Configuring the Connection Factory

To enable HTTP support, you need to set the connection factory’s imqAddressList attribute to the HTTP tunnel servlet URL. The general syntax of the HTTP tunnel servlet URL is the following:

http://hostName:portNumber

/contextRoot/tunnel

where hostName:portNumber is the name and port of the Web server/application server hosting the HTTP tunnel servlet and contextRoot is a path set when deploying the tunnel servlet on the Web server/application server.

For more information on connection factory attributes in general, and the imqAddressList attribute in particular, see the Message Queue Developer's Guide for Java Clients.

You can set connection factory attributes in one of the following ways:

• Using the -o option to the imqobjmgr command that creates the connection factory administered object (see Adding a Connection Factory), or set the attribute when creating the connection factory administered object using the Administration Console (imqadmin).

• Using the -D option to the command that launches the client (see the Message Queue Developer's Guide for Java Clients).

• Using an API call to set the attributes of a connection factory after you create it programmatically in client code (see the Message Queue Developer's Guide for Java Clients).
