQueueManager are synchronous. Therefore, if you perform a get with wait, all other threads using the same MQQueueManager are blocked from making further MQSeries calls until the get completes. If you need multiple threads to access MQSeries simultaneously, each thread must create its own MQQueueManager object.

132

MQSeries Using Java

MQQueue
Parameters message An input/output parameter containing the message descriptor information and the returned message data. getMessageOptions Options controlling the action of the get. (See MQGetMessageOptions on page 95.) MaxMsgSize The largest message this call will be able to receive. If the message on the queue is larger than this size, one of two things can occur: 1. If the MQC.MQGMO_ACCEPT_TRUNCATED_MSG flag is set in the options member variable of the MQGetMessageOptions object, the message is filled with as much of the message data as will fit in the specified buffer size, and an exception is thrown with completion code MQException.MQCC_WARNING and reason code MQException.MQRC_TRUNCATED_MSG_ACCEPTED. 2. If the MQC.MQGMO_ACCEPT_TRUNCATED_MSG flag is not set, the message is left on the queue and an MQException is raised with completion code MQException.MQCC_WARNING and reason code MQException.MQRC_TRUNCATED_MSG_FAILED. Throws MQException if the get fails. get
public synchronized void get(MQMessage message, MQGetMessageOptions getMessageOptions)

Throws MQException. Retrieves a message from the queue, regardless of the size of the message. For large messages, the get method may have to issue two calls to MQSeries on your behalf, one to establish the required buffer size and one to get the message data itself. This method takes an MQMessage object as a parameter. It uses some of the fields in the object as input parameters - in particular the messageId and correlationId, so it is important to ensure that these are set as required. (See Message on page 262.) If the get fails, the MQMessage object is unchanged. If it succeeds, the message descriptor (member variables) and message data portions of the MQMessage are completely replaced with the message descriptor and message data from the incoming message. Note that all calls to MQSeries from a given MQQueueManager are synchronous. Therefore, if you perform a get with wait, all other threads using the same MQQueueManager are blocked from making further MQSeries calls until the get completes. If you need multiple threads to access MQSeries simultaneously, each thread must create its own MQQueueManager object.

Parameters message An input/output parameter containing the message descriptor information and the returned message data. getMessageOptions Options controlling the action of the get. (See MQGetMessageOptions on page 95 for details.) Throws MQException if the get fails. get
public synchronized void get(MQMessage message)

This is a simplified version of the get method previously described. Parameters MQMessage An input/output parameter containing the message descriptor information and the returned message data. This method uses a default instance of MQGetMessageOptions to do the get. The message option used is MQGMO_NOWAIT. put
public synchronized void put(MQMessage message, MQPutMessageOptions putMessageOptions)

Throws MQException. Places a message onto the queue. This method takes an MQMessage object as a parameter. The message descriptor properties of this object may be altered as a result of this method. The values they have immediately after the completion of this method are the values that were put onto the MQSeries queue. Modifications to the MQMessage object after the put has completed do not affect the actual message on the MQSeries queue. A put updates the messageId and correlationId. This must be considered when making further calls to put/get using the same MQMessage object. Also, calling put does not clear the message data, so:
msg.writeString("a"); q.put(msg,pmo); msg.writeString("b"); q.put(msg,pmo);

puts two messages. The first contains a and the second ab.

MQSimpleConnectionManager

MQSimpleConnectionManager
java.lang.Object com.ibm.mq.MQConnectionManager com.ibm.mq.MQSimpleConnectionManager

public class MQSimpleConnectionManager implements MQConnectionManager (See page 154.) An MQSimpleConnectionManager provides basic connection pooling functionality. You can use an MQSimpleConnectionManager either as the default Connection Manager, or as a parameter to an MQQueueManager constructor. When an MQQueueManager is constructed, the most-recently-used connection in the pool is used. Connections are destroyed (by a separate thread) when they are unused for a specified period, or when there are more than a specified number of unused connections in the pool. You can specify the timeout period and the maximum number of unused connections.

Variables
MODE_AUTO public static final int MODE_AUTO. See setActive. MODE_ACTIVE public static final int MODE_ACTIVE. See setActive. MODE_INACTIVE public static final int MODE_INACTIVE. See setActive.

Constructors
MQSimpleConnectionManager public MQSimpleConnectionManager() Constructs an MQSimpleConnectionManager.

Methods
setActive public void setActive(int mode) Sets the active mode of the connection pool. Parameters mode The required active mode of the connection pool. Valid values are: MODE_AUTO The connection pool is active while the Connection Manager is the default Connection Manager and there is at least one token in the set of MQPoolTokens held by MQEnvironment. This is the default mode. MODE_ACTIVE The connection pool is always active. When MQQueueManager.disconnect() is called, the underlying connection is pooled, and potentially reused the next time that an MQQueueManager object is constructed.

150

MQSeries Using Java

MQSimpleConnectionManager
Connections will be destroyed by a separate thread if they are unused for longer than the Timeout period, or if the size of the pool exceeds HighThreshold. MODE_INACTIVE The connection pool is always inactive. When this mode is entered, the pool of connections to MQSeries is cleared. When MQQueueManager.disconnect() is called, the connection that underlies any active MQQueueManager object is destroyed. getActive public int getActive() Gets the mode of the connection pool. Returns The current active mode of the connection pool, with one of the following values (see setActive on page 150): MODE_AUTO MODE_ACTIVE MODE_INACTIVE setTimeout public void setTimeout(long timeout) Sets the Timeout value, where connections that remain unused for this length of time are destroyed by a separate thread. Parameters timeout The value of the timeout in milliseconds. getTimeout public long getTimeout() Returns the Timeout value. setHighThreshold public void setHighThreshold(int threshold) Sets the HighThreshold. If the number of unused connections in the pool exceeds this value, the oldest unused connection in the pool is destroyed. Parameters threshold The maximum number of unused connections in the pool. getHighThreshold public int getHighThreshold () Returns the HighThreshold value.

MQC

MQC
public interface MQC extends Object The MQC interface defines all the constants used by the MQ Java programming interface (except for completion code constants and error code constants). To refer to one of these constants from within your programs, prefix the constant name with MQC.. For example, you can set the close options for a queue as follows:
MQQueue queue; ... queue.closeOptions = MQC.MQCO_DELETE; // delete the // queue when // it is closed ...

A full description of these constants is in the MQSeries Application Programming Reference. Completion code and error code constants are defined in the MQException class. See MQException on page 93.

MQPoolServicesEventListener

MQPoolServicesEventListener
public interface extends Object MQPoolServicesEventListener

Note: Normally, applications do not use this interface. MQPoolServicesEventListener is for implementation by providers of default ConnectionManagers. When an MQPoolServicesEventListener is registered with an MQPoolServices object, the event listener receives an event whenever an MQPoolToken is added to, or removed from, the set of MQPoolTokens that MQEnvironment manages. It also receives an event whenever the default ConnectionManager changes. See also MQPoolServices on page 123 and MQPoolServicesEvent on page 124.

Methods
tokenAdded
public void tokenAdded(MQPoolServicesEvent event)

Called when an MQPoolToken is added to the set. tokenRemoved

public void tokenRemoved(MQPoolServicesEvent event)

Called when an MQPoolToken is removed from the set. defaultConnectionManagerChanged

public void defaultConnectionManagerChanged(MQPoolServicesEvent event)

Called when the default ConnectionManager is set. The set of MQPoolTokens will have been cleared.

Chapter 9. The MQ base Java classes and interfaces

MQConnectionManager

MQConnectionManager
This is a private interface that cannot be implemented by applications. MQSeries classes for Java supplies an implementation of this interface (MQSimpleConnectionManager), which you can specify on the MQQueueManager constructor, or through MQEnvironment.setDefaultConnectionManager. See MQSimpleConnectionManager on page 150. Applications or middleware that wish to provide their own ConnectionManager should implement javax.resource.spi.ConnectionManager. This requires Java 2 v1.3 with JAAS 1.0 installed.

MQSeries Using Java

MQReceiveExit

MQReceiveExit
public interface MQReceiveExit extends Object The receive exit interface allows you to examine and possibly alter the data received from the queue manager by the MQSeries classes for Java. Note: This interface does not apply when connecting directly to MQSeries in bindings mode. To provide your own receive exit, define a class that implements this interface. Create a new instance of your class and assign the MQEnvironment.receiveExit variable to it before constructing your MQQueueManager object. For example:
// in MyReceiveExit.java class MyReceiveExit implements MQReceiveExit { // you must provide an implementation // of the receiveExit method public byte[] receiveExit( MQChannelExit channelExitParms, MQChannelDefinition channelDefinition, byte[] agentBuffer) { // your exit code goes here... } } // in your main program... MQEnvironment.receiveExit = new MyReceiveExit(); ... // other initialization MQQueueManager qMgr = new MQQueueManager("");

Methods
receiveExit
public abstract byte[] receiveExit(MQChannelExit channelExitParms, MQChannelDefinition channelDefinition, byte agentBuffer[])

The receive exit method that your class must provide. This method will be invoked whenever the MQSeries classes for Java receives some data from the queue manager. Parameters channelExitParms Contains information regarding the context in which the exit is being invoked. The exitResponse member variable is an output parameter that you use to tell the MQSeries classes for Java what action to take next. See MQChannelExit on page 82 for further details. channelDefinition Contains details of the channel through which all communications with the queue manager take place. agentBuffer If the channelExitParms.exitReason is MQChannelExit.MQXR_XMIT, agentBuffer contains the data received from the queue manager; otherwise agentBuffer is null.

155

MQReceiveExit
Returns If the exit response code (in channelExitParms) is set so that the MQSeries classes for Java can now process the data (MQXCC_OK), your receive exit method must return the data to be processed. The simplest receive exit, therefore, consists of the single line return agentBuffer;. See also: v MQC on page 152 v MQChannelDefinition on page 80

Methods
securityExit
public abstract byte[] securityExit(MQChannelExit channelExitParms, MQChannelDefinition channelDefinition, byte agentBuffer[])

The security exit method that your class must provide. Parameters channelExitParms Contains information regarding the context in which the exit is being invoked. The exitResponse member variable is an output parameter that you use to tell the MQSeries Client for Java what action to take next. See the MQChannelExit on page 82 for further details. channelDefinition Contains details of the channel through which all communications with the queue manager take place. agentBuffer If the channelExitParms.exitReason is MQChannelExit.MQXR_SEC_MSG, agentBuffer contains the security message received from the queue manager; otherwise agentBuffer is null.

public interface MQSendExit extends Object The send exit interface allows you to examine and possibly alter the data sent to the queue manager by the MQSeries Client for Java. Note: This interface does not apply when connecting directly to MQSeries in bindings mode. To provide your own send exit, define a class that implements this interface. Create a new instance of your class and assign the MQEnvironment.sendExit variable to it before constructing your MQQueueManager object. For example:
// in MySendExit.java class MySendExit implements MQSendExit { // you must provide an implementation of the sendExit method public byte[] sendExit( MQChannelExit channelExitParms, MQChannelDefinition channelDefinition, byte[] agentBuffer) { // your exit code goes here... } } // in your main program...

MQSeries Using Java

ManagedConnection

ManagedConnection
public interface javax.resource.spi.ManagedConnection Note: Normally, applications do not use this class; it is intended for use by implementations of ConnectionManager. MQSeries classes for Java provides an implementation of ManagedConnection that is returned from ManagedConnectionFactory.createManagedConnection. This object represents a connection to an MQSeries Queue Manager.

Methods
getConnection
public Object getConnection(javax.security.auth.Subject subject, ConnectionRequestInfo cxRequestInfo)

Throws ResourceException. Creates a new connection handle for the physical connection represented by the ManagedConnection object. For MQSeries classes for Java, this returns an MQQueueManager object. The ConnectionManager normally returns this object from allocateConnection. The subject parameter is ignored. If the cxRequestInfo parameter is not suitable, a ResourceException is thrown. Multiple connection handles can be used simultaneously for each single ManagedConnection. destroy
public void destroy()

Throws ResourceException. Destroys the physical connection to the MQSeries Queue Manager. Any pending local transaction is committed. For more details, see getLocalTransaction on page 162. cleanup
public void cleanup()

Throws ResourceException. Closes all open connection handles, and resets the physical connection to an initial state ready to be pooled. Any pending local transaction is rolled back. For more details, see getLocalTransaction on page 162. associateConnection
public void associateConnection(Object connection)

Throws ResourceException. MQSeries classes for Java does not currently support this method. A javax.resource.NotSupportedException is thrown.

Chapter 9. The MQ base Java classes and interfaces

161

ManagedConnection
addConnectionEventListener
public void addConnectionEventListener(ConnectionEventListener listener)

Adds a ConnectionEventListener to the ManagedConnection instance. The listener is notified if a severe error occurs on the ManagedConnection, or when MQQueueManager.disconnect() is called on a connection handle that is associated with this ManagedConnection. The listener is not notified about local transaction events (see getLocalTransaction). removeConnectionEventListener
public void removeConnectionEventListener(ConnectionEventListener listener)

Removes a registered ConnectionEventListener. getXAResource

public javax.transaction.xa.XAResource getXAResource()

Throws ResourceException. MQSeries classes for Java does not currently support this method. A javax.resource.NotSupportedException is thrown. getLocalTransaction
public LocalTransaction getLocalTransaction()

Throws ResourceException. MQSeries classes for Java does not currently support this method. A javax.resource.NotSupportedException is thrown. Currently, a ConnectionManager cannot manage the MQSeries local transaction, and registered ConnectionEventListeners are not informed about events relating to the local transaction. When cleanup() occurs, any ongoing unit of work is rolled back. When destroy() occurs, any ongoing unit of work is committed. Existing API behavior is that an ongoing unit of work is committed at MQQueueManager.disconnect(). This existing behavior is preserved only when an MQConnectionManager (rather than a ConnectionManager) manages the connection. getMetaData
public ManagedConnectionMetaData getMetaData()

Throws ResourceException. Gets the meta data information for the underlying Queue Manager. See ManagedConnectionMetaData on page 166.

162

MQSeries Using Java

ManagedConnection

MQSeries Using Java

Chapter 10. Writing MQ JMS programs

This chapter provides information to assist with writing MQ JMS applications. It provides a brief introduction to the JMS model, and detailed information on programming some common tasks that application programs are likely to need to perform.

The JMS model

JMS defines a generic view of a message passing service. It is important to understand this view, and how it maps onto the underlying MQSeries transport. The generic JMS model is based around the following interfaces that are defined in Suns javax.jms package: Connection Provides access to the underlying transport, and is used to create Sessions. Session Provides a context for producing and consuming messages, including the methods used to create MessageProducers and MessageConsumers. MessageProducer Used to send messages. MessageConsumer Used to receive messages. Note that a Connection is thread safe, but Sessions, MessageProducers, and MessageConsumers are not. The recommended strategy is to use one Session per application thread. In MQSeries terms: Connection Provides a scope for temporary queues. Also, it provides a place to hold the parameters that control how to connect to MQSeries. Examples of these parameters are the name of the queue manager, and the name of the remote host if you use the MQSeries Java client connectivity. Session Contains an HCONN and therefore defines a transactional scope.

MessageProducer and MessageConsumer Contain an HOBJ that defines a particular queue for writing to, or reading from. Note that normal MQSeries rules apply: v Only a single operation can be in progress per HCONN at any given time. Therefore, the MessageProducers or MessageConsumers associated with a Session cannot be called concurrently. This is consistent with the JMS restriction of a single thread per Session. v PUTs can use remote queues, but GETs can only be applied to queues on the local queue manager.

JMS model
The generic JMS interfaces are subclassed into more specific versions for Point-to-Point and Publish/Subscribe behavior. The point-to-point versions are: v QueueConnection v QueueSession v QueueSender v QueueReceiver A key idea in JMS is that it is possible, and strongly recommended, to write application programs that use only references to the interfaces in javax.jms. All vendor-specific information is encapsulated in implementations of: v QueueConnectionFactory v TopicConnectionFactory v Queue v Topic These are known as administered objects, that is, objects that can be built using a vendor-supplied administration tool and can be stored in a JNDI namespace. A JMS application can retrieve these objects from the namespace and use them without needing to know which vendor provided the implementation.

