Setting up the JMS Sender

To enable the JMS transport sender, un-comment the following configuration in <ESB_HOME>/repository/conf/axis2/axis2.xml file.  

Code Block
languagehtml/xml
<transportSender name="jms" class="org.apache.axis2.transport.jms.JMSSender"/>


Info
For details on the JMS configuration parameters used in the code segments above, see JMS Connection Factory Parameters.

...

  1. Configure the ESB to work with one ActiveMQ broker as described above.
  2.  Start another ActiveMQ instance.
  3.  Add another transport receiver to the <ESB_Home>/repository/conf/axis2/axis2.xml file as follows. Note that the name of the transport receiver is different to that of the transport receiver already entered. The port specified is 61617.

    Code Block

Configuring Redelivery ActiveMQ Queues

...

When WSO2 ESB is configured to consume messages from an ActiveMQ queue, you have the option to configure message re-delivery. This is useful when messages are unable to be processed by ESB due to failures.   

  1. Enable the JMS listener as explained in Setting up the JMS listener.
  2. Add the following JMS parameters into the proxy service configuration in WSO2 ESB:

    Code Block
    languagexml
    <parameter name="redeliveryPolicy.maximumRedeliveries">1</parameter>
    <parameter name="transport.jms.DestinationType">queue</parameter>
    <parameter name="transport.jms.SessionTransacted">true</parameter>
    <parameter name="transport.jms.Destination">JMStoHTTPStockQuoteProxy</parameter>
    <parameter name="redeliveryPolicy.redeliveryDelay">2000</parameter>
    <parameter name="transport.jms.CacheLevel">consumer</parameter>

    Parameters

 

    • redeliveryPolicy.maximumRedeliveries: Maximum number of retries for delivering the message. If set to -1 ActiveMQ will retry inifinitely.
    • transport.jms.SessionTransacted: When set to true, this enables the JMS session transaction for the proxy service.
    • redeliveryPolicy.redeliveryDelay: Delay time in milliseconds between retries.
    • transport.jms

...

 

...

    • .CacheLevel: This needs to be set to consumer for the ActiveMQ redelivery mechanism to work.
  1. Add the following line in your fault sequence:

    <property name="SET_ROLLBACK_ONLY" value="true" scope="axis2"/>
    Info
    titleSET_ROLLBACK_ONLY
    This parameter must be defined for ActiveMQ to redeliver the message.
    When ESB is unable to deliver a message to the back-end service due to an error, it will be routed to the fault sequence in the ESB configuration. When "SET_ROLLBACK_ONLY" property is set in the fault sequence, ESB informs ActiveMQ to redeliver the message. 


    Below is a sample proxy service configuration:

...

Code Block

       name="JMStoHTTPStockQuoteProxy"

         <property name="sourceMessageID"
