Destinations

This section describes the MBeans used for managing destinations:

The following subsections describe each of these MBeans in detail.

Destination Configuration

The destination configuration MBean is used for configuring a destination. There is one such MBean for each destination.

Object Name

The destination configuration MBean has an object name of the following form:

com.sun.messaging.jms.server:type=Destination,subtype=Config,desttype=destinationType,name=destinationName

where destinationType is one of the destination types shown in Table 3-33 and destinationName is the name of the destination. For example:

com.sun.messaging.jms.server:type=Destination,subtype=Config,desttype=t,name="Dest"

The utility class MQObjectName provides a static method, createDestinationConfig, for constructing object names of this form.

Attributes

The destination configuration MBean has the attributes shown in Table 3-32. The names of these attributes are defined as static constants in the utility class DestinationAttributes.

Table 3-32 Destination Configuration Attributes

Name
Type
Settable?
Description
Name
String
No
Destination name
Type
String
No
Destination type

See Table 3-33 for possible values.

MaxNumMsgs
Long
Yes
Maximum number of unconsumed messages

A value of -1 denotes an unlimited number of messages.

MaxBytesPerMsg
Long
Yes
Maximum size, in bytes, of any single message

Rejection of a persistent message is reported to the producing client with an exception; no notice is sent for nonpersistent messages.

A value of -1 denotes an unlimited message size.

MaxTotalMsgBytes
Long
Yes
Maximum total memory, in bytes, for unconsumed messages
LimitBehavior
String
Yes
Broker behavior when memory-limit threshold reached

See Table 3-34 for possible values.

If the value is REMOVE_OLDEST or REMOVE_LOW_PRIORITY and the UseDMQ attribute is true, excess messages are moved to the dead message queue.

MaxNumProducers
Integer
Yes
Maximum number of associated message producers

When this limit is reached, no new producers can be created. A value of -1 denotes an unlimited number of producers.

MaxNumActiveConsumers1
Integer
Yes
Maximum number of associated active message consumers in load-balanced delivery

A value of -1 denotes an unlimited number of consumers.

MaxNumBackupConsumers1
Integer
Yes
Maximum number of associated backup message consumers in load-balanced delivery

A value of -1 denotes an unlimited number of consumers.

ConsumerFlowLimit
Long
Yes
Maximum number of messages delivered to consumer in a single batch

In load-balanced queue delivery, this is the initial number of queued messages routed to active consumers before load balancing begins. A destination consumer can override this limit by specifying a lower value on a connection.

A value of -1 denotes an unlimited number of consumers.

LocalOnly
Boolean
No
Local delivery only?

This property applies only to destinations in broker clusters, and cannot be changed once the destination has been created. If true, the destination is not replicated on other brokers and is limited to delivering messages only to local consumers (those connected to the broker on which the destination is created).

LocalDeliveryPreferred1
Boolean
Yes
Local delivery preferred?

This property applies only to load-balanced delivery in broker clusters. If true, messages will be delivered to remote consumers only if there are no associated consumers on the local broker. The destination must not be restricted to local-only delivery (LocalOnly must be false).

UseDMQ
Boolean
Yes
Send dead messages to dead message queue?

If false, dead messages will simply be discarded.

ValidateXMLSchemaEnabled
Boolean
Yes
XML schema validation is enabled?

If set to false or not set, then XML schema validation is not enabled for the destination.

XMLSchemaURIList
String
Yes
Space separated list of XML schema document (XSD) URI strings

The URIs point to the location of one or more XSDs to use for XML schema validation, if enabled.

Use double quotes around this value if multiple URIs are specified.

Example:

http://foo/flap.xsd http://test.com/test.xsd

If this property is not set or null and XML validation is enabled, XML validation is performed using a DTD specified in the XML document.

ReloadXMLSchemaOnFailure
Boolean
Yes
Reload XML schema on failure enabled?

If set to false or not set, then the schema is not reloaded if validation fails.
