Change JMS settings with Glassfish and Spring - spring

Question

In our project we use Glassfish v3.1.2.2 with a ConnectionFactory bound as "jms/ConnectionFactory" and a Queue bound as "jms/Queue". Both are created in the glassfish admin console:
The Spring config is implemented this way:
#Bean
public JndiTemplate jndiTemplate() {
JndiTemplate jndiTemplate = new JndiTemplate();
Properties props = new Properties();
props.setProperty("java.naming.factory.initial", "com.sun.enterprise.naming.SerialInitContextFactory");
props.setProperty("java.naming.factory.url.pkgs", "com.sun.enterprise.naming");
props.setProperty("java.naming.factory.state", "com.sun.corba.ee.impl.presentation.rmi.JNDIStateFactoryImpl");
props.setProperty("org.omg.CORBA.ORBInitialHost", "localhost");
props.setProperty("org.omg.CORBA.ORBInitialPort", "3700");
jndiTemplate.setEnvironment(props);
return jndiTemplate;
}
#Bean
public JndiObjectFactoryBean connectionFactory() {
JndiObjectFactoryBean connectionFactory = new JndiObjectFactoryBean();
connectionFactory.setJndiTemplate(jndiTemplate());
connectionFactory.setJndiName("jms/ConnectionFactory");
return connectionFactory;
}
#Bean
public TransactionAwareConnectionFactoryProxy connectionFactoryProxy() {
return new TransactionAwareConnectionFactoryProxy((ConnectionFactory) connectionFactory().getObject());
}
#Bean
public JndiObjectFactoryBean destination() {
JndiObjectFactoryBean jndiObjectFactoryBean = new JndiObjectFactoryBean();
jndiObjectFactoryBean.setJndiTemplate(jndiTemplate());
jndiObjectFactoryBean.setJndiName("jms/Queue");
return jndiObjectFactoryBean;
}
#Bean
public JmsTemplate jmsTemplate() {
JmsTemplate jmsTemplate = new JmsTemplate();
jmsTemplate.setConnectionFactory((ConnectionFactory) connectionFactory().getObject());
jmsTemplate.setDefaultDestination((Destination) destination().getObject());
return jmsTemplate;
}
#Bean
public DefaultMessageListenerContainer simpleMessageListenerContainer() {
DefaultMessageListenerContainer listenerContainer = new DefaultMessageListenerContainer();
listenerContainer.setConnectionFactory(connectionFactoryProxy());
listenerContainer.setDestination((Destination) destination().getObject());
listenerContainer.setMessageListener(messageDispatcher);
listenerContainer.setSessionTransacted(true);
listenerContainer.setTransactionManager(jtaTransactionManager());
return listenerContainer;
}
Everything works fine so far, message will be sent to and consumed from the queue without any problems. Rolling back messages wit a RuntimeException works, too.
The problem is, how to change some fundamental settings, like RedeliveryAttempts or RedeliveryInterval from the Activation Spec. I cant find any solution to change this with Spring only with MDB. Is there a way to do this in Glassfishs admin console or in Spring configuration? Did I have to use some different implementation or is it not possible over all?
Hope anybody can help.
Thanks in advance,
Danny

Answer 1

Through some trial and error I found the following, which works on Glassfish 4.
#Bean
public JmsTemplate jmsTemplate() {
JmsTemplate jmsTemplate = new JmsTemplate();
jmsTemplate.setPubSubDomain(true); //may be necessary if using topic
jmsTemplate.setDefaultDestinationName("topicname");
jmsTemplate.setConnectionFactory(connectionFactory());
return jmsTemplate;
}
#Bean
public ConnectionFactory connectionFactory() {
try {
JndiObjectFactoryBean jndiFactory = new JndiObjectFactoryBean();
jndiFactory.setJndiName("jms/ConnectionFactory");
jndiFactory.setResourceRef(true); //adds java:comp/env/ prefix
jndiFactory.afterPropertiesSet(); //very important, actually causes the object to be loaded
return (ConnectionFactory) jndiFactory.getObject();
} catch (IllegalArgumentException | NamingException e) {
throw new RuntimeException(e);
}
}