Building a connection
Connections are not created directly, but are built using a connection factory. Factory objects can be stored in a JNDI namespace, thus insulating the JMS application from provider-specific information. Details of how to create and store factory objects are in Chapter 5. Using the MQ JMS administration tool on page 31. If you do not have a JNDI namespace available, see Creating factories at runtime on page 171.

Retrieving the factory from JNDI

To retrieve an object from a JNDI namespace, an initial context must be set up, as shown in this fragment taken from the IVTRun sample file:
import javax.jms.*; import javax.naming.*; import javax.naming.directory.*; . . . java.util.Hashtable environment = new java.util.Hashtable(); environment.put(Context.INITIAL_CONTEXT_FACTORY, icf); environment.put(Context.PROVIDER_URL, url); Context ctx = new InitialDirContext( environment );

where: icf url defines a factory class for the initial context defines a context specific URL

For more details about JNDI usage, see Suns JNDI documentation.

MQSeries Using Java

Building a connection
Note: Some combinations of the JNDI packages and LDAP service providers can result in an LDAP error 84. To resolve the problem, insert the following line before the call to InitialDirContext.
environment.put(Context.REFERRAL, "throw");

Once an initial context is obtained, objects are retrieved from the namespace by using the lookup() method. The following code retrieves a QueueConnectionFactory named ivtQCF from an LDAP-based namespace:
QueueConnectionFactory factory; factory = (QueueConnectionFactory)ctx.lookup("cn=ivtQCF");

Using the factory to create a connection

The createQueueConnection() method on the factory object is used to create a Connection, as shown in the following code:
QueueConnection connection; connection = factory.createQueueConnection();

Creating factories at runtime

If a JNDI namespace is not available, it is possible to create factory objects at runtime. However, using this method reduces the portability of the JMS application because it requires references to MQSeries specific classes. The following code creates a QueueConnectionFactory with all default settings:
factory = new com.ibm.mq.jms.MQQueueConnectionFactory();

(You can omit the com.ibm.mq.jms. prefix if you import the com.ibm.mq.jms package instead.) A connection created from the above factory uses the Java bindings to connect to the default queue manager on the local machine. The set methods shown in Table 14 can be used to customize the factory with MQSeries specific information.

Starting the connection

The JMS specification defines that connections should be created in the stopped state. Until the connection starts, MessageConsumers that are associated with the connection cannot receive any messages. To start the connection, issue the following command:
connection.start(); Table 14. Set methods on MQQueueConnectionFactory Method setCCSID(int) setChannel(String) setHostName(String) setPort(int) setQueueManager(String) setTemporaryModel(String) Description Used to set the MQEnvironment.CCSID property The name of the channel for a client connection The name of the host for a client connection The port for a client connection The name of the queue manager The name of a model queue used to generate a temporary destination as a result of a call to QueueSession.createTemporaryQueue(). We recommend that this is the name of a temporary dynamic queue, rather than a permanent dynamic queue.

Building a connection
Table 14. Set methods on MQQueueConnectionFactory (continued) Method setTransportType(int) Description Specify how to connect to MQSeries. The options currently available are: v JMSC.MQJMS_TP_BINDINGS_MQ (the default) v JMSC.MQJMS_TP_CLIENT_MQ_TCPIP. JMSC is in the package com.ibm.mq.jms setReceiveExit(String) setSecurityExit(String) setSendExit(String) setReceiveExitInit(String) setSecutityExitInit(String) setSendExitInit(String) These methods exist to allow the use of the send, receive and security exits provided by the underlying MQSeries Classes for Java. The set*Exit methods take the name of a class that implements the relevant exit methods. (See the MQSeries 5.1 product documentation for details.) Also, the class must implement a constructor with a single String parameter. This string provides any initialization data that may be required by the exit, and is set to the value provided in the corresponding set*ExitInit method.

Choosing client or bindings transport

MQ JMS can communicate with MQSeries using either the client or bindings transports2. If you use the Java bindings, the JMS application and the MQSeries queue manager must be located on the same machine. If you use the client, the queue manager can be on a different machine to the application. The contents of the connection factory object determine which transport to use. Chapter 5. Using the MQ JMS administration tool on page 31 describes how to define a factory object for use with client or bindings transport. The following code fragment illustrates how you can define the transport within an application:
String HOSTNAME = "machine1"; String QMGRNAME = "machine1.QM1"; String CHANNEL = "SYSTEM.DEF.SVRCONN"; factory = new MQQueueConnectionFactory(); factory.setTransportType(JMSC.MQJMS_TP_CLIENT_MQ_TCPIP); factory.setQueueManager(QMGRNAME); factory.setHostName(HOSTNAME); factory.setChannel(CHANNEL);

Obtaining a session
Once a connection is made, use the createQueueSession method on the QueueConnection to obtain a session. The method takes two parameters: 1. A boolean that determines whether the session is transacted or non-transacted. 2. A parameter that determines the acknowledge mode.

2. However, client transport is not supported on the z/OS & OS/390 platform.

172

MQSeries Using Java

Obtaining a session
The simplest case is that of the non-transacted session with AUTO_ACKNOWLEDGE, as shown in the following code fragment:
QueueSession session; boolean transacted = false; session = connection.createQueueSession(transacted, Session.AUTO_ACKNOWLEDGE);

Note: A connection is thread safe, but sessions (and objects that are created from them) are not. The recommended practice for multi-threaded applications is to use a separate session for each thread.

Sending a message
Messages are sent using a MessageProducer. For point-to-point this is a QueueSender that is created using the createSender method on QueueSession. A QueueSender is normally created for a specific queue, so that all messages sent using that sender are sent to the same destination. The destination is specified using a Queue object. Queue objects can be either created at runtime, or built and stored in a JNDI namespace. Queue objects are retrieved from JNDI in the following way:
Queue ioQueue; ioQueue = (Queue)ctx.lookup( qLookup );

MQ JMS provides an implementation of Queue in com.ibm.mq.jms.MQQueue. It contains properties that control the details of MQSeries specific behavior, but in many cases it is possible to use the default values. JMS defines a standard way to specify the destination that minimizes the MQSeries specific code in the application. This mechanism uses the QueueSession.createQueue method, which takes a string parameter describing the destination. The string itself is still in a vendor-specific format, but this is a more flexible approach than directly referencing the vendor classes. MQ JMS accepts two forms for the string parameter of createQueue(). v The first is the name of the MQSeries queue, as illustrated in the following fragment taken from the IVTRun program in the samples directory:
public static final String QUEUE = "SYSTEM.DEFAULT.LOCAL.QUEUE" ; . . . ioQueue = session.createQueue( QUEUE );

v The second, and more powerful, form is based on uniform resource identifiers (URI). This form allows you to specify remote queues (queues on a queue manager other than the one to which you are connected). It also allows you to set the other properties contained in a com.ibm.mq.jms.MQQueue object. The URI for a queue begins with the sequence queue://, followed by the name of the queue manager on which the queue resides. This is followed by a further /, the name of the queue, and optionally, a list of name-value pairs that set the remaining Queue properties. For example, the URI equivalent of the previous example is:
ioQueue = session.createQueue("queue:///SYSTEM.DEFAULT.LOCAL.QUEUE");

Note that the name of the queue manager is omitted. This is interpreted as the queue manager to which the owning QueueConnection is connected at the time when the Queue object is used.
Chapter 10. Writing MQ JMS programs

173

Sending a message
The following example connects to queue Q1 on queue manager HOST1.QM1, and causes all messages to be sent as non-persistent and priority 5:
ioQueue = session.createQueue("queue://HOST1.QM1/Q1?persistence=1&priority=5");

Table 15 lists the names that can be used in the name-value part of the URI. A disadvantage of this format is that it does not support symbolic names for the values, so where appropriate, the table also indicates special values. Note that these special values may be subject to change. (See Setting properties with the set method for an alternative method to set properties.)

QDEF APP

- a special value that means the property should be determined by the configuration of the MQSeries queue. - a special value that means the JMS application can control this property.

Once the Queue object is obtained (either using createQueue as above or from JNDI), it must be passed into the createSender method to create a QueueSender:
QueueSender queueSender = session.createSender(ioQueue);

The resulting queueSender object is used to send messages by using the send method:
queueSender.send(outMessage);

Setting properties with the set method

You can set Queue properties by first creating an instance of com.ibm.mq.jms.MQQueue using the default constructor. Then you can fill in the required values by using public set methods. This method means that you can use symbolic names for the property values. However, because these values are vendor-specific, and are embedded in the code, the applications become less portable. The following code fragment shows the setting of a queue property with a set method.
com.ibm.mq.jms.MQQueue q1 = new com.ibm.mq.jms.MQQueue(); q1.setBaseQueueManagerName("HOST1.QM1"); q1.setBaseQueueName("Q1"); q1.setPersistence(DeliveryMode.NON_PERSISTENT); q1.setPriority(5);

targetClient encoding

See The ENCODING property on page 42 for a discussion on encoding.

Message types
JMS provides several message types, each of which embodies some knowledge of its content. To avoid referencing the vendor-specific class names for the message types, methods are provided on the Session object for message creation. In the sample program, a text message is created in the following manner:
System.out.println( "Creating a TextMessage" ); TextMessage outMessage = session.createTextMessage(); System.out.println("Adding Text"); outMessage.setText(outString);

The message types that can be used are: v BytesMessage v MapMessage v ObjectMessage v StreamMessage v TextMessage Details of these types are in Chapter 14. JMS interfaces and classes on page 227.

Receiving a message
Messages are received by using a QueueReceiver. This is created from a Session by using the createReceiver() method. This method takes a Queue parameter that defines where the messages are received from. See Sending a message on page 173 for details of how to create a Queue object.

Chapter 10. Writing MQ JMS programs

175

Receiving a message
The sample program creates a receiver and reads back the test message with the following code:
QueueReceiver queueReceiver = session.createReceiver(ioQueue); Message inMessage = queueReceiver.receive(1000);

The parameter in the receive call is a timeout in milliseconds. This parameter defines how long the method should wait if there is no message available immediately. You can omit this parameter, in which case, the call blocks indefinitely. If you do not want any delay, use the receiveNoWait() method. The receive methods return a message of the appropriate type. For example, if a TextMessage is put on a queue, when the message is received, the object that is returned is an instance of TextMessage. To extract the content from the body of the message, it is necessary to cast from the generic Message class (which is the declared return type of the receive methods) to the more specific subclass, such as TextMessage. If the received message type is not known, you can use the instanceof operator to determine which type it is. It is good practice always to test the message class before casting, so that unexpected errors can be handled gracefully. The following code illustrates the use of instanceof, and extraction of the content from a TextMessage:
if (inMessage instanceof TextMessage) { String replyString = ((TextMessage) inMessage).getText(); . . . } else { // Print error message if Message was not a TextMessage. System.out.println("Reply message was not a TextMessage"); }

Message selectors
JMS provides a mechanism to select a subset of the messages on a queue so that this subset is returned by a receive call. When creating a QueueReceiver, a string can be provided that contains an SQL (Structured Query Language) expression to determine which messages to retrieve. The selector can refer to fields in the JMS message header as well as fields in the message properties (these are effectively application-defined header fields). Details of the header field names, as well as the syntax for the SQL selector, are in Chapter 12. JMS messages on page 191. The following example shows how to select for a user-defined property named myProp:
queueReceiver = session.createReceiver(ioQueue, "myProp = 'blue'");

Note: The JMS specification does not permit the selector associated with a receiver to be changed. Once a receiver is created, the selector is fixed for the lifetime of that receiver. This means that if you require different selectors, you must create new receivers.

176

MQSeries Using Java

Receiving a message

Asynchronous delivery
An alternative to making calls to QueueReceiver.receive() is to register a method that is called automatically when a suitable message is available. The following fragment illustrates the mechanism:
import javax.jms.*; public class MyClass implements MessageListener { // The method that will be called by JMS when a message // is available. public void onMessage(Message message) { System.out.println("message is "+message); // application specific processing here . . .

. . . // In Main program (possibly of some other class) MyClass listener = new MyClass(); queueReceiver.setMessageListener(listener); // main program can now continue with other application specific // behavior.

Note: Use of asynchronous delivery with a QueueReceiver marks the entire Session as asynchronous. It is an error to make an explicit call to the receive methods of a QueueReceiver that is associated with a Session that is using asynchronous delivery.

Closing down
Garbage collection alone cannot release all MQSeries resources in a timely manner. This is especially true if the application needs to create many short-lived JMS objects at the Session level or lower. It is therefore important to call the close() methods of the various classes (QueueConnection, QueueSession, QueueSender, and QueueReceiver) when the resources are no longer required.

Java Virtual Machine hangs at shutdown

If an MQ JMS application finishes without calling Connection.close(), some JVMs will appear to hang. If this problem occurs, either edit the application to include a call to Connection.close(), or terminate the JVM by using the Ctrl-C keys.

Handling errors
Any runtime errors in a JMS application are reported by exceptions. The majority of methods in JMS throw JMSExceptions to indicate errors. It is good programming practice to catch these exceptions and display them on a suitable output. Unlike normal Java Exceptions, a JMSException may contain a further exception embedded in it. For JMS, this can be a valuable way to pass important detail from

Chapter 10. Writing MQ JMS programs

177

Handling errors
the underlying transport. In the case of MQ JMS, when MQSeries raises an MQException, this exception is usually included as the embedded exception in a JMSException. The implementation of JMSException does not include the embedded exception in the output of its toString() method. Therefore, it is necessary to check explicitly for an embedded exception and print it out, as shown in the following fragment:
try { . . code which may throw a JMSException . } catch (JMSException je) { System.err.println("caught "+je); Exception e = je.getLinkedException(); if (e != null) { System.err.println("linked exception: "+e); } }

Exception listener
For asynchronous message delivery, the application code cannot catch exceptions raised by failures to receive messages. This is because the application code does not make explicit calls to receive() methods. To cope with this situation, it is possible to register an ExceptionListener, which is an instance of a class that implements the onException() method. When a serious error occurs, this method is called with the JMSException passed as its only parameter. Further details are in Suns JMS documentation.

MQSeries Using Java

Chapter 11. Programming Publish/Subscribe applications

This section introduces the programming model that is used to write Publish/Subscribe applications that use the MQSeries Classes for Java Message Service.

Writing a simple Publish/Subscribe application

This section provides a walkthrough of a simple MQ JMS application.

Import required packages

An MQSeries classes for Java Message Service application starts with a number of import statements which should include at least the following:
import javax.jms.*; import javax.naming.*; import javax.naming.directory.*; // JMS interfaces // Used for JNDI lookup of // administered objects

Obtain or create JMS objects

The next step is to obtain or create a number of JMS objects: 1. Obtain a TopicConnectionFactory 2. Create a TopicConnection 3. Create a TopicSession 4. Obtain a Topic from JNDI 5. Create TopicPublishers and TopicSubscribers Many of these processes are similar to those that are used for point-to-point, as shown in the following: Obtain a TopicConnectionFactory The preferred way to do this is to use JNDI lookup, so that portability of the application code is maintained. The following code initializes a JNDI context:
String CTX_FACTORY = "com.sun.jndi.ldap.LdapCtxFactory"; String INIT_URL = "ldap://server.company.com/o=company_us,c=us"; Java.util.Hashtable env = new java.util.Hashtable(); env.put( Context.INITIAL_CONTEXT_FACTORY, CTX_FACTORY ); env.put( Context.PROVIDER_URL, INIT_URL ); env.put( Context.REFERRAL, "throw" ); Context ctx = null; try { ctx = new InitialDirContext( env ); } catch( NamingException nx ) { // Add code to handle inability to connect to JNDI context }

Note: The CTX_FACTORY and INIT_URL variables need customizing to suit your installation and your JNDI service provider.

