Tomee - Websphere MQ properties

[curveman]

Hi,

We are currently connecting to some Websphere MQs. We have added the
connection information in tomee.xml and we are able to communicate with the
queues without any issues. However, we got sent some Websphere MQ
recommandations and I am currently trying to figure out if the parameters
will be the same as what we would normally set them on a WebSphere server or
if there is something specific. I have tried looking for an answer but found
nothing relevant.

Here is how we defined the queues :

<Resource id="wmqRA" type="com.ibm.mq.connector.ResourceAdapterImpl"
class-name="com.ibm.mq.connector.ResourceAdapterImpl">
connectionConcurrency=5
maxConnections=10
logWriterEnabled=true
reconnectionRetryCount=5
reconnectionRetryInterval=300000
traceEnabled=false
traceLevel=3
</Resource>

<Resource id="jms/CF" type="javax.jms.ConnectionFactory"
class-name="com.ibm.mq.connector.outbound.ManagedConnectionFactoryImpl">
TransactionSupport=xa
ResourceAdapter=wmqRA
HostName= host
Port=1414
QueueManager= qm
Channel= channel
TransportType=Client
SSLCipherSuite=TLS_RSA_WITH_AES_128_CBC_SHA
SSLFipsRequired=false
</Resource>

<Resource id="jms/queue" type="javax.jms.Queue"
class-name="com.ibm.mq.connector.outbound.MQQueueProxy">
arbitraryProperties
baseQueueManagerName=qmName
baseQueueName=qName
CCSID=1208
encoding=NATIVE
expiry=APP
failIfQuiesce=true
persistence=APP
priority=APP
readAheadClosePolicy=ALL
targetClient=JMS
</Resource>

Here are some of the recommandations we received :

In “Connections pools” these values are mandatory:
“Connection Timeout” Set to 30 seconds.
“Maximum Connections” Set to minimum 5. A greater value can be evaluated by
developers.
“Minimum Connections” Set to 0 the minimum connections. To ensure
disconnection.
“Reap time” Set to 30 seconds
“Unused timeout” Set to 300 seconds (5 minutes)
“Aged timeout” Set to 600 seconds (10 minutes)
“Purge Policy” Set to “EntirePool”

In “Session pool” these values are mandatory:
“Connection Timeout” Set to 30 seconds.
“Maximum Connections” Set to minimum 5. A greater value can be evaluated by
developers.
“Minimum Connections” Set to 0 the minimum connections. To ensure
disconnection.
“Reap time” Set to 30 seconds
“Unused timeout” Set to 300 seconds (5 minutes)
“Aged timeout” Set to 600 seconds (10 minutes)
“Purge Policy” Set to “EntirePool

In this situation, will these settings be set at the tomee.xml level or this
must be set in our code? I know that these are settings that can be set
directly in the Websphere console.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Michael

Hi

if you manage to identify which class represents the "connection pool" and
which one the "session pool" then you can use the setters (or constructor)
through tomee resource instantiation mecanism -
http://tomee.apache.org/admin/configuration/resources.html - and
potentially link them between them using a reference ($service - <Service>
- or @resource - <Resource> - from memory)

Do you have a bit more context on the recommendations made - are there
specifically plugged in somewhere, in another app server for example? I
have been looking at a WMQ setup configured in a similar way to yours, but
I'm not seeing those settings on either the resource adapter or the
activation spec.

As Romain says, if we can figure out what class/object those values need to
end up on, we should be able to help you configure it.

These settings were setup on a WAS server. Apparently, these settings are
available directly on the console and are easy to define.

Here is some documentation I have found, I will still try to find the exact
classes that need to be used.
