We are working on an IBM WebSphere MQ application, and we use JMS API to operate the message. But we have a problem that the connection takes too much time, and we want to pool the JMS connection, for it's a standalone application, we have no application container to provide JNDI or pooling service. So is there a solution to resolve this? For JDBC we can use DBCP or c3p0 to archive pooling datasource, in JMS, is there any similar project that can pool JMS connections?
It used to be that the JMS MQConnectionFactory had pooling built in, but it seems that in version 7, it has been removed.
Set the use of ConnectionPooling in earlier versions of the WebSphere
MQ classes for JMS. This method is retained for compatibility with
older MQJMS applications, but, because this Connection Pooling
functionality has been removed from version 7, setting this property
will have no effect.
In the absence of anything else, you can use Apache Commons Pool. Same idea as DBCP (which uses Pool) but for non JDBC objects.
Spring's CachingConnectionFactory works well for this use case.
This answer in https://stackoverflow.com/a/31119435/1765341 explains how to do this in Tomcat, but the code there can easily be adapted for Java standalone applications. This should be much easier (and less error prone) than writing an Apache Commons Pool implementation.

I am new to JMS.
I am little aware of RabbitMq and now trying to find the difference in rabbitMQ with JMS. How it is used and why it should be used?
Thanks in advance.
JMS is a Java API (part of JEE).
JMS Vendors use a proprietary protocol to talk to the broker; they are not wire-compatible.
You can generally talk to any JMS broker by just changing vendor-specific configuration (connection factory etc).
Vendors provide a JMS client library to talk to their brokers.
AMQP is a wire protocol, not an API.
Vendors provide a Java client API.
You can use Spring AMQP, which sits on top of RabbitMQ's amqp-client library and its API.
You can use Spring JMS, which talks to any JMS broker (including RabbitMQ with the plugin) using the JMS API.
If you need to be compatible with any JMS vendor, use spring-jms; if you only intend to use RabbitMQ, I would recommend using Spring AMQP.
Or, use Spring Integration on top of either one, and you can switch between AMQP and JMS by just changing configuration.
I'm not sure what you mean by RabbitMQ for JMS. But, i'll list out the differences below.
RabbitMQ
Works on AMQP protocol and it is not a J2EE specification
Applications written in several languages can produce and consume messages(Python, Ruby, Java, C#, Perl etc.,)
Does not work with J2EE specs, so you cannot use XA Transactions, bean pools, connection factory pools which are all provided by J2EE container by default
Community is not so mature, but, if your organization needs to communicate with a lot of different types and languages of applications you can sacrifice all the beautiful features that are provided by J2EE/JMS spec.
JMS
It is J2EE specification, any application server that provides JMS support should follow the guidelines mentioned in the spec.
Only the Java/J2EE applications can produce and consume, it can be made to work for other languages but with use of adapters
J2EE container provides XA Transaction, Bean pooling, Connection pooling etc., out of the box with little configuration at your end.
If your organization only uses Java based applications, you need not look in RabbitMQ way as you have JMS support which works well.
I'd like to add XA connection pool to my Spring based application, specifically Oracle UCP. This pool works on XADataSource and XAConnection objects. Standard DataSource.getConnection(...) methods are not supported.
Trying working with that pool (that I am able to successfully set up in Spring) I am getting an error related to the fact that getConnection(...) methods invoked by JdbcTemplate are disabled and should not be used. I am just wondering whether any of Spring JDBC classes are able to work with XADataSource and XAConnections? Probably there are another ways to use Spring with XA connection pools? Will appreciate any advices on that topic.
Just for those who may experience similar problems - Spring doesn't support directly XA connection pools (through native XADataSource.getXAConnection(...) methods). You need to write a kind of wrapper utilizing DatSource.getConnection(...) methods.
I have application working on Jboss eap 6.3 and Hornetq queue for jms. I have to change queue from hornetq to OracleAQ. Is there any ready resource-adapter to connect it or I have to write new one for my own? I will be gratefull for any tips how can i achieve that. Thanks in advance.
As far as I know, Oracle AQ's administered JMS objects (e.g. connection factories and destinations) must be looked up via a database connection (or perhaps LDAP) rather than JNDI. Nothing shipped with JBoss EAP can do this.
I propose to check with Oracle for information regarding a JCA resource adapter that they might provide for integration with other Java EE application servers like JBoss EAP.
What's the difference between MysqlConnectionPoolDataSource and C3p0, BoneCP or dbcp library for connection pooling? I don't understand why use a library if mysql connector give connection pooling.
A ConnectionPoolDataSource is not a connection pool (or at least: it shouldn't be), it is intended to be used by a DataSource that provides pooling (eg from an application server). A ConnectionPoolDataSource provides the physical connections that will be held in the connection pool. Besides creating those physical connections a ConnectionPoolDataSource shouldn't do anything else.
So if you are working in an application server, use the pooling provided by the DataSources of the application server. If you are in a standalone application or a server that doesn't provide datasources on its own, use third party connection pools like BoneCP, c3p0 or Apache DBCP. If MySQL also provides a normal DataSource that provides pooling, then you could use that.
I am fairly to new to JMS configuration in JMS.
Here is what i am trying to do.
We have multile JVMs of our applications in a single weblogic domain. We want to have JMS server installed on say one JVM and rest of the JVMs refer to the first JMS Server.
So, the configuration is:
JVM1: JMS Server is installed
JVM2: JMS Module installed
Now I need to configure JVM2 to talk to JMS server on JVM1. How do i do that?
This is on weblogic 11g
I suggest going through the basics of WebLogic 11 JMS configuration and then taking a look into this good guide from Oracle documentation. I know there is a lot of info over there, but in the long run it is better to know what you are doing rather than just copying someone else's configurations.