Copyright IBM Corp. 1997, 2001

179

Writing Publish/Subscribe applications

The properties required by JNDI initialization are in a hashtable, which is passed to the InitialDirContext constructor. If this connection fails, an exception is thrown to indicate that the administered objects required later in the application are not available. Now obtain a TopicConnectionFactory by using a lookup key that the administrator has defined:
TopicConnectionFactory factory; factory = (TopicConnectionFactory)lookup("cn=sample.tcf");

If a JNDI namespace is not available, you can create a TopicConnectionFactory at runtime. You create a new com.ibm.mq.jms.MQTopicConnectionFactory in a similar way to the method described for a QueueConnectionFactory in Creating factories at runtime on page 171. Create a TopicConnection This is created from the TopicConnectionFactory object. Connections are always initialized in a stop state and must be started with the following code:
TopicConnection conn; conn = factory.createTopicConnection(); conn.start();

Create a TopicSession This is created by using the TopicConnection. This method takes two parameters; one to signify whether the session is transacted, and one to specify the acknowledgement mode:
TopicSession session = conn.createTopicSession( false, Session.AUTO_ACKNOWLEDGE );

Obtain a Topic This object can be obtained from JNDI, for use with TopicPublishers and TopicSubscribers that are created later. The following code retrieves a Topic:
Topic topic = null; try { topic = (Topic)ctx.lookup( "cn=sample.topic" ); } catch( NamingException nx ) { // Add code to handle inability to retrieve Topic from JNDI }

If a JNDI namespace is not available, you can create a Topic at runtime, as described in Creating topics at runtime on page 182. Create consumers and producers of publications Depending on the nature of the JMS client application that you write, a subscriber, a publisher, or both must be created. Use the createPublisher and createSubscriber methods as follows:
// Create a publisher, publishing on the given topic TopicPublisher pub = session.createPublisher( topic ); // Create a subscriber, subscribing on the given topic TopicSubscriber sub = session.createSubscriber( topic );

180

MQSeries Using Java

Writing Publish/Subscribe applications

Publish messages
The TopicPublisher object, pub, is used to publish messages, rather like a QueueSender is used in the point-to-point domain. The following fragment creates a TextMessage by using the session, and then publishes the message:
// Create the TextMessage and place some data into it TextMessage outMsg = session.createTextMessage(); outMsg.setText( "This is a short test string!" ); // Use the publisher to publish the message pub.publish( outMsg );

Receive subscriptions
Subscribers must be able to read the subscriptions that are delivered to them, as in the following code:
// Retrieve the next waiting subscription TextMessage inMsg = (TextMessage)sub.receive(); // Obtain the contents of the message String payload = inMsg.getText();

This fragment of code performs a get-with-wait, which means that the receive call will block until a message is available. Alternative versions of the receive call are available (such as receiveNoWait). For details, see TopicSubscriber on page 333.

Close down unwanted resources

It is important to free up all the resources used by the Publish/Subscribe application when it terminates. Use the close() method on objects that can be closed (publishers, subscribers, sessions, and connections):
// Close publishers and subscribers pub.close(); sub.close(); // Close sessions and connections session.close(); conn.close();

Using topics
This section discusses the use of JMS Topic objects in MQSeries classes for Java Message Service applications.

Topic names
This section describes the use of topic names within MQSeries classes for Java Message Service. Note: The JMS specification does not specify exact details about the use and maintenance of topic hierarchies. Therefore, this area may well vary from one provider to the next. Topic names in MQ JMS are arranged in a tree-like hierarchy, an example of which is shown in Figure 3 on page 182.

Chapter 11. Programming Publish/Subscribe applications

181

Figure 3. MQSeries classes for Java Message Service topic name hierarchy

In a topic name, levels in the tree are separated by the / character. This means that the Signings node in Figure 3 is identified by the topic name:
Sport/Football/Spurs/Signings

A powerful feature of the topic system in MQSeries classes for Java Message Service is the use of wildcards. These allow subscribers to subscribe to more than one topic at a time. The * wildcard matches zero or more characters, while the ? wildcard matches a single character. If a subscriber subscribes to the Topic represented by the following topic name:
Sport/Football/*/Results

it receives publications on topics including: v Sport/Football/Spurs/Results v Sport/Football/Arsenal/Results If the subscription topic is:
Sport/Football/Spurs/*

it receives publications on topics including: v Sport/Football/Spurs/Results v Sport/Football/Spurs/Signings There is no need to administer the topic hierarchies that you use on the broker-side of your system explicitly. When the first publisher or subscriber on a given topic comes into existence, the broker automatically creates the state of the topics currently being published on, and subscribed to. Note: A publisher cannot publish on a topic whose name contains wildcards.

Creating topics at runtime

There are four ways to create Topic objects at runtime: 1. Construct a topic by using the one-argument MQTopic constructor 2. Construct a topic by using the default MQTopic constructor, and then call the setBaseTopicName(..) method 3. Use the sessions createTopic(..) method

182

MQSeries Using Java

Using topics
4. Use the sessions createTemporaryTopic() method Method 1: Using MQTopic(..) This method requires a reference to the MQSeries implementation of the JMS Topic interface, and therefore renders the code non-portable. The constructor takes one argument, which should be a uniform resource identifier (URI). For MQSeries classes for Java Message Service Topics, this should be of the form:
topic://TopicName[?property=value[&property=value]*]

For further details on URIs and the permitted name-value pairs, see Sending a message on page 173. The following code creates a topic for non-persistent, priority 5 messages:
// Create a Topic using the one-argument MQTopic constructor String tSpec = "Sport/Football/Spurs/Results?persistence=1&priority=5"; Topic rtTopic = new MQTopic( "topic://" + tSpec );

Method 2: Using MQTopic(), then setBaseTopicName(..) This method uses the default MQTopic constructor, and therefore renders the code non-portable. After the object is created, set the baseTopicName property by using the setBaseTopicName method, passing in the required topic name. Note: The topic name used here is the non-URI form, and cannot include name-value pairs. Set these by using the set methods, as described in Setting properties with the set method on page 174. The following code uses this method to create a topic:
// Create a Topic using the default MQTopic constructor Topic rtTopic = new MQTopic(); // Set the object properties using the setter methods ((MQTopic)rtTopic).setBaseTopicName( "Sport/Football/Spurs/Results" ); ((MQTopic)rtTopic).setPersistence(1); ((MQTopic)rtTopic).setPriority(5);

Method 3: Using session.createTopic(..) A Topic object may also be created by using the createTopic method of TopicSession, which takes a topic URI as follows:
// Create a Topic using the session factory method Topic rtTopic = session.createTopic( "topic://Sport/Football/Spurs/Results" );

Method 4: Using session.createTemporaryTopic() A TemporaryTopic is a Topic that may be consumed only by subscribers that are created by the same TopicConnection. A TemporaryTopic is created as follows:
// Create a TemporaryTopic using the session factory method Topic rtTopic = session.createTemporaryTopic();

Subscriber options
There are a number of different ways to use JMS subscribers. This section describes some examples of their use. JMS provides two types of subscribers:

Chapter 11. Programming Publish/Subscribe applications

183

Subscriber options
Non-durable subscribers These subscribers receive messages on their chosen topic, only if the messages are published while the subscriber is active. Durable subscribers These subscribers receive all the messages published on a topic, including those that are published while the subscriber is inactive.

Creating non-durable subscribers

The subscriber created in Create consumers and producers of publications on page 180 is non-durable and is created with the following code:
// Create a subscriber, subscribing on the given topic TopicSubscriber sub = session.createSubscriber( topic );

Creating durable subscribers

Creating a durable subscriber is very similar to creating a non-durable subscriber, but you must also provide a name that uniquely identifies the subscriber:
// Create a durable subscriber, supplying a uniquely-identifying name TopicSubscriber sub = session.createDurableSubscriber( topic, "D_SUB_000001" );

Non-durable subscribers automatically deregister themselves when their close() method is called (or when they fall out of scope). However, if you wish to terminate a durable subscription, you must explicitly notify the system. To do this, use the sessions unsubscribe() method and pass in the unique name that created the subscriber:
// Unsubscribe the durable subscriber created above session.unsubscribe( "D_SUB_000001" );

A durable subscriber is created at the queue manager specified in the MQTopicConnectionFactory queue manager parameter. If there is a subsequent attempt to create a durable subscriber with the same name at a different queue manager, a new and completely independent durable subscriber is returned.

Using message selectors

You can use message selectors to filter out messages that do not satisfy given criteria. For details about message selectors, see Message selectors on page 176. Message selectors are associated with a subscriber as follows:
// Associate a message selector with a non-durable subscriber String selector = "company = 'IBM'"; TopicSubscriber sub = session.createSubscriber( topic, selector, false );

Suppressing local publications

It is possible to create a subscriber that ignores publications that are published on the subscribers own connection. Set the third parameter of the createSubscriber call to true, as follows:
// Create a non-durable subscriber with the noLocal option set TopicSubscriber sub = session.createSubscriber( topic, null, true );

184

MQSeries Using Java

Subscriber options

Combining the subscriber options

You can combine the subscriber variations, so that you can create a durable subscriber that applies a selector and ignores local publications, if you wish to. The following code fragment shows the use of the combined options:
// Create a durable, noLocal subscriber with a selector applied String selector = "company = 'IBM'"; TopicSubscriber sub = session.createDurableSubscriber( topic, "D_SUB_000001", selector, true );

Configuring the base subscriber queue

With MQ JMS V5.2, there are two ways in which you can configure subscribers: v Multiple queue approach Each subscriber has an exclusive queue assigned to it, from which it retrieves all its messages. JMS creates a new queue for each subscriber. This is the only approach available with MQ JMS V1.1. v Shared queue approach A subscriber uses a shared queue, from which it, and other subscribers, retrieve their messages. This approach requires only one queue to serve multiple subscribers. This is the default approach used with MQ JMS V5.2. In MQ JMS V5.2, you can choose which approach to use, and configure which queues to use. In general, the shared queue approach gives a modest performance advantage. For systems with a high throughput, there are also large architectural and administrative advantages, because of the significant reduction in the number of queues required. In some situations, there are still good reasons for using the multiple queue approach: v The theoretical physical capacity for message storage is greater. An MQSeries queue cannot hold more than 640000 messages, and in the shared queue approach, this must be divided between all the subscribers that share the queue. This issue is more significant for durable subscribers, because the lifetime of a durable subscriber is usually much longer than that of a non-durable subscriber. Therefore, more messages might accumulate for a durable subscriber. v External administration of subscription queues is easier. For certain application types, administrators may wish to monitor the state and depth of particular subscriber queues. This task is much simpler when there is one to one mapping between a subscriber and a queue.

Default configuration
The default configuration uses the following shared subscription queues: v SYSTEM.JMS.ND.SUBSCRIPTION.QUEUE for non-durable subscriptions v SYSTEM.JMS.D.SUBSCRIPTION.QUEUE for durable subscriptions These are created for you when you run the MQJMS_PSQ.MQSC script. If required, you can specify alternative physical queues. You can also change the configuration to use the multiple queue approach.

You can set the non-durable subscriber queue name property in either of the following ways: v Use the MQ JMS administration tool (for JNDI retrieved objects) to set the BROKERSUBQ property v Use the setBrokerSubQueue() method in your program For non-durable subscriptions, the queue name you provide should start with the following characters: SYSTEM.JMS.ND. To select a shared queue approach, specify an explicit queue name, where the named queue is the one to use for the shared queue. The queue that you specify must already physically exist before you create the subscription. To select the multiple queue approach, specify a queue name that ends with the * character. Subsequently, each subscriber that is created with this queue name creates an appropriate dynamic queue, for exclusive use by that particular subscriber. MQ JMS uses its own internal model queue to create such queues. Therefore, with the multiple queue approach, all required queues are created dynamically. When you use the multiple queue approach, you cannot specify an explicit queue name. However, you can specify the queue prefix. This enables you to create different subscriber queue domains. For example, you could use: SYSTEM.JMS.ND.MYDOMAIN.* The characters that precede the * character are used as the prefix, so that all dynamic queues that are associated with this subscription will have queue names that start with SYSTEM.JMS.ND.MYDOMAIN.

Configuring durable subscribers

As discussed earlier, there may still be good reasons to use the multiple queue approach for durable subscriptions. Durable subscriptions are likely to have a longer life span, so it is possible that a large number of un-retrieved messages could accumulate on the queue. Therefore, the durable subscriber queue name property is set in the Topic object (that is, at a more manageable level than TopicConnectionFactory). This enables you to specify a number of different subscriber queue names, without needing to re-create multiple objects starting from the TopicConnectionFactory. You can set the durable subscriber queue name in either of the following ways: v Use the MQ JMS administration tool (for JNDI retrieved objects) to set the BROKERDURSUBQ property v Use the setBrokerDurSubQueue() method in your program:
// Set the MQTopic durable subscriber queue name using // the multi-queue approach sportsTopic.setBrokerDurSubQueue("SYSTEM.JMS.D.FOOTBALL.*");

Once the Topic object is initialized, it is passed into the TopicSession createDurableSubscriber() method to create the specified subscription:
// Create a durable subscriber using our earlier Topic TopicSubscriber sub = new session.createDurableSubscriber (sportsTopic, "D_SUB_SPORT_001");

Subscriber options
For durable subscriptions, the queue name you provide should start with the following characters: SYSTEM.JMS.D. To select a shared queue approach, specify an explicit queue name, where the named queue is the one to use for the shared queue. The queue that you specify must already physically exist before you create the subscription. To select the multiple queue approach, specify a queue name that ends with the * character. Subsequently, each subscriber that is created with this queue name creates an appropriate dynamic queue, for exclusive use by that particular subscriber. MQ JMS uses its own internal model queue to create such queues. Therefore, with the multiple queue approach, all required queues are created dynamically. When you use the multiple queue approach, you cannot specify an explicit queue name. However, you can specify the queue prefix. This enables you to create different subscriber queue domains. For example, you could use: SYSTEM.JMS.D.MYDOMAIN.* The characters that precede the * character are used as the prefix, so that all dynamic queues that are associated with this subscription will have queue names that start with SYSTEM.JMS.D.MYDOMAIN.

Re-creation and migration issues for durable subscribers

For a durable subscriber, do not try to reconfigure the subscriber queue name until the subscriber has been deleted. That is, perform an unsubscribe(), and then create the queue again from new (remember that any old subscriber messages are deleted). However, if you created a subscriber using MQ JMS V1.1, that subscriber will be recognized when you migrate to the current level. You do not need to delete the subscription. The subscription continues to operate using a multiple queue approach.

Solving Publish/Subscribe problems

This section describes some problems that can occur when you develop JMS client applications that use the publish/subscribe domain. Note that this section discusses problems that are specific to the publish/subscribe domain. Refer to Handling errors on page 177 and Solving problems on page 29 for more general troubleshooting guidance.

Incomplete Publish/Subscribe close down

It is important that JMS client applications surrender all external resources when they terminate. To do this, call the close() method on all objects that can be closed once they are no longer required. For the publish/subscribe domain, these objects are: v TopicConnection v TopicSession v TopicPublisher v TopicSubscriber The MQSeries classes for Java Message Service implementation eases this task through the use of a cascading close. With this process, a call to close on a
Chapter 11. Programming Publish/Subscribe applications

187

Publish/Subscribe problems
TopicConnection results in calls to close on each of the TopicSessions it created. This in turn results in calls to close on all TopicSubscribers and TopicPublishers the sessions created. Therefore, to ensure the proper release of external resources, it is important to call connection.close() for each of the connections that an application creates. There are some circumstances where this close procedure may not complete. These include: v Loss of an MQSeries client connection v Unexpected application termination In these circumstances, the close() is not called, and external resources remain open on the terminated applications behalf. The main consequences of this are: Broker state inconsistency The MQSeries Message Broker may well contain registration information for subscribers and publishers that no longer exist. This means that the broker may continue forwarding messages to subscribers that will never receive them. Subscriber messages and queues remain Part of the subscriber deregistration procedure is the removal of subscriber messages. If appropriate, the underlying MQSeries queue that was used to receive subscriptions is also removed. If normal closure has not occurred, these messages and queues remain. If there is broker state inconsistency, the queues continue to fill up with messages that will never be read.

Subscriber cleanup utility

To avoid the problems that are associated with non-graceful closure of subscriber objects, MQ JMS includes a subscriber cleanup utility. This utility runs on a queue manager when the first TopicConnection to use that physical queue manager initializes. If all the TopicConnections on a given queue manager become closed, when the next TopicConnection initializes for that queue manager, the utility runs again. The cleanup utility attempts to detect any earlier MQ JMS publish/subscribe problems that could have occurred from other applications. If it detects problems, it cleans up associated resources by: v de-registering against the MQSeries Message Broker v cleaning up any un-retrieved messages and queues associated with the subscription The cleanup utility runs transparently in the background and only persists for a short time. It should not affect other MQ JMS operations. If a large number of problems are detected against a given queue manager, there might be a small delay at initialization time while resources are cleaned up. Note: We still strongly recommend that whenever possible, you close all subscriber objects gracefully to avoid a build up of subscriber problems.

