This chapter describes how to use the WebLogic Scripting Tool (WLST), a command-line scripting interface, to create and manage JMS servers and JMS system module resources for WebLogic Server 12.1.3. See "Using the WebLogic Scripting Tool" and "WLST Sample Scripts" in Understanding the WebLogic Scripting Tool.
This chapter includes the following sections:
A JMS system module is described by the jms-system-resource
MBean in the config.xml
file. Basic components of a jms-system-resource
MBean are:
name
: Name of the module.
target
: Server, cluster, or migratable target the module is targeted to.
sub-deployment
: A mechanism by which JMS system module resources (such as queues, topics, and connection factories) are grouped and targeted to a server resource (such as a JMS server instance, WebLogic Server instance, or cluster).
descriptor-file-name
: Path and file-name of the system module file.
The JMS resources of a system module are located in a module descriptor file that conforms to the weblogic-jmsmd.xml
schema. In Figure 7-1, the module is named myModule-jms.xml
and it contains JMS system resource definitions for a connection factory and a queue. The sub-deployment-name
element is used to group and target JMS resources in the myModule
-jms.xml
file to targets
in the config.xml
. You have to provide a value for the sub-deployment-name
element when using WLST. For more information on subdeployments, see JMS System Module and Resource Subdeployment Targeting. In Figure 7-1, the sub-deployment-name
DeployToJMSServer1 is used to group and target the connection factory CConfac
and the queue CQueue
in the myModule-jms
module.
For more information about how to use JMS resources, see What Are JMS Configuration Resources?.
Basic tasks that you need to perform when creating JMS system resources with WLST are:
Start an edit session.
Create a JMS system module that includes JMS resources, such as queues, topics, and connection factories.
Create JMS server resources.
After you have established an edit session, use the following steps to configure JMS servers and system module resources:
Example 7-1 WLST Script to Create JMS System Resources
""" This script starts an edit session, creates a JMS Server, targets the jms server to the server WLST is connected to and creates a JMS System module with a jms queue and connection factory. The jms queues and topics are targeted using sub-deployments. """ import sys from java.lang import System print "@@@ Starting the script ..." myJmsSystemResource = "CapiQueue-jms" factoryName = "CConFac" jmsServerName = "myJMSServer" queueName = "CQueue" url = sys.argv[1] usr = sys.argv[2] password = sys.argv[3] connect(usr,password, url) edit() startEdit() //Step 1 servermb=getMBean("Servers/examplesServer") if servermb is None: print '@@@ No server MBean found' else: //Step 2 jmsMySystemResource = create(myJmsSystemResource,"JMSSystemResource") //Step 3 jmsMySystemResource.addTarget(servermb) //Step 4 theJMSResource = jmsMySystemResource.getJMSResource() //Step 5 connfact1 = theJMSResource.createConnectionFactory(factoryName) jmsqueue1 = theJMSResource.createQueue(queueName) //Step 6 connfact1.setJNDIName(factoryName) jmsqueue1.setJNDIName(queueName) //Step 7 jmsqueue1.setSubDeploymentName('DeployToJMSServer1') connfact1.setSubDeploymentName('DeployToJMSServer1') //Step 8 jmsserver1mb = create(jmsServerName,'JMSServer') //Step 9 jmsserver1mb.addTarget(servermb) //Step 10 subDep1mb = jmsMySystemResource.createSubDeployment('DeployToJMSServer1') //Step 11 subDep1mb.addTarget(jmsserver1mb) . . .
You can modify or monitor JMS objects and attributes by using the appropriate method available from the MBean. see Example 7-2.
You can modify JMS objects and attributes using the set, target, untarget, and delete methods.
You can monitor JMS runtime objects using get methods.
For more information, see "Navigating MBeans (WLST Online)" in Understanding the WebLogic Scripting Tool.
Example 7-2 WLST Script to Modify JMS Objects
. . print '@@@ delete system resource' jmsMySystemResource = delete("CapiQueue-jms","JMSSystemResource") print '@@@ delete server' jmsserver1mb = delete(jmsServerName,'JMSServer') . . .
The following are the best practices information when using WLST to configure JMS servers and JMS system module resources:
Trap for Null MBean objects (such as servers, JMS servers, modules) before trying to manipulate the MBean object.
Use a meaningful name when providing a subdeployment name. For example, the subdeployment name DeployToJMSServer1 tells you that all subdeployments with this name are deployed to JMSServer1.
