Before you begin
Connection factories are objects that enable JMS clients to create JMS connections. A connection factory supports concurrent use, enabling multiple threads to access the object simultaneously.
To create a connection factory in a JMS system module:
Once you create a connection factory, you cannot rename it. Instead, you must delete it and create another one that uses the new name.
If you do not specify a JNDI name for the connection factory, it will not be available for JNDI lookup even after the connection factory has been targeted to a server resource. Therefore, you will only be able to access the connection factory in an application-scoped context.
Caution: If you click Finish at this point, the connection factory will be created but without any targeting information. As a result, the connection factory will not be deployed and thus will not be available to applications until you manually select a subdeployment target, as described in Specify a subdeployment for connection factories.
On the targeting page, you can either simply accept the parent JMS system module's default targets or proceed to an advanced targeting page where you can use the subdeployment mechanism for targeting this connection factory.
Upon clicking Finish, the configured connection factory is added to the module's Summary of Resources table, which displays its default targets. The default targeting will also be reflected by the Default Targeting Enabled checkbox on the connection factory's Configuration: General page.
Upon clicking Finish, the configured connection factory is added to the module's Summary of Resources table, which displays the user-defined subdeployment name and its targets. You can also reconfigure subdeployment targets later if you wish. For more information about managing subdeployments, refer to Configure subdeployments in JMS system modules.

If you want to configure additional parameters for the new connection factory, including a variety of general configuration properties, as well as transaction and flow control properties, see Configure connection factories.