Handling broker reports

The MQ JMS implementation uses report messages from the broker to confirm registration and deregistration commands. These reports are normally consumed by the MQSeries classes for Java Message Service implementation, but under some

error conditions, they may remain on the queue. These messages are sent to the SYSTEM.JMS.REPORT.QUEUE queue on the local queue manager. A Java application, PSReportDump, is supplied with MQSeries classes for Java Message Service, which dumps the contents of this queue in plain text format. The information can then be analyzed, either by the user, or by IBM support staff. You can also use the application to clear the queue of messages after a problem is diagnosed or fixed. The compiled form of the tool is installed in the <MQ_JAVA_INSTALL_PATH>/bin directory. To invoke the tool, change to this directory, then use the following command:
java PSReportDump [-m queueManager] [-clear]

where: -m queueManager = specify the name of the queue manager to use -clear = clear the queue of messages after dumping its contents

Output is sent to the screen, or you can redirect it to a file.

Chapter 12. JMS messages

JMS Messages are composed of the following parts: Header All messages support the same set of header fields. Header fields contain values that are used by both clients and providers to identify and route messages. Each message contains a built-in facility to support application-defined property values. Properties provide an efficient mechanism to filter application-defined messages. JMS defines several types of message body which cover the majority of messaging styles currently in use. JMS defines five types of message body: Stream Map a stream of Java primitive values. It is filled and read sequentially. a set of name-value pairs, where names are Strings and values are Java primitive types. The entries can be accessed sequentially or randomly by name. The order of the entries is undefined. a message containing a java.util.String. a message that contains a Serializable java object a stream of uninterpreted bytes. This message type is for literally encoding a body to match an existing message format.

Properties

Body

Text Object Bytes

The JMSCorrelationID header field is used to link one message with another. It typically links a reply message with its requesting message. JMSCorrelationID can hold a provider-specific message ID, an application-specific String, or a provider-native byte[] value.

Message selectors
A Message contains a built-in facility to support application-defined property values. In effect, this provides a mechanism to add application-specific header fields to a message. Properties allow an application, via message selectors, to have a JMS provider select or filter messages on its behalf, using application-specific criteria. Application-defined properties must obey the following rules: v Property names must obey the rules for a message selector identifier. v Property values can be boolean, byte, short, int, long, float, double, and string. v The following name prefixes are reserved: JMSX, JMS_. Property values are set before sending a message. When a client receives a message, the message properties are read-only. If a client attempts to set properties at this point, a MessageNotWriteableException is thrown. If clearProperties is called, the properties can now be both read from, and written to. A property value may duplicate a value in a messages body, or it may not. JMS does not define a policy for what should or should not be made into a property.

Message selectors
However, application developers should note that JMS providers will probably handle data in a messages body more efficiently than data in a messages properties. For best performance, applications should only use message properties when they need to customize a messages header. The primary reason for doing this is to support customized message selection. A JMS message selector allows a client to specify the messages that it is interested in by using the message header. Only messages whose headers match the selector are delivered. Message selectors cannot reference message body values. A message selector matches a message when the selector evaluates to true when the messages header field and property values are substituted for their corresponding identifiers in the selector. A message selector is a String, whose syntax is based on a subset of the SQL92 conditional expression syntax. The order in which a message selector is evaluated is from left to right within a precedence level. You can use parentheses to change this order. Predefined selector literals and operator names are written here in upper case; however, they are not case-sensitive. A selector can contain: v Literals A string literal is enclosed in single quotes. A doubled single quote represents a single quote. Examples are literal and literals. Like Java string literals, these use the Unicode character encoding. An exact numeric literal is a numeric value without a decimal point, such as 57, -957, +62. Numbers in the range of Java long are supported. An approximate numeric literal is a numeric value in scientific notation, such as 7E3 or -57.9E2, or a numeric value with a decimal, such as 7., -95.7, or +6.2. Numbers in the range of Java double are supported. The boolean literals TRUE and FALSE. v Identifiers: An identifier is an unlimited length sequence of Java letters and Java digits, the first of which must be a Java letter. A letter is any character for which the method Character.isJavaLetter returns true. This includes _ and $. A letter or digit is any character for which the method Character.isJavaLetterOrDigit returns true. Identifiers cannot be the names NULL, TRUE, or FALSE. Identifiers cannot be NOT, AND, OR, BETWEEN, LIKE, IN, and IS. Identifiers are either header field references or property references. Identifiers are case-sensitive. Message header field references are restricted to: - JMSDeliveryMode JMSPriority JMSMessageID JMSTimestamp JMSCorrelationID

- JMSType

192

MQSeries Using Java

Message selectors
JMSMessageID, JMSTimestamp, JMSCorrelationID, and JMSType values may be null, and if so, are treated as a NULL value. Any name beginning with JMSX is a JMS-defined property name. Any name beginning with JMS_ is a provider-specific property name. Any name that does not begin with JMS is an application-specific property name. If there is a reference to a property that does not exist in a message, its value is NULL. If it does exist, its value is the corresponding property value. v White space is the same as it is defined for Java: space, horizontal tab, form feed, and line terminator. v Expressions: A selector is a conditional expression. A selector that evaluates to true does match, and a selector that evaluates to false or unknown does not match. Arithmetic expressions are composed of themselves, arithmetic operations, identifiers (whose value is treated as a numeric literal), and numeric literals. Conditional expressions are composed of themselves, comparison operations, and logical operations. Standard bracketing (), to set the order in which expressions are evaluated, is supported. Logical operators in precedence order: NOT, AND, OR. Comparison operators: =, >, >=, <, <=, <> (not equal). Only values of the same type can be compared. One exception is that it is valid to compare exact numeric values and approximate numeric values. (The type conversion required is defined by the rules of Java numeric promotion.) If there is an attempt to compare different types, the selector is always false. String and boolean comparison is restricted to = and <>. Two strings are equal if, and only if, they contain the same sequence of characters. Arithmetic operators in precedence order:

v v v

+, - unary. *, /, multiplication, and division. +, -, addition, and subtraction. Arithmetic operations on a NULL value are not supported. If they are attempted, the complete selector is always false. Arithmetic operations must use Java numeric promotion. v arithmetic-expr1 [NOT] BETWEEN arithmetic-expr2 and arithmetic-expr3 comparison operator: age BETWEEN 15 and 19 is equivalent to age >= 15 AND age <= 19. age NOT BETWEEN 15 and 19 is equivalent to age < 15 OR age > 19. If any of the exprs of a BETWEEN operation are NULL, the value of the operation is false. If any of the exprs of a NOT BETWEEN operation are NULL, the value of the operation is true. v identifier [NOT] IN (string-literal1, string-literal2,...) comparison operator where identifier has a String or NULL value. Country IN ( UK, US, France) is true for UK and false for Peru. It is equivalent to the expression (Country = UK) OR (Country = US) OR (Country = France). Country NOT IN ( UK, US, France) is false for UK and true for Peru. It is equivalent to the expression NOT ((Country = UK) OR (Country = US) OR (Country = France)).

Chapter 12. JMS messages

193

Message selectors
If the identifier of an IN or NOT IN operation is NULL, the value of the operation is unknown. v identifier [NOT] LIKE pattern-value [ESCAPE escape-character] comparison operator, where identifier has a String value. pattern-value is a string literal, where _ stands for any single character and % stands for any sequence of characters (including the empty sequence). All other characters stand for themselves. The optional escape-character is a single character string literal, whose character is used to escape the special meaning of the _ and % in pattern-value. phone LIKE 12%3 is true for 123 12993 and false for 1234. word LIKE l_se is true for lose and false for loose. underscored LIKE \_% ESCAPE \ is true for _foo and false for bar. phone NOT LIKE 12%3 is false for 123 12993 and true for 1234. If the identifier of a LIKE or NOT LIKE operation is NULL, the value of the operation is unknown. v identifier IS NULL comparison operator tests for a null header field value, or a missing property value. prop_name IS NULL. v identifier IS NOT NULL comparison operator tests for the existence of a non-null header field value or a property value. prop_name IS NOT NULL. The following message selector selects messages with a message type of car, color of blue, and weight greater than 2500 lbs:
"JMSType = 'car' AND color = 'blue' AND weight > 2500"

As noted above, property values may be NULL. The evaluation of selector expressions that contain NULL values is defined by SQL 92 NULL semantics. The following is a brief description of these semantics: v SQL treats a NULL value as unknown. v Comparison or arithmetic with an unknown value always yields an unknown value. v The IS NULL and IS NOT NULL operators convert an unknown value into the respective TRUE and FALSE values. Although SQL supports fixed decimal comparison and arithmetic, JMS message selectors do not. This is why exact numeric literals are restricted to those without a decimal. It is also why there are numerics with a decimal as an alternate representation for an approximate numeric value. SQL comments are not supported.

Mapping JMS messages

Mapping JMS messages onto MQSeries messages

This section describes how the JMS message structure that is described in the first part of this chapter is mapped onto an MQSeries message. It is of interest to programmers who wish to transmit messages between JMS and traditional MQSeries applications. It is also of interest to people who wish to manipulate messages transmitted between two JMS applications - for example, in a message broker implementation. MQSeries messages are composed of three components: v The MQSeries Message Descriptor (MQMD) v An MQSeries MQRFH2 header v The message body. The MQRFH2 is optional, and its inclusion in an outgoing message is governed by a flag in the JMS Destination class. You can set this flag using the MQSeries JMS administration tool. Because the MQRFH2 carries JMS-specific information, always include it in the message when the sender knows that the receiving destination is a JMS application. Normally, omit the MQRFH2 when sending a message directly to a non-JMS application (MQSeries Native application). This is because such an application does not expect an MQRFH2 in its MQSeries message. Figure 4 shows how the structure of a JMS message is transformed to an MQSeries message and back again:

The structures are transformed in two ways: Mapping Where the MQMD includes a field that is equivalent to the JMS field, the JMS field is mapped onto the MQMD field. Additional MQMD fields are exposed as JMS properties, because a JMS application may need to get or set these fields when communicating with a non-JMS application. Copying Where there is no MQMD equivalent, a JMS header field or property is passed, possibly transformed, as a field inside the MQRFH2.

Mapping JMS messages

The MQRFH2 header

This section describes the MQRFH Version 2 header, which carries JMS-specific data that is associated with the message content. The MQRFH2 Version 2 is an extensible header, and can also carry additional information that is not directly associated with JMS. However, but this section covers only its use by JMS. There are two parts of the header, a fixed portion, and a variable portion. Fixed portion The fixed portion is modelled on the standard MQSeries header pattern and consists of the following fields: StrucId (MQCHAR4) Structure identifier. Must be MQRFH_STRUC_ID (value: RFH ) (initial value). MQRFH_STRUC_ID_ARRAY (value: R,F,H, ) is also defined in the usual way. Version (MQLONG) Structure version number. Must be MQRFH_VERSION_2 (value: 2) (initial value). StrucLength (MQLONG) Total length of MQRFH2, including the NameValueData fields. The value set into StrucLength must be a multiple of 4 (the data in the NameValueData fields may be padded with space characters to achieve this). Encoding (MQLONG) Data encoding. Encoding of any numeric data in the portion of the message following the MQRFH2 (the next header, or the message data following this header). CodedCharSetId (MQLONG) Coded character set identifier. Representation of any character data in the portion of the message following the MQRFH2 (the next header, or the message data following this header). Format (MQCHAR8) Format name. Format name for the portion of the message following the MQRFH2. Flags (MQLONG) Flags. MQRFH_NO_FLAGS =0. No flags set. NameValueCCSID (MQLONG) The coded character set identifier (CCSID) for the NameValueData character strings contained in this header. The NameValueData may be coded in a character set that differs from the other character strings that are contained in the header (StrucID and Format).

If the NameValueCCSID is a 2-byte Unicode CCSID (1200, 13488, or 17584), the byte order of the Unicode is the same as the byte ordering of the numeric fields in the MQRFH2. (For example, Version, StrucLength, NameValueCCSID itself.) | | | The NameValueCCSID may take only values from the following table:
Table 17. Possible values for NameValueCCSID field Value Meaning 1200 UCS2 open-ended 1208 UTF8 13488 UCS2 2.0 subset 17584 UCS2 2.1 subset (includes Euro symbol)

Variable Portion The variable portion follows the fixed portion. The variable portion contains a variable number of MQRFH2 Folders. Each folder contains a variable number of elements or properties. Folders group together related properties. The MQRFH2 headers created by JMS can contain up to three folders: The <mcd> folder This contains properties that describe the shape or format of the message. For example the Msd property identifies the message as being Text, Bytes, Stream. Map, Object, or Null. This folder is always present in a JMS MQRFH2. The <jms> folder This is used to transport JMS header fields, and JMSX properties that cannot be fully expressed in the MQMD. This folder is always present in a JMS MQRFH2. The <usr> folder This is used to transport any application-defined properties associated with the message. This folder is only present if the application has set some application-defined properties. Table 18 shows a full list of property names.

The syntax used to express the properties in the variable portion is as follows: NameValueLength (MQLONG) Length in bytes of the NameValueData string that immediately follows this length field (it does not include its own length). The value set into NameValueLength is always a multiple of 4 (the NameValueData field is padded with space characters to achieve this). NameValueData (MQCHARn) A single character string, whose length in bytes is given by the preceding NameValueLength field. It contains a folder holding a sequence of properties. Each property is a name/type/value triplet, contained within an XML element whose name is the folder name, as follows:
<foldername> triplet1 triplet2 ..... tripletn </foldername>

The closing </foldername> tag can be followed by spaces as padding characters. Each triplet is encoded using an XML-like syntax:
<name dt='datatype'>value</name>

| | | |

The dt='datatype' element is optional and is omitted for many properties, because their datatype is predefined. If it is included, one or more space characters must be included before the dt= tag. name is the name of the property - see Table 18 on page 197. datatype must match, after folding, one of the literal Datatype values in Table 19. value is a string representation of the value to be conveyed, using the Definitions inTable 19.

reconstitute an equivalent destination object. The MQRFH2 field is encoded as URI (see uniform resource identifiers on page 173 for details of the URI notation). v JMSReplyTo to MQMD ReplyToQ, ReplyToQMgr, MQRFH2: The Queue and QueueManager name are copied to the MQMD ReplyToQ and ReplyToQMgr fields respectively. The destination extension information (other useful details that are kept in the Destination Object) is copied into the MQRFH2 field. The MQRFH2 field is encoded as URI (see uniform resource identifiers on page 173 for details of the URI notation). v JMSDeliveryMode to MQMD Persistence: The JMSDeliveryMode value is set by the send/publish() Method or MessageProducer, unless the Destination Object overrides it. The JMSDeliveryMode value is mapped to the MQMD Persistence field as follows: JMS value PERSISTENT is equivalent to MQPER_PERSISTENT JMS value NON_PERSISTENT is equivalent to MQPER_NOT_PERSISTENT If JMSDeliveryMode is set to a non-default value, the delivery mode value is also encoded in the MQRFH2. v JMSExpiration to/from MQMD Expiry, MQRFH2: JMSExpiration stores the time to expire (the sum of the current time and the time to live), whereas MQMD stores the time to live. Also, JMSExpiration is in milliseconds, but MQMD.expiry is in centiseconds. If the send() method sets an unlimited time to live, MQMD Expiry is set to MQEI_UNLIMITED, and no JMSExpiration is encoded in the MQRFH2. If the send() method sets a time to live that is less than 214748364.7 seconds (about 7 years), the time to live is stored in MQMD. Expiry and the expiration time (in milliseconds) is encoded as an i8 value in the MQRFH2. If the send() method sets a time to live greater than 214748364.7 seconds, MQMD.Expiry is set to MQEI_UNLIMITED. The true expiration time in milliseconds is encoded as an i8 value in the MQRFH2. v JMSPriority to MQMD Priority: Directly map JMSPriority value (0-9) onto MQMD priority value (0-9). If JMSPriority is set to a non-default value, the priority level is also encoded in the MQRFH2. v JMSMessageID from MQMD MessageID: All messages sent from JMS have unique message identifiers assigned by MQSeries. The value assigned is returned in the MQMD messageId field after the MQPUT call, and is passed back to the application in the JMSMessageID field. The MQSeries messageId is a 24-byte binary value, whereas the JMSMessageID is a String. The JMSMessageID is composed of the binary messageId value converted to a sequence of 48 hexadecimal characters, prefixed with the characters ID:. JMS provides a hint that can be set to disable the production of message identifiers. This hint is ignored, and a unique identifier is assigned in all cases. Any value that is set into the JMSMessageId field before a send() is overwritten. v JMSTimestamp from MQMD PutDate, PutTime: After a send, the JMSTimestamp field is set equal to the date/time value given by the MQMD PutDate and PutTime fields. Any value that is set into the JMSMessageId field before a send() is overwritten. v JMSType to MQRFH2: This string is set into the MQRFH2. v JMSCorrelationID to MQMD CorrelId, MQRFH2: The JMSCorrelationID can hold one of the following: A provider specific message ID: This is a message identifier from a message previously sent or received, and so should be a string of 48 hexadecimal digits that are prefixed with ID:. The prefix is removed, the remaining

characters are converted into binary, and then they are set into the MQMD CorrelId field. No CorrelId value is encoded in the MQRFH2. A provider-native byte[] value: The value is copied into the MQMD CorrelId field - padded with nulls, or truncated to 24 bytes if necessary. No CorrelId value is encoded in the MQRFH2. An application-specific String: The value is copied into the MQRFH2. The first 24 bytes of the string, in UTF8 format, are written into the MQMD CorrelID.

