You can create two kinds of JMS resources in the Application Server:
Connection Factories: administered objects that implement the ConnectionFactory, QueueConnectionFactory, or TopicConnectionFactory interfaces.
Destination Resources: administered objects that implement the Queue or Topic interfaces.
In either case, the steps for creating a JMS resource are the same. You can create a JMS resource in the following ways:
To create a JMS resource using the Administration Console, open the Resources component, then open the JMS Resources component. Click Connection Factories to create a connection factory, or click Destination Resources to create a queue or topic. For details, see the Sun Java System Application Server Enterprise Edition 8.1 2005Q2 Administration Guide.
To create a JMS resource, use the asadmin create-jms-resource command. For details, see the Sun Java System Application Server Enterprise Edition 8.1 2005Q2 Reference Manual.
When a Queue is automatically created for a message-driven bean deployed to an Application Server cluster, the value of the property maxNumActiveConsumers is set to -1 so that multiple consumers can access the Queue at the same time. For more information, see Load-Balanced Message Inflow.
All JMS resource properties that used to work with version 7 of the Application Server are supported for backward compatibility.
