Properties View Routing Tab

Use the Properties view Routing tab to specify where to send XML messages and where external systems can deliver responses. The Properties view Routing tab appears for all non-custom XSLT Sender plug-ins.

On the Routing to subtab you can specify where to send the XML Request message (JMS Destination). On the Routing Reply to subtab you can specify where the external system can deliver the XML Response or Exception message.

Field Use

JNDI Name

Enter the name of the queue to which the automation plug-in sends messages (on the To tab) or to which external systems send response (on the Reply To tab). JNDI Name is mandatory. Edit the system-supplied default value to reflect your own system topology. The JNDI name must be unique in the workspace.

Destination Type

Select the type of the message destination. A JMS destination is either a javax.jms.Queue or a javax.jms.Topic. You might use a topic, for example, if you want to publish messages for general availability to multiple external systems (on the To tab) or subscribe to a queue with multiple listeners (on the Reply To tab). You might use queues if you want only a single external system to consume the message.

URL, Initial Context Factory, and Connection Factory

(Optional) Enter this information to connect to an external application server. Specify the URL and the InitialContextFactory class for the JNDI provider, and specify the ConnectionFactory class for the JMS server.

Send Null Message

Select this option if you want to send a JMS message to an external system even if the message body is empty.