Mapping JMS property fields

These notes refer to the mapping of JMS property fields in MQSeries messages: v JMSXUserID from MQMD UserIdentifier: JMSXUserID is set on return from send call. v JMSXAppID from MQMD PutApplName: JSMXAppID is set on return from send call. v JMSXGroupID to MQRFH2 (point-to-point): For point-to-point messages, the JMSXGroupID is copied into the MQMD GroupID field. If the JMSXGroupID starts with the prefix ID:, it is converted into binary. Otherwise, it is encoded as a UTF8 string. The value is padded or truncated if necessary to a length of 24 bytes. The MQF_MSG_IN_GROUP flag is set. v JMSXGroupID to MQRFH2 (publish/subscribe): For publish/subscribe messages, the JMSXGroupID is copied into the MQRFH2 as a string. v JMSXGroupSeq MQMD MsgSeqNumber (point-to-point): For point-to-point messages, the JMSXGroupSeq is copied into the MQMD MsgSeqNumber field. The MQF_MSG_IN_GROUP flag is set. v JMSXGroupSeq MQMD MsgSeqNumber (publish/subscribe): For publish/subscribe messages, the JMSXGroupSeq is copied into the MQRFH2 as an i4.

Mapping JMS provider-specific fields

The following notes refer to the mapping of JMS Provider specific fields into MQSeries messages: v JMS_IBM_Report_<name> to MQMD Report: A JMS application can set the MQMD Report options, using the following JMS_IBM_Report_XXX properties. The single MQMD is mapped to several JMS_IBM_Report_XXX properties. The application should set the value of these properties to the standard MQSeries MQRO_ constants (included in com.ibm.mq.MQC). So, for example, to request COD with full Data, the application should set JMS_IBM_Report_COD to the value MQC.MQRO_COD_WITH_FULL_DATA. JMS_IBM_Report_Exception MQRO_EXCEPTION or MQRO_EXCEPTION_WITH_DATA or MQRO_EXCEPTION_WITH_FULL_DATA JMS_IBM_Report_Expiration MQRO_EXPIRATION or MQRO_EXPIRATION_WITH_DATA or MQRO_EXPIRATION_WITH_FULL_DATA JMS_IBM_Report_COA

If the application has not set an explicit value of JMS_IBM_MsgType, then a default value is used. This default value is determined as follows: If JMSReplyTo is set to an MQSeries queue destination, MSGType is set to the value MQMT_REQUEST If JMSReplyTo is not set, or is set to anything other than an MQSeries queue destination, MsgType is set to the value MQMT_DATAGRAM v JMS_IBM_Feedback to MQMD Feedback: Value maps directly onto MQMD Feedback. v JMS_IBM_Format to MQMD Format: Value maps directly onto MQMD Format. v JMS_IBM_Encoding to MQMD Encoding: If set, this property overrides the numeric encoding of the Destination Queue or Topic. v JMS_IBM_Character_Set to MQMD CodedCharacterSetId: If set, this property overrides the coded character set property of the Destination Queue or Topic.

Chapter 12. JMS messages

205

Mapping JMS messages

The administrator indicates that the JMS Client is communicating with such an application by setting the MQSeries Destinations TargetClient value to JMSC.MQJMS_CLIENT_NONJMS_MQ. This indicates that no MQRFH2 field is to be produced. Note that if this is not done, the receiving application must be able to handle the MQRFH2 field. The mapping from JMS to MQMD targeted at a Native MQSeries application is the same as mapping from JMS to MQMD targeted at a true JMS client. If JMS receives an MQSeries message with the MQMD Format field set to other than MQFMT_RFH2, we know that we are receiving data from a non-JMS application. If the Format is MQFMT_STRING, the message is received as a JMS Text Message. Otherwise, it is received as a JMS Bytes message. Because there is no MQRFH2, only those JMS properties that are transmitted in the MQMD can be restored.

Message body
This section discusses the encoding of the message body itself. The encoding depends on the type of JMS message: ObjectMessage is an object serialized by the Java Runtime in the normal way. TextMessage is an encoded string. For an outgoing message, the string is encoded in the character set given by the Destination object. This defaults to UTF8 encoding (the UTF8 encoding starts with the first character of the message - there is no length field at the start). It is, however, possible to specify any other character set supported by MQ Java. Such character sets are used mainly when you send a message to a non-JMS application. If the character set is a double-byte set (including UTF16), the Destination objects integer encoding specification determines the order of the bytes. An incoming message is interpreted using the character set and encoding that are specified in the message itself. These specifications are in the rightmost MQSeries header (or MQMD if there are no headers). For JMS messages, the rightmost header will usually be the MQRFH2. BytesMessage is, by default, a sequence of bytes as defined by the JMS 1.0.2 specification, and associated Java documentation. For an outgoing message that was assembled by the application itself, the Destination objects encoding property may be used to override the

206

MQSeries Using Java

Mapping JMS messages

encodings of integer and floating point fields contained in the message. For example, you can request that floating point values are stored in S/390 rather than IEEE format). An incoming message is interpreted using the numeric encoding specified in the message itself. This specification is in the rightmost MQSeries header (or MQMD if there are no headers). For JMS messages, the rightmost header will usually be the MQRFH2. If a BytesMessage is received, and is resent without modification, its body is transmitted byte for byte, as it was received. The Destination objects encoding property has no effect on the body. The only string-like entity that can be sent explicitly in a BytesMessage is a UTF8 string. This is encoded in Java UTF8 format, and starts with a 2-byte length field. The Destination objects character set property has no effect on the encoding of an outgoing BytesMessage. The character set value in an incoming MQSeries message has no effect on the interpretation of that message as a JMS BytesMessage. Non-Java applications are unlikely to recognize the Java UTF8 encoding. Therefore, for a JMS application to send a BytesMessage that contains text data, the application itself must convert its strings to byte arrays, and write these byte arrays into the BytesMessage. MapMessage is a string containing a set of XML name/type/value triplets, encoded as:
<map><elementName1 dt='datatype'>value</elementName1> <elementName2 dt='datatype'>value</elementName2>..... </map>

where: datatype can take one of the values described in Table 19 on page 198. string is the default datatype, so dt='string' is omitted. The character set used to encode or interpret the XML string that makes up the MapMessage body is determined following the rules that apply to a TextMessage. StreamMessage is like a map, but without element names:
<stream><elt dt='datatype'>value</elt> <elt dt='datatype'>value</elt>.....</stream>

Every element is sent using the same tagname (elt). The default type is string, so dt='string' is omitted for string elements. The character set used to encode or interpret the XML string that makes up the StreamMessage body is determined following the rules that apply to a TextMessage. The MQRFH2.format field is set as follows: MQFMT_NONE for ObjectMessage, BytesMessage, or messages with no body. MQFMT_STRING for TextMessage, StreamMessage, or MapMessage.

Chapter 13. MQ JMS Application Server Facilities

MQ JMS V5.2 supports the Application Server Facilities (ASF) that are specified in the Java Message Service 1.0.2 specification (see Suns Java Web site at http://java.sun.com). This specification identifies three roles within this programming model: v The JMS provider supplies ConnectionConsumer and advanced Session functionality. v The application server supplies ServerSessionPool and ServerSession functionality. v The client application uses the functionality that the JMS provider and application server supply. The following sections contain details about how MQ JMS implements ASF: v ASF classes and functions describes how MQ JMS implements the ConnectionConsumer class and advanced functionality in the Session class. v Application server sample code on page 215 describes the sample ServerSessionPool and ServerSession code that is supplied with MQ JMS. v Examples of ASF use on page 219 describes supplied ASF samples and examples of ASF use from the perspective of a client application. Note: The Java Message Service 1.0.2 specification for ASF also describes JMS support for distributed transactions using the X/Open XA protocol. For details of the XA support that MQ JMS provides, see Appendix E. JMS JTA/XA interface with WebSphere on page 361.

MQ JMS implements the ConnectionConsumer class and advanced functionality in the Session class. For details, see: v v v v v MQPoolServices on page 123 MQPoolServicesEvent on page 124 MQPoolToken on page 126 MQPoolServicesEventListener on page 153 ConnectionConsumer on page 243

ConnectionConsumer
The JMS specification enables an application server to integrate closely with a JMS implementation by using the ConnectionConsumer interface. This feature provides concurrent processing of messages. Typically, an application server creates a pool of threads, and the JMS implementation makes messages available to these threads. A JMS-aware application server can use this feature to provide high-level messaging functionality, such as message processing beans. Normal applications do not use the ConnectionConsumer, but expert JMS clients might use it. For such clients, the ConnectionConsumer provides a

ASF classes and functions

high-performance method to deliver messages concurrently to a pool of threads. When a message arrives on a queue or a topic, JMS selects a thread from the pool and delivers a batch of messages to it. To do this, JMS runs an associated MessageListeners onMessage() method. You can achieve the same effect by constructing multiple Session and MessageConsumer objects, each with a registered MessageListener. However, the ConnectionConsumer provides better performance, less use of resources, and greater flexibility. In particular, fewer Session objects are required. To help you develop applications that use ConnectionConsumers, MQ JMS provides a fully-functioning example implementation of a pool. You can use this implementation without any changes, or adapt it to suit the specific needs of the application.

Planning an application
General principles for point-to-point messaging
When an application creates a ConnectionConsumer from a QueueConnection object, it specifies a JMS Queue object and a selector string. The ConnectionConsumer then begins to receive messages (or, more accurately, to provide messages to Sessions in the associated ServerSessionPool). Messages arrive on the queue, and if they match the selector, they are delivered to Sessions in the associated ServerSessionPool. In MQSeries terms, the Queue object refers to either a QLOCAL or a QALIAS on the local Queue Manager. If it is a QALIAS, that QALIAS must refer to a QLOCAL. The fully resolved MQSeries QLOCAL is known as the underlying QLOCAL. A ConnectionConsumer is said to be active if it is not closed and its parent QueueConnection is started. It is possible for multiple ConnectionConsumers, each with different selectors, to run against the same underlying QLOCAL. To maintain performance, unwanted messages should not accumulate on the queue. Unwanted messages are those for which no active ConnectionConsumer has a matching selector. You can set the QueueConnectionFactory so that these unwanted messages are removed from the queue (for details, see Removing messages from the queue on page 213). You can set this behavior in one of two ways: v Use the JMS Administration tool to set the QueueConnectionFactory to MRET(NO). v In your program, use:
MQQueueConnectionFactory.setMessageRetention(JMSC.MQJMS_MRET_NO)

If you do not change this setting, the default is to retain such unwanted messages on the queue. It is possible that ConnectionConsumers that target the same underlying QLOCAL could be created from multiple QueueConnection objects. However, for performance reasons, we recommend that multiple JVMs do not create ConnectionConsumers against the same underlying QLOCAL. When you set up the MQSeries Queue Manager, consider the following points: v The underlying QLOCAL must be enabled for shared input. To do this, use the following MQSC command:
ALTER QLOCAL(your.qlocal.name) SHARE GET(ENABLED)

210

MQSeries Using Java

ASF classes and functions

v Your queue manager must have an enabled dead-letter queue. If a ConnectionConsumer experiences a problem when it puts a message on the dead-letter queue, message delivery from the underlying QLOCAL stops. To define a dead-letter queue, use:
ALTER QMGR DEADQ(your.dead.letter.queue.name)

v The user that runs the ConnectionConsumer must have authority to perform MQOPEN with MQOO_SAVE_ALL_CONTEXT and MQOO_PASS_ALL_CONTEXT. For details, see the MQSeries documentation for your specific platform. v If unwanted messages are left on the queue, they degrade the system performance. Therefore, plan your message selectors so that between them, the ConnectionConsumers will remove all messages from the queue. For details about MQSC commands, see MQSeries MQSC Command Reference.

General principles for publish/subscribe messaging

When an application creates a ConnectionConsumer from a TopicConnection object, it specifies a Topic object and a selector string. The ConnectionConsumer then begins to receive messages on that Topic that match the selector. Alternatively, an application can create a durable ConnectionConsumer that is associated with a specific name. This ConnectionConsumer receives messages that have been published on the Topic since the durable ConnectionConsumer was last active. It receives all such messages on the Topic that match the selector. For non-durable subscriptions, a separate queue is used for ConnectionConsumer subscriptions. The CCSUB configurable option on the TopicConnectionFactory specifies the queue to use. Normally, the CCSUB should specify a single queue for use by all ConnectionConsumers that use the same TopicConnectionFactory. However, it is possible to make each ConnectionConsumer generate a temporary queue by specifying a queue name prefix followed by a *. For durable subscriptions, the CCDSUB property of the Topic specifies the queue to use. Again, this may be a queue that already exists or a queue name prefix followed by a *. If you specify a queue that already exists, all durable ConnectionConsumers that subscribe to the Topic use this queue. If you specify a queue name prefix followed by a *, a queue is generated the first time that a durable ConnectionConsumer is created with a given name. This queue is reused later when a durable ConnectionConsumer is created with the same name. When you set up the MQSeries Queue Manager, consider the following points: v Your queue manager must have an enabled dead-letter queue. If a ConnectionConsumer experiences a problem when it puts a message on the dead-letter queue, message delivery from the underlying QLOCAL stops. To define a dead-letter queue, use:
ALTER QMGR DEADQ(your.dead.letter.queue.name)

v The user that runs the ConnectionConsumer must have authority to perform MQOPEN with MQOO_SAVE_ALL_CONTEXT and MQOO_PASS_ALL_CONTEXT. For details, see the MQSeries documentation for your specific platform. v You can optimize performance for an individual ConnectionConsumer by creating a separate, dedicated, queue for it. This is at the cost of extra resource usage.

