aq-jndi

JNDI provider für Oracle AQ

Problem

When using Oracle AQ inside a standard JEE environment you need to lookup a javax.jms.ConnectionFactory instance via JNDI but the Java client for Oracle AQ is not providing a JNDI compliant factory class.

Solution

This is a simple wrapper class that provides for JNDI lookup of an AQ ConnectionFactory. This is done using Java reflection mechanism in order to be independent of proprietary Oracle JARs.

Usage within Tomcat

Add to Tomcat's server.xml a new resource element.

Using direct JDBC access to Oracle AQ:

	 <Resource auth="Container" 
	    name="jms/AQConnectionFactory" 
	    type="oracle.jms.AQjmsConnectionFactory" 
	    description="JMS Connection Factory" 
	    factory="com.artofarc.eai.aq.AQObjectFactory"
	    jdbcURL="jdbc:oracle:thin:user/passwd@localhost:1521:xe"/> 

You can also use it via DataSource:

	 <Resource auth="Container" 
	    name="jms/AQConnectionFactory" 
	    type="oracle.jms.AQjmsConnectionFactory" 
	    description="JMS Connection Factory" 
	    factory="com.artofarc.eai.aq.AQObjectFactory"
	    dataSource="java:/jdbc/OracleDB-With-AQ"/> 

Important: You need to configure the DataSource via Oracle's UCP - the internal Tomcat JDBC Connection Pool does not work.