Handling poison messages

Sometimes, a badly-formatted message arrives on a queue. Such a message might make the receiving application fail and back out the receipt of the message. In this situation, such a message might be received, then returned to the queue, repeatedly. These messages are known as poison messages. The ConnectionConsumer must be able to detect poison messages and reroute them to an alternative destination. When an application uses ConnectionConsumers, the circumstances in which a message is backed out depend on the Session that the application server provides: v When the Session is non-transacted, with AUTO_ACKNOWLEDGE or DUPS_OK_ACKNOWLEDGE, a message is backed out only after a system error, or if the application terminates unexpectedly. v When the Session is non-transacted with CLIENT_ACKNOWLEDGE, unacknowledged messages can be backed out by the application server calling Session.recover(). Typically, the client implementation of MessageListener or the application server calls Message.acknowledge(). Message.acknowledge() acknowledges all messages delivered on the session so far. v When the Session is transacted, typically, the application server commits the Session. If the application server detects an error, it may choose to back out one or more messages. v If the application server supplies an XASession, messages are committed or backed out depending on a distributed transaction. The application server takes responsibility for completing the transaction. The MQSeries Queue Manager keeps a record of the number of times that each message has been backed out. When this number reaches a configurable threshold, the ConnectionConsumer requeues the message on a named Backout Queue. If this requeue fails for any reason, the message is removed from the queue and either requeued to the dead-letter queue, or discarded. See Removing messages from the queue on page 213 for more details. On most platforms, the threshold and requeue queue are properties of the MQSeries QLOCAL. For point-to-point messaging, this should be the underlying QLOCAL. For publish/subscribe messaging, this is the CCSUB queue defined on the TopicConnectionFactory, or the CCDSUB queue defined on the Topic. To set the threshold and requeue Queue properties, issue the following MQSC command:
ALTER QLOCAL(your.queue.name) BOTHRESH(threshold) BOQUEUE(your.requeue.queue.name)

For publish/subscribe messaging, if your system creates a dynamic queue for each subscription, these settings are obtained from the MQ JMS model queue. To alter these settings, you can use:
ALTER QMODEL(SYSTEM.JMS.MODEL.QUEUE) BOTHRESH(threshold) BOQUEUE(your.requeue.queue.name)

If the threshold is zero, poison message handling is disabled, and poison messages will remain on the input queue. Otherwise, when the backout count reaches the threshold, the message is sent to the named requeue queue. If the backout count reaches the threshold, but the message cannot go to the requeue queue, the message is sent to the dead-letter queue or discarded. This situation occurs if the requeue queue is not defined, or if the ConnectionConsumer cannot send the message to the requeue queue. On some platforms, you cannot specify the threshold and requeue queue properties. On these platforms, messages are sent to

212

MQSeries Using Java

ASF classes and functions

the dead-letter queue, or discarded, when the backout count reaches 20. SeeRemoving messages from the queue for further details.

Removing messages from the queue

When an application uses ConnectionConsumers, JMS might need to remove messages from the queue in a number of situations: Badly formatted message A message may arrive that JMS cannot parse. Poison message A message may reach the backout threshold, but the ConnectionConsumer fails to requeue it on the backout queue. No interested ConnectionConsumer For point-to-point messaging, when the QueueConnectionFactory is set so that it does not retain unwanted messages, a message arrives that is unwanted by any of the ConnectionConsumers. In these situations, the ConnectionConsumer attempts to remove the message from the queue. The disposition options in the report field of the messages MQMD set the exact behavior. These options are: MQRO_DEAD_LETTER_Q The message is requeued to the queue managers dead-letter queue. This is the default. MQRO_DISCARD_MSG The message is discarded. The ConnectionConsumer also generates a report message, and this also depends on the report field of the messages MQMD. This message is sent to the messages ReplyToQ on the ReplyToQmgr. If there is an error while the report message is being sent, the message is sent to the dead-letter queue instead. The exception report options in the report field of the messages MQMD set details of the report message. These options are: MQRO_EXCEPTION A report message is generated that contains the MQMD of the original message. It does not contain any message body data. MQRO_EXCEPTION_WITH_DATA A report message is generated that contains the MQMD, any MQ headers, and 100 bytes of body data. MQRO_EXCEPTION_WITH_FULL_DATA A report message is generated that contains all data from the original message. default No report message is generated. When report messages are generated, the following options are honoured: v v v v MQRO_NEW_MSG_ID MQRO_PASS_MSG_ID MQRO_COPY_MSG_ID_TO_CORREL_ID MQRO_PASS_CORREL_ID

If a ConnectionConsumer cannot follow the disposition options, or the exception report options, in the messages MQMD, its action depends on the persistence of
Chapter 13. MQ JMS Application Server Facilities

213

ASF classes and functions

the message. If the message is non-persistent, the message is discarded, and no report message is generated. If the message is persistent, delivery of all messages from the QLOCAL stops. Therefore, it is important to define a dead-letter queue, and to check it regularly to ensure that no problems occur. Particularly, ensure that the dead-letter queue does not reach its maximum depth, and that its maximum message size is large enough for all messages. When a message is requeued to the dead-letter queue, it is preceded by an MQSeries dead-letter header (MQDLH). See MQSeries Application Programming Reference for details about the format of the MQDLH. You can identify messages that a ConnectionConsumer has placed on the dead-letter queue, or report messages that a ConnectionConsumer has generated, by the following fields: v PutApplType is MQAT_JAVA (0x1C) v PutApplName is MQ JMS ConnectionConsumer These fields are in the MQDLH of messages on the dead-letter queue, and the MQMD of report messages. The feedback field of the MQMD, and the Reason field of the MQDLH, contain a code describing the error. For details about these codes, see Error handling. Other fields are as described in the MQSeries Application Programming Reference.

Error handling
Recovering from error conditions
If a ConnectionConsumer experiences a serious error, message delivery to all ConnectionConsumers with an interest in the same QLOCAL stops. Typically, this occurs if the ConnectionConsumer cannot requeue a message to the dead-letter queue, or it experiences an error when reading messages from the QLOCAL. When this occurs, the application and application server are notified in the following way: v Any ExceptionListener that is registered with the affected Connection is notified. You can use these to identify the cause of the problem. In some cases, the system administrator must intervene to resolve the problem. There are two ways in which an application can recover from these error conditions: v Call close() on all affected ConnectionConsumers. The application can create new ConnectionConsumers only after all affected ConnectionConsumers are closed and any system problems are resolved. v Call stop() on all affected Connections. Once all Connections are stopped and any system problems are resolved, the application should be able to start() all Connections successfully.

Reason and feedback codes

To determine the cause of an error, you can use: v The feedback code in any report messages v The reason code in the MQDLH of any messages in the dead-letter queue

214

MQSeries Using Java

ASF classes and functions

ConnectionConsumers generate the following reason codes. MQRC_BACKOUT_THRESHOLD_REACHED (0x93A; 2362) Cause The message reaches the Backout Threshold defined on the QLOCAL, but no Backout Queue is defined. On platforms where you cannot define the Backout Queue, the message reaches the JMS-defined backout threshold of 20. Action To avoid this situation, ensure that ConnectionConsumers using the queue provide a set of selectors that deal with all messages, or set the QueueConnectionFactory to retain messages. Alternatively, investigate the source of the message. MQRC_MSG_NOT_MATCHED (0x93B; 2363) Cause In point-to-point messaging, there is a message that does not match any of the selectors for the ConnectionConsumers monitoring the queue. To maintain performance, the message is requeued to the dead-letter queue. To avoid this situation, ensure that ConnectionConsumers using the queue provide a set of selectors that deal with all messages, or set the QueueConnectionFactory to retain messages. Alternatively, investigate the source of the message. MQRC_JMS_FORMAT_ERROR (0x93C; 2364) Cause Action JMS cannot interpret the message on the queue. Investigate the origin of the message. JMS usually delivers messages of an unexpected format as a BytesMessage or TextMessage. Occasionally, this fails if the message is very badly formatted.

Action

Other codes that appear in these fields are caused by a failed attempt to requeue the message to a Backout Queue. In this situation, the code describes the reason that the requeue failed. To diagnose the cause of these errors, refer to the MQSeries Application Programming Reference. If the report message cannot be put on the ReplyToQ, it is put on the dead-letter queue. In this situation, the feedback field of the MQMD is filled in as described above. The reason field in the MQDLH explains why the report message could not be placed on the ReplyToQ.

Application server sample code

Normally, the application server supplies ServerSessionPool and ServerSession functionality. However, MQ JMS is supplied with a simple implementation of these interfaces, with program source. These samples are in the following directory, where <install_dir> is the installation directory for MQ JMS:
<install_dir>/samples/jms/asf

These samples enable you to use the MQ JMS ASF in a standalone environment (that is, you do not need a suitable application server). Also, they provide examples of how to implement these interfaces and take advantage of the MQ JMS ASF. These examples are intended to aid both MQ JMS users, and vendors of other application servers.

MyServerSession.java
This class implements the javax.jms.ServerSession interface. Its basic function is to associate a thread with a JMS Session. Instances of this class are pooled by a ServerSessionPool (see MyServerSessionPool.java). As a ServerSession, it must implement the following two methods: v getSession(), which returns the JMS Session this associated with this ServerSession v start(), which starts this ServerSessions thread and results in the JMS Sessions run() method being invoked MyServerSession also implements the Runnable interface. Therefore, the creation of the ServerSessions thread can be based on this class, and does not need a separate class. The class uses a wait()-notify() mechanism that is based on the values of two boolean flags, ready and quit. This mechanism means that the ServerSession creates and starts its associated thread during its construction. However, it does not automatically execute the body of the run() method. The body of the run() method is executed only when the ready flag is set to true by the start() method. The ASF calls the start() method when it is necessary to deliver messages to the associated JMS Session. For delivery, the run() method of the JMS Session is called. The MQ JMS ASF will have already loaded the run() method with messages. After delivery completes, the ready flag is reset to false, and the owning ServerSessionPool is notified that delivery is complete. The ServerSession then remains in a wait state until either the start() method is called again, or the close() method is invoked and ends this ServerSessions thread.

MyServerSessionPool.java
This class implements the javax.jms.ServerSessionPool interface, and exists to create and control access to a pool of ServerSessions. In this simple implementation, the pool consists of a static array of ServerSession objects that are created during the construction of the pool. The following four parameters are passed into the constructor: v javax.jms.Connection connection The connection used to create JMS Sessions. v int capacity The size of the array of MyServerSession objects.
Chapter 13. MQ JMS Application Server Facilities

217

Application server sample code

v int ackMode The required acknowledge mode of the JMS Sessions. v MessageListenerFactory mlf The MesssageListenerFactory that creates the message listener that is supplied to the JMS Sessions. See MessageListenerFactory.java. The pools constructor uses these parameters to create an array of MyServerSession objects. The supplied connection is used to create JMS Sessions of the given acknowledge mode and correct domain (QueueSessions for point-to-point and TopicSessions for publish/subscribe). The Sessions are supplied with a message listener. Finally, the ServerSession objects, based on the JMS Sessions, are created. This sample implementation is a static model. That is, all the ServerSessions in the pool are created when the pool is created, and after this, the pool cannot grow or shrink. This approach is just for simplicity. It is possible for a ServerSessionPool to use a sophisticated algorithm to create ServerSessions dynamically, as needed. MyServerSessionPool keeps a record of which ServerSessions are currently in use by maintaining an array of boolean values called inUse. These booleans are all initialized to false. When the getServerSession method is invoked and requests a ServerSession from the pool, the inUse array is searched for the first false value. When one is found, the boolean is set to true and the corresponding ServerSession is returned. If there are no false values in the inUse array, the getServerSession method must wait() until notification occurs. Notification occurs in either of the following circumstances: v The pools close() method is called, indicating that the pool should be shut down. v A ServerSession that is currently in use completes its workload and calls the serverSessionFinished method. The serverSessionFinished method returns the ServerSession to the pool, and sets the corresponding inUse flag to false. The ServerSession then becomes eligible for re-use.

MessageListenerFactory.java
In this sample, a message listener factory object is associated with each ServerSessionPool instance. The MessageListenerFactory class represents a very simple interface that is used to obtain an instance of a class that implements the javax.jms.MessageListener interface. The class contains a single method:
javax.jms.MessageListener createMessageListener();

An implementation of this interface is supplied when the ServerSessionPool is constructed. This object is used to create message listeners for the individual JMS Sessions that back up the ServerSessions in the pool. This architecture means that each separate implementation of the MessageListenerFactory interface must have its own ServerSessionPool. MQ JMS includes a sample MessageListenerFactory implementation, which is discussed in CountingMessageListenerFactory.java on page 220.

MQSeries Using Java

Examples of ASF use

There is a set of classes, with their source, in the directory <install_dir>/samples/jms/asf (where <install_dir> is the installation directory for MQ JMS). These classes use the MQ JMS application server facilities that are described in ASF classes and functions on page 209, within the sample standalone application server environment that is described in Application server sample code on page 215. These samples provide three examples of ASF use from the perspective of a client application: v A simple point-to-point example uses: ASFClient1.java Load1.java CountingMessageListenerFactory.java v A more complex point-to-point example uses: ASFClient2.java Load2.java CountingMessageListenerFactory.java LoggingMessageListenerFactory.java v A simple publish/subscribe example uses: ASFClient3.java TopicLoad.java CountingMessageListenerFactory.java v A more complex publish/subscribe example uses: ASFClient4.java TopicLoad.java CountingMessageListenerFactory.java LoggingMessageListenerFactory.java

The following sections describe each class in turn.

Load1.java
This class is a simple generic JMS application that loads a given queue with a number of messages, then terminates. It can either retrieve the required administered objects from a JNDI namespace, or create them explicitly, using the MQ JMS classes that implement these interfaces. The administered objects that are required are a QueueConnectionFactory and a Queue. You can use the command line options to set the number of messages with which to load the queue, and the sleep time between individual message puts. This application has two versions of the command line syntax. For use with JNDI, the syntax is:
java Load1 [-icf jndiICF] [-url jndiURL] [-qcfLookup qcfLookup] [-qLookup qLookup] [-sleep sleepTime] [-msgs numMsgs]

For use without JNDI, the syntax is:

java Load1 -nojndi [-qm qMgrName] [-q qName] [-sleep sleepTime] [-msgs numMsgs]

qMgrName Name of queue manager to connect to qName sleepTime numMsgs Name of queue to load Time (in milliseconds) to pause between message puts Number of messages to put

If there are any errors, an error message is displayed, and the application terminates. You can use this application to simulate message load on an MQSeries queue. In turn, this message load could trigger the ASF-enabled applications described in the following sections. The messages put to the queue are simple JMS TextMessage objects. These objects do not contain user-defined message properties, which could be useful to make use of different message listeners. The source code is supplied so that you can modify this load application if necessary.

CountingMessageListenerFactory.java
This file contains definitions for two classes: v CountingMessageListener v CountingMessageListenerFactory CountingMessageListener is a very simple implementation of the javax.jms.MessageListener interface. It keeps a record of the number of times its onMessage method has been invoked, but does nothing with the messages it is passed. CountingMessageListenerFactory is the factory class for CountingMessageListener. It is an implementation of the MessageListenerFactory interface described in MessageListenerFactory.java on page 218. This factory keeps a record of all the message listeners that it produces. It also includes a method, printStats(), which displays usage statistics for each of these listeners.

ASFClient1.java
This application acts as a client of the MQ JMS ASF. It sets up a single ConnectionConsumer to consume the messages in a single MQSeries queue. It displays throughput statistics for each message listener that is used, and terminates after one minute.

220

Examples of ASF use

The application can either retrieve the required administered objects from a JNDI namespace, or create them explicitly, using the MQ JMS classes that implement these interfaces. The administered objects that are required are a QueueConnectionFactory and a Queue. This application has two versions of the command line syntax: For use with JNDI, the syntax is:
java ASFClient1 [-icf jndiICF] [-url jndiURL] [-qcfLookup qcfLookup] [-qLookup qLookup] [-poolSize poolSize] [-batchSize batchSize]

For use without JNDI, the syntax is:

The application obtains a QueueConnection from the QueueConnectionFactory. A ServerSessionPool, in the form of a MyServerSessionPool, is constructed using: v the QueueConnection that was created previously v the required poolSize v an acknowledge mode, AUTO_ACKNOWLEDGE v an instance of a CountingMessageListenerFactory, as described in CountingMessageListenerFactory.java on page 220

Chapter 13. MQ JMS Application Server Facilities

221

Examples of ASF use

Then, the connections createConnectionConsumer method is invoked, passing in: v the Queue that was obtained earlier v a null message selector (indicating that all messages should be accepted) v the ServerSessionPool that was just created v the batchSize that is required The consumption of messages is then started through invocation of the connections start() method. The client application displays throughput statistics for each message listener that is used, displaying statistics every 10 seconds. After one minute, the connection is closed, the server session pool is stopped, and the application terminates.

Load2.java
This class is a JMS application that loads a given queue with a number of messages, then terminates, in a similar way to Load1.java. The command line syntax is also similar to that for Load1.java (substitute Load2 for Load1 in the syntax). For details, see Load1.java on page 219. The difference is that each message contains a user property called value, which takes a randomly selected integer value between 0 and 100. This property means that you can apply message selectors to the messages. Consequently, the messages can be shared between the two consumers that are created in the client application described in ASFClient2.java.

LoggingMessageListenerFactory.java
This file contains definitions for two classes: v LoggingMessageListener v LoggingMessageListenerFactory LoggingMessageListener is an implementation of the javax.jms.MessageListener interface. It takes the messages that are passed to it and writes an entry to the log file. The default log file is ./ASFClient2.log. You can inspect this file and check the messages that are sent to the connection consumer that is using this message listener. LoggingMessageListenerFactory is the factory class for LoggingMessageListener. It is an implementation of the MessageListenerFactory interface described in MessageListenerFactory.java on page 218.

ASFClient2.java
ASFClient2.java is a slightly more complicated client application than ASFClient1.java. It creates two ConnectionConsumers that feed off the same queue, but that apply different message selectors. The application uses a CountingMessageListenerFactory for one consumer, and a LoggingMessageListenerFactory for the other. Use of two different message listener factories means that each consumer must have its own server session pool. The application displays statistics that relate to one ConnectionConsumer on screen, and writes statistics that relate to the other ConnectionConsumer to a log file.

222

MQSeries Using Java

Examples of ASF use

The command line syntax is similar to that for ASFClient1.java on page 220 (substitute ASFClient2 for ASFClient1 in the syntax). Each of the two server session pools contains the number of ServerSessions set by the poolSize parameter. There should be an uneven distribution of messages. The messages loaded onto the source queue by Load2 contain a user property, where the value should be between 0 and 100, evenly and randomly distributed. The message selector value>75 is applied to highConnectionConsumer, and the message selector value75 is applied to normalConnectionConsumer. The highConnectionConsumers messages (approximately 25% of the total load) are sent to a LoggingMessageListener. The normalConnectionConsumers messages (approximately 75% of the total load) are sent to a CountingMessageListener. When the client application runs, statistics that relate to the normalConnectionConsumer, and its associated CountingMessageListenerFactories, are printed to screen every 10 seconds. Statistics that relate to the highConnectionConsumer, and its associated LoggingMessageListenerFactories, are written to the log file. You can inspect the screen and the log file to see the real destination of the messages. Add the totals for each of the CountingMessageListeners. As long as the client application does not terminate before all the messages are consumed, this should account for approximately 75% of the load. The number of log file entries should account for the remainder of the load. (If the client application terminates before all the messages are consumed, you can increase the application timeout.)

TopicLoad.java
This class is a JMS application that is a publish/subscribe version of the Load2 queue loader described in Load2.java on page 222. It publishes the required number of messages under the given topic, then it terminates. Each message contains a user property called value, which takes a randomly selected integer value between 0 and 100. To use this application, ensure that the broker is running and that the required setup is complete. For details, see Additional setup for Publish/Subscribe mode on page 20. This application has two versions of the command line syntax. For use with JNDI, the syntax is:
java TopicLoad [-icf jndiICF] [-url jndiURL] [-tcfLookup tcfLookup] [-tLookup tLookup] [-sleep sleepTime] [-msgs numMsgs]

For use without JNDI, the syntax is:

java TopicLoad -nojndi [-qm qMgrName] [-t tName] [-sleep sleepTime] [-msgs numMsgs]

Table 31 describes the parameters and gives their defaults.

If there are any errors, an error message is displayed, and the application terminates.

ASFClient3.java
ASFClient3.java is a client application that is a publish/subscribe version of ASFClient1.java on page 220. It sets up a single ConnectionConsumer to consume the messages published on a single Topic. It displays throughput statistics for each message listener that is used, and terminates after one minute. This application has two versions of the command line syntax. For use with JNDI, the syntax is:
java ASFClient3 [-icf jndiICF] [-url jndiURL] [-tcfLookup tcfLookup] [-tLookup tLookup] [-poolsize poolSize] [-batchsize batchSize]

For use without JNDI, the syntax is:

Like ASFClient1, the client application displays throughput statistics for each message listener that is used, displaying statistics every 10 seconds. After one minute, the connection is closed, the server session pool is stopped, and the application terminates.

ASFClient4.java
ASFClient4.java is a more complex publish/subscribe client application. It creates three ConnectionConsumers that all feed off the same topic, but each one applies different message selectors. The first two consumers use high and normal message selectors, in the same way as the application ASFClient2.java on page 222. The third consumer does not use any message selector. The application uses two CountingMessageListenerFactories for the two selector-based consumers, and a LoggingMessageListenerFactory for the third consumer. Because the application uses different message listener factories, each consumer must have its own server session pool. The application displays statistics that relate to the two selector-based consumers on screen. It writes statistics that relate to the third ConnectionConsumer to a log file. The command line syntax is similar to that for ASFClient3.java on page 224 (substitute ASFClient4 for ASFClient3 in the syntax). Each of the three server session pools contains the number of ServerSessions set by the poolSize parameter. When the client application runs, statistics that relate to the normalConnectionConsumer and the highConnectionConsumer, and their associated CountingMessageListenerFactories, are printed to screen every 10 seconds. Statistics that relate to the third ConnectionConsumer, and its associated LoggingMessageListenerFactories, are written to the log file. You can inspect the screen and the log file to see the real destination of the messages. Add the totals for each of the CountingMessageListeners and inspect the number of log file entries. The distribution of messages should be different from the distribution obtained by a point-to-point version of the same application (ASFClient2.java). This is because, in the publish/subscribe domain, each consumer of a topic obtains its own copy of each message published on that topic. In this application, for a given topic load, the high and normal consumers will receive approximately 25% and 75% of the load, respectively. The third consumer will still receive 100% of the load. Therefore, the total number of messages received is greater than 100% of the load originally published on the topic.

public void stop() throws JMSException

Used to stop a Connections delivery of incoming messages temporarily. It can be restarted using its start method. When stopped, delivery to all the Connections message consumers is inhibited. Synchronous receives are blocked, and messages are not delivered to message listeners. Stopping a session has no affect on its ability to send messages. Stopping a stopped session is ignored.

Chapter 14. JMS interfaces and classes

241

Connection
Throws: JMSException - if the JMS implementation fails to stop the message delivery because of an internal error. See also: start close
public void close() throws JMSException

Because a provider may allocate some resources outside the JVM on behalf of a Connection, clients should close them when they are not needed. You cannot rely on garbage collection to reclaim these resources eventually, because this may not occur soon enough. There is no need to close the sessions, producers, and consumers of a closed connection. Closing a connection causes any of its sessions in-process transactions to be rolled back. In the case where a sessions work is coordinated by an external transaction manager, when using XASession, a sessions commit and rollback methods are not used and the result of a closed sessions work is determined later by a transaction manager. Closing a connection does NOT force an acknowledge of client acknowledged sessions. MQ JMS keeps a pool of MQSeries hConns available for use by Sessions. Under some circumstances, Connection.close() clears this pool. If an application uses multiple Connections sequentially, it is possible to force the pool to remain active between JMS Connections. To do this, register an MQPoolToken with com.ibm.mq.MQEnvironment for the lifetime of your JMS application. For details, see Connection pooling on page 64 and MQEnvironment on page 88. Throws: JMSException - if the JMS implementation fails to close the connection because of an internal error. Examples are a failure to release resources or to close a socket connection.

Methods
close()
public void close() throws JMSException

Because a provider may allocate some resources outside of the JVM on behalf of a ConnectionConsumer, clients should close them when they are not needed.

MQSeries Using Java

ExceptionListener

ExceptionListener
public interface ExceptionListener If a JMS provider detects a serious problem with a Connection, it will inform the Connections ExceptionListener if one has been registered. It does this by calling the listeners onException() method, passing it a JMSException that describes the problem. This allows a client to be asynchronously notified of a problem. Some Connections only consume messages so they would have no other way to learn their Connection has failed. Exceptions are delivered when: v There is a failure in receiving an asynchronous message v A message throws a runtime exception

Methods
onException
public void onException(JMSException exception)

Notify user of a JMS exception. Parameters: exception - the JMS exception. These are exceptions that result from asynchronous message delivery. Typically, they indicate a problem with receiving a message from the queue manager, or possibly an internal error in the JMS implementation.

QueueRequestor

QueueRequestor
public class QueueRequestor extends java.lang.Object
java.lang.Object | +----javax.jms.QueueRequestor

JMS provides this QueueRequestor helper class to simplify making service requests. The QueueRequestor constructor is given a non-transacted QueueSession and a destination Queue. It creates a TemporaryQueue for the responses, and provides a request() method that sends the request message and waits for its reply. Users are free to create more sophisticated versions. See also: TopicRequestor

Constructors
QueueRequestor
public QueueRequestor(QueueSession session, Queue queue) throws JMSException

This implementation assumes that the session parameter is non-transacted and either AUTO_ACKNOWLEDGE or DUPS_OK_ACKNOWLEDGE. Parameters: v session - the queue session the queue belongs to. v queue - the queue to perform the request/reply call on. Throws: JMSException - if a JMS error occurs.

Methods
request
public Message request(Message message) throws JMSException

Send a request and wait for a reply. The temporary queue is used for replyTo, and only one reply per request is expected. Parameters: message - the message to send. Returns: the reply message. Throws: JMSException - if a JMS error occurs.

Some application servers provide support to group JTS-capable resource use into a distributed transaction. To include JMS transactions in a JTS transaction, an application server requires a JTS-aware JMS provider. A JMS provider exposes its JTS support by using a JMS XAConnectionFactory, which an application server uses to create XASessions. XAConnectionFactories are JMS-administered objects just like ConnectionFactories. It is expected that application servers use JNDI to find them. Refer to Appendix E. JMS JTA/XA interface with WebSphere on page 361 for details about how MQ JMS uses XA classes. See also: XAQueueConnectionFactory and XATopicConnectionFactory

XASession

XASession
public interface XASession extends Session Subinterfaces: XAQueueSession and XATopicSession MQSeries class: MQXASession
java.lang.Object | +----com.ibm.mq.jms.MQXASession

XASession extends the capability of Session by adding access to a JMS providers support for JTA. This support takes the form of a javax.transaction.xa.XAResource object. The functionality of this object closely resembles that defined by the standard X/Open XA Resource interface. An application server controls the transactional assignment of an XASession by obtaining its XAResource. It uses the XAResource to assign the session to a transaction, prepare and commit work on the transaction, and so on. An XAResource provides some fairly sophisticated facilities such as interleaving work on multiple transactions and recovering a list of transactions in progress. A JTA-aware JMS provider must fully implement this functionality. To do this, a JMS provider could either use the services of a database that supports XA, or implement this functionality from scratch. A client of the application server is given what appears to be a regular JMS Session. Behind the scenes, the application server controls the transaction management of the underlying XASession. Refer to Appendix E. JMS JTA/XA interface with WebSphere on page 361 for details about how MQ JMS uses XA classes. See also: XAQueueSession and XATopicSession

Methods
getXAResource
public javax.transaction.xa.XAResource getXAResource()

Appendix C. LDAP schema definition for storing Java objects

| | | | | | | | | | | | This appendix gives details of the schema definitions (objectClass and attribute definitions) needed in an LDAP directory in order for it to store Java objects. Its intended audience is users wishing to use an LDAP server as their JNDI service provider in which to store MQ JMS administered objects. You should ensure that your LDAP server schema contains the following definitions; the exact procedure to achieve this will vary from server to server. How to make the changes to some specific LDAP servers is covered later in this section. Much of the data contained in this appendix has been taken from RFC 2713 Schema for Representing Java Objects in an LDAP Directory, which can be found at http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc2713.html. LDAP server-specific information has been taken from Sun Microsystems JNDI 1.2.1 LDAP service provider, available at http://java.sun.com/products/jndi.

Checking your LDAP server configuration

| | | To check whether the LDAP server is already configured to accept Java objects, run the MQ JMS Administration Tool JMSAdmin against your LDAP server (see Invoking the Administration tool on page 31). Attempt to create and display a test object using the following commands:
DEFINE QCF(ldapTest) DISPLAY QCF(ldapTest)

| | | | | | | | | |

If no errors occur, your server is properly configured to store Java objects and you can proceed to store JMS objects. However, if your LDAP server contains older schema definitions (for example, from an earlier draft of RFC 2713 such as the now-obsolete draft-ryan-java-schema-00 and draft-ryan-java-schema-01 specifications), you should update them with those presented here. If a SchemaViolationException occurs, or if the message Unable to bind to object is returned, your server is not properly configured. Either your server is not configured to store Java objects, or permissions on the objects are not correct, or the provided suffix or context has not been set up. The following information should help you with the schema configuration part of your server setup.

Server-specific configuration details Netscape Directory (4.1 and earlier)

This level of Netscape Directory does not support the Octet String syntax, so Binary syntax (1.3.6.1.4.1.1466.115.121.1.5) should be used in its place. Netscape Directory 4.1 also has problems parsing an object class definition which contains a MUST clause without parentheses. The workaround is to add a superfluous value (objectClass) to each MUST clause. Alternatively, you may wish to use the Sun-supplied schema modification applications described in Sun Microsystems Schema Modification Applications on page 357.

Microsoft Active Directory

Within Active Directory, only the names of structural classes (not auxiliary classes) may appear in the object class attribute of an entry. Therefore, the abstract and auxiliary classes in the Java schema definition should be re-defined as structural. This has the following effects: v the javaObject class should now inherit from javaContainer v the javaNamingReference and javaSerializedObject classes should now inherit from javaObject Instead of making these changes manually, you may wish to use the Sun-supplied schema modification applications described in Sun Microsystems Schema Modification Applications on page 357.

Sun Microsystems Schema Modification Applications

You can use your LDAP servers administration tool (for example, the Directory Management Tool for IBMs SecureWay Directory) to verify or add the definitions described above. Alternatively, Sun Microsystems JNDI 1.2.1 LDAP service provider (available at http://java.sun.com/products/jndi) contains Java applications (CreateJavaSchema.java and UpdateJavaSchema.java) which will add or update the required schema definitions automatically. These applications contain workarounds for schema bugs and server-specific behavior in both Netscape Directory Server (pre-4.1 and 4.1) and Microsoft Windows 2000 Active Directory. These applications are not packaged with MQSeries classes for Java Message Service. Details on running them can be found in both the README and the application source contained in the Sun JNDI 1.2.1 LDAP service provider download.

iSeries OS/400 V4R5 Schema Modification

You can use your LDAP servers administration tool (the Directory Management Tool for IBMs SecureWay Directory) to verify or add the definitions described above. OS/400 V4R5 LDAP Server is shipped with an out of date version of RFC 2713 schema for java objects. This schema must be updated to the schema as described above for correct operation with JMSAdmin. Modifying the schema requires the out of data definitions and any uses of those definitions to be deleted before the correct definitions can be added. OS/400 V5R1 is shipped with the current version of RFC 2713 and does not require these changes.

MQSeries Using Java

Appendix D. Connecting to MQSeries Integrator V2

You can use MQSeries Integrator V2: v as the publish/subscribe broker for MQ JMS v to route or transform messages that are created by a JMS client application, and to send or publish messages to a JMS client

Publish/subscribe
You can use MQSeries Integrator V2 as the publish/subscribe broker for MQ JMS. This requires the following setup activities: v Base MQSeries First, you must create a broker publication queue. This is an MQSeries queue on the broker queue manager; it is used to submit publications to the broker. You can choose your own name for this queue but it must match the queue name in your TopicConnectionFactorys BROKERPUBQ property. By default, a TopicConnectionFactorys BROKERPUBQ property is set to the value SYSTEM.BROKER.DEFAULT.STREAM so, unless you want to configure a different name in the TopicConnectionFactory, you should name the queue SYSTEM.BROKER.DEFAULT.STREAM. v MQSeries Integrator V2 The next step is to set up a message flow within an execution group for the broker. The purpose of this message flow is to read messages from the broker publication queue. (If you want, you can set up multiple publication queues; each will need its own TopicConnectionFactory and message flow.) The basic message flow consists of an MQInput node (configured to read from the SYSTEM.BROKER.DEFAULT.STREAM queue) whose output is connected to the input of a Publication (or MQOutput) node. The message flow diagram would therefore look similar to the following:

Figure 7. MQSeries Integrator message flow

When this message flow is deployed and the broker is started, from the JMS applications perspective the MQSeries Integrator V2 broker behaves like an MQSeries Publish/Subscribe broker. The current subscription state can be viewed using the MQSeries Integrator Control Center. Notes: 1. No modifications are required to MQSeries classes for Java Message Service. 2. MQSeries Publish/Subscribe and MQSeries Integrator V2 brokers cannot coexist on the same queue manager. 3. Details of the MQSeries Integrator V2 installation and setup procedure are described in the MQSeries Integrator for Windows NT Version 2.0 Installation Guide.

Connecting to MQSeries Integrator V2

Transformation and routing

You can use MQSeries Integrator V2 to route or transform messages that are created by a JMS client application, and to send or publish messages to a JMS client. The MQSeries JMS implementation uses the mcd folder of the MQRFH2 to carry information about the message, as described in The MQRFH2 header on page 196. By default, the Message Domain (Msd) property is used to identify whether the message is a text, bytes, stream, map, or object message. This value is set depending on the type of the JMS message. If the application calls setJMSType it can set the mcd type field to a value of its choosing. This type field can be read by the MQSeries Integrator message flow, and a receiving JMS application can use the getJMSType method to retrieve its value. This applies to all kinds of JMS message. When a JMS application creates a text or bytes message, the application can set mcd folder fields explicitly by calling the setJMSType method and passing in a string argument in a special URI format as follows:
mcd://domain/[set]/[type][?format=fmt]

| | | | | | | | |

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |

This URI form allows an application to set the mcd to a domain that is not one of the standard jms_xxxx values; for example, to domain mrm. It also allows the application to set any or all of the mcd set, type and format fields if desired. The string argument to setJMSType is interpreted as follows: 1. If the string does not appear to be in the special URI format (i.e. it does not start with mcd://) then the string is added to the mcd folder as the type field. 2. If the string does start with mcd:// and conforms to the URI format and the message is a Text or Bytes message, then the URI string is split into its constituent parts. The domain part overrides the jms_text or jms_bytes value that would otherwise have been generated, and the remaining parts (if present) are used to set the set, type and format fields in the mcd. Note that set, type and format are all optional. 3. If the string starts with mcd:// and the message is a Map, Stream or Object message then the setJMSType call throws an exception. So you cannot override the domain, or provide a set or format for these classes of message, but you can provide a type if you wish. When an MQ message is received with an Msd domain other than one of the standard jms_xxxx values, it is instantiated as a JMS text or bytes message and a URI-style JMSType is assigned to it. The receiving application can read this using the getJMSType method.

MQSeries Using Java

Appendix E. JMS JTA/XA interface with WebSphere

MQSeries classes for Java Message Service includes the JMS XA interfaces. These allow MQ JMS to participate in a two-phase commit that is coordinated by a transaction manager that complies with the Java Transaction API (JTA). This section describes how to use these features with the WebSphere Application Server, Advanced Edition, so that WebSphere can coordinate JMS send and receive operations, and database updates, in a global transaction. Notes: 1. Before you use MQ JMS and the XA classes with WebSphere, there might be additional installation or configuration steps. Refer to the Readme.txt file on the MQSeries Using Java SupportPac Web page for the latest information (www.ibm.com/software/ts/mqseries/txppacs/ma88.html). 2. The functions described here are not supported in MQ Java for iSeries & AS/400.

Using the JMS interface with WebSphere

This section provides guidance on using the JMS interface with the WebSphere Application Server, Advanced Edition. You must already understand the basics of JMS programs, MQSeries, and EJB beans. These details are in the JMS specification, the EJB V2 specification (both available from Sun), this manual, the samples provided with MQ JMS, and other manuals for MQSeries and WebSphere.

Administered objects
JMS uses administered objects to encapsulate vendor-specific information. This minimizes the impact of vendor-specific details on end-user applications. Administered objects are stored in a JNDI namespace, and can be retrieved and used in a portable manner without knowledge of the vendor-specific contents. For standalone use, MQ JMS provides the following classes: v MQQueueConnectionFactory v MQQueue v MQTopicConnectionFactory v MQTopic WebSphere provides an additional pair of administered objects so that MQ JMS can integrate with WebSphere: v JMSWrapXAQueueConnectionFactory v JMSWrapXATopicConnectionFactory You use these objects in exactly the same way as the MQQueueConnectionFactory and MQTopicConnectionFactory. However, behind the scenes they use the XA versions of the JMS classes, and enlist the MQ XAResource in the WebSphere transaction.

361

JMS JTA/XA interface with WebSphere

Container-managed versus bean-managed transactions

Container-managed transactions are transactions in EJB beans that are demarcated automatically by the EJB container. Bean-managed transactions are transactions in EJB beans that are demarcated by the program (via the UserTransaction interface).

Two-phase commit versus one-phase optimization

The WebSphere coordinator only invokes a true two-phase commit if more than one XAResource is used in a particular transaction. Transactions that involve a single resource are committed using a one-phase optimization. This largely removes the need to use different ConnectionFactories for distributed and non-distributed transactions.

Defining administered objects

You can use the MQ JMS administration tool to define the WebSphere-specific connection factories and store them in a JNDI namespace. The admin.config file in MQ_install_dir/bin should contain the following lines:
INITIAL_CONTEXT_FACTORY=com.ibm.ejs.ns.jndi.CNInitialContextFactory PROVIDER_URL=iiop://hostname/

MQ_install_dir is the installation directory for MQ JMS, and hostname is the name or IP address of the machine that is running WebSphere. To access the com.ibm.ejs.ns.jndi.CNInitialContextFactory, you must add the file ejs.jar from the WebSphere lib directory to the CLASSPATH. To create the new factories, use the define verb with the following two new types:
def WSQCF(name) [properties] def WSTCF(name) [properties]

These new types use the same properties as the equivalent QCF or TCF types, except that only the BIND transport type is allowed (and therefore, client properties cannot be configured). For details, see Administering JMS objects on page 35.

Retrieving administration objects

In an EJB bean, you retrieve the JMS-administered objects using the InitialContext.lookup() method, for example:
InitialContext ic = new InitialContext(); TopicConnectionFactory tcf = (TopicConnectionFactory) ic.lookup("jms/Samples/TCF1");

The objects can be cast to, and used as, the generic JMS interfaces. Normally, there is no need to program to the MQSeries specific classes in the application code.

Samples
There are three samples that illustrate the basics of using MQ JMS with WebSphere Application Server Advanced Edition. These are in subdirectories of MQ_install_dir/samples/ws, where MQ_install_dir is the installation directory for MQ JMS. v Sample1 demonstrates a simple put and get for a message in a queue by using container-managed transactions. v Sample2 demonstrates a simple put and get for a message in a queue by using bean-managed transactions.

362

MQSeries Using Java

JMS JTA/XA interface with WebSphere

v Sample3 illustrates the use of the publish/subscribe API. For details about how to build and deploy the EJB beans, please refer to the WebSphere Application Server documentation. The readme.txt files in each sample directory include example output from each EJB bean. The scripts provided assume that a default queue manager is available on the local machine. If your installation varies from the default, you can edit these scripts as required.

Sample1
Sample1EJB.java, in the sample1 directory, defines two methods that use JMS: v putMessage() sends a TextMessage to a queue, and returns the MessageID of the sent message v getMessage() reads the message with the specified MessageID back from the queue Before you run the sample, you must store two administered objects in the WebSphere JNDI namespace: QCF1 a WebSphere-specific queue connection factory Q1 a queue

Both objects must be bound in the jms/Samples sub-context. To set up the administered objects, you can either use the MQ JMS administration tool and set them up manually, or you can use the script provided. The MQ JMS administration tool must be configured to access the WebSphere namespace. For details about how to configure the administration tool, refer to Configuring for WebSphere on page 33. To set up the administered objects with typical default settings, you can enter the following command to run the script admin.scp:
JMSAdmin < admin.scp

The bean must be deployed with the getMessage and putMessage methods marked as TX_REQUIRED. This ensures that the container starts a transaction before entering each method, and commits the transaction when the method completes. Within the methods, you do not need any application code that relates to the transactional state. However, remember that the message sent from putMessage occurs under syncpoint, and will not become available until the transaction is committed. In the sample1 directory, there is a simple client program, Sample1Client.java, to call the EJB bean. There is also a script, runClient, to simplify running this program. The client program (or script) takes a single parameter, which is used as the body of a TextMessage that will be sent by the EJB bean putMessage method. Then, the getMessage is called to read the message back off the queue and return the body to the client for display. The EJB bean sends progress messages to the standard output (stdout) of the application server, so you might wish to monitor that output during the run.

Appendix E. JMS JTA/XA interface with WebSphere

363

JMS JTA/XA interface with WebSphere

If the application server is on a machine that is remote from the client, you might need to edit Sample1Client.java. If you do not use the defaults, you may need to edit the runClient script to match the local installation path and name of the deployed jar file.

Sample2
Sample2EJB.java, in the sample2 directory, performs the same task as sample1, and requires the same administered objects. Unlike sample1, sample2 uses bean-managed transactions to control the transactional boundaries. If you have not already run sample1, ensure that you set up the administered objects QCF1 and Q1, as described in Sample1 on page 363. The putMessage methods and getMessage methods start by obtaining an instance of UserTransaction. They use this instance to create a transaction via the UserTransaction.begin() method. After that, the main body of the code is the same as sample1 until the end of each method. At the end of each method, the transaction is completed by the UserTransaction.commit() call. In the sample2 directory, there is a simple client program, Sample2Client.java, to call the EJB bean. There is also a script, runClient, to simplify running this program. You can use these in the same way as described for Sample1 on page 363.

Sample3
Sample3EJB.java, in the sample3 directory, demonstrates the use of the publish/subscribe API with WebSphere. Publishing a message is very similar to the point to point case. However, there are differences when receiving messages via a TopicSubscriber. Publish/subscribe programs commonly use nondurable subscribers. These nondurable subscribers exist only for the lifetime of their owning sessions (or less if the subscriber is closed explicitly). Also, they can receive messages from the broker only during that lifetime. To convert sample1 to publish/subscribe, you might replace the QueueSender in putMessage with a TopicPublisher, and the QueueReceiver in getMessage with a nondurable TopicSubscriber. However, this would fail, because when the message is sent, the broker would not know of any subscribers to the topic. Therefore, the message would be discarded. The solution is to create a durable subscriber before the message is published. Durable subscribers persist as a deliverable end-point beyond the lifetime of the session. Therefore, the message is available for retrieval during the call to getMessage(). The EJB bean includes two additional methods: v createSubscription creates a durable subscription v destroySubscription deletes a durable subscription These methods (along with putMessage and getMessage) must be deployed with the TX_REQUIRED attribute.

364

MQSeries Using Java

JMS JTA/XA interface with WebSphere

Before you run sample3, you must store two administered objects in the WebSphere JNDI namespace: TCF1 T1 Both objects must be bound in the jms/Samples sub-context. To set up the administered objects, you can either use the MQ JMS administration tool and set them up manually, or you can use a script. The script admin.scp is provided in the sample3 directory. The MQ JMS administration tool must be configured to access the WebSphere namespace. For details about how to configure the administration tool, refer to Configuring for WebSphere on page 33. To set up the administered objects with typical default settings, you can enter the following command to run the script admin.scp:
JMSAdmin < admin.scp

If you have already run admin.scp to set up objects for sample1 or sample2, there will be error messages when you run admin.scp for sample3. (These occur when you attempt to create the jms and Samples sub-contexts.) You can safely ignore these error messages. Also, before you run sample3, ensure that the MQSeries publish/subscribe broker (SupportPac MA0C) is installed and running. In the sample3 directory, there is a simple client program, Sample3Client.java, to call the EJB bean. There is also a script, runClient, to simplify running this program. You can use these in the same way as described for Sample1 on page 363.

Appendix F. Using MQ Java in applets with Java 1.2 or later

You may need to perform additional tasks to run an applet using MQ Java classes in a Java virtual machine (JVM) at Java 1.2 level or greater. This is because the default security rules for applets with JVMs at these levels were changed to reduce the risk of damage by malevolent or misbehaving classes. There are two different approaches that you can take: 1. Change the security settings on the browser and JVM to allow the use of MQ Java packages. 2. Copy the MQ Java classes to the same location as the applet you wish to run.

Changing browser security settings

Different errors can result from trying to run the same applet in different environments; for example, in IBM VisualAge for Java, in appletviewer (supplied with most Java Development Kits) or in a web browser such as Internet Explorer. The differences are to do with different security settings in each environment. You can change the behavior of the environments to allow an applet access to the classes it needs that are stored in package files. In the following instructions, examples assume use of the Windows platform. On other platforms, the instructions will need slight modification. For IBM VisualAge for Java: You must change the java.policy file found in <vaj_install_dir>\ide\program\lib\security, where <vaj_install_dir> is the directory in which you installed IBM VisualAge for Java. Make the following changes to the permissions: 1. Comment out the line
permission java.net.SocketPermission "localhost:1024-", "listen";

and replace it with the following line:

permission java.net.SocketPermission "*", "accept, connect, listen, resolve";

2. Add the following lines:

permission permission permission permission java.util.PropertyPermission "MQJMS_LOG_DIR", "read"; java.util.PropertyPermission "MQJMS_TRACE_DIR", "read"; java.util.PropertyPermission "MQJMS_TRACE_LEVEL", "read"; java.lang.RuntimePermission "loadLibrary.*";

Notes: 1. You may need to restart VisualAge for Java if you get the error message Unknown Java Error after repeated tests. 2. Make sure that <ma88_install_dir>\java\lib is in the workspace classpath. For appletviewer: Find the policy file for your JDK and make the same changes as for IBM VisualAge for Java. For example, in the IBM Developer Kit for Windows, Java Technology Edition, Version 1.3, the java.policy file is found in the

367

Changing browser security

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | directory <jdk_install_dir>\jre\lib\security, where <jdk_install_dir> is the directory where the Developer Kit was installed. For a web browser: To achieve consistent behavior for applets within different web browsers use the Sun Java plug-in. 1. Install the Sun Java plug-in 1.3.01 or later. From this level, Netscape 6 is also supported. 2. Make the same changes to the java.policy file as listed above. The policy file is found in <java_plugin_install_dir>\lib\security. 3. Make sure that your HTML applet tags are changed to run with the plug-in. Download and run the Sun HTML Converter v1.3 to make the necessary changes.

Copying package class files

When a Java program is executed in the context of an applet (which is what is done when appletviewer is executed or a web browser is used), by default the Java program has significant security restrictions applied to it. One of these restrictions is that all environment variables in effect when the applet is launched are ignored. This includes CLASSPATH. As a result, unless you make the changes described in Changing browser security settings on page 367, when an applet is executed, each and every class that it needs must also be available for download from the same location as the applet code itself. To achieve this on a Windows system, perform the following steps (non-Windows users will need to perform similar tasks): 1. Download and install WINZIP (http://www.winzip.com) or equivalent file unzipping utility 2. Find the files containing the MQ Java, or other package, classes that your applet needs. For example, MQ base Java classes are in a file called com.ibm.mq.jar usually found in the C:\Program Files\IBM\MQSeries\Java\lib folder. 3. Using the unzipping utility you installed in step 1, extract all the files in the .jar file into the folder that contains your applet. For the samples supplied with MQ Java, the folder to use is C:\Program Files\IBM\MQSeries\Java\samples\base This will result in a sub-folder structure com\ibm being created. 4. Run your applet.

Running MQ base Java applications under CICS Transaction Server for OS/390
To run a Java application as a transaction under CICS, you must: 1. Define the application and transaction to CICS by using the supplied CEDA transaction. 2. Ensure that the MQSeries CICS adapter is installed in your CICS system. (See MQSeries for OS/390 System Management Guide for details.) 3. Ensure that the JVM environment specified in the DHFJVM parameter of your CICS startup JCL (Job Control Language) includes appropriate CLASSPATH and LIBPATH entries. 4. Initiate the transaction by using any of your normal processes. For more information on running CICS Java transactions, refer to your CICS system documentation.

Restrictions under CICS Transaction Server

In the CICS Transaction Server for OS/390 environment, only the main (first) thread is allowed to issue CICS or MQSeries calls. It is therefore not possible to share MQQueueManager or MQQueue objects between threads in this environment, or to create a new MQQueueManager on a child thread. Table 12 on page 74 lists the restrictions and variations which apply to the MQSeries classes for Java when running against an OS/390 MQSeries queue manager. Additionally, when running under CICS, the transaction control methods on MQQueueManager are not supported. Instead of issuing MQQueueManager.commit() or MQQueueManager.backout(), applications should use the JCICS task synchronization methods, Task.commit() and Task.rollback(). The Task class is supplied by JCICS in the com.ibm.cics.server package.
