Administering listener ports

Use the following tasks to administer listener ports, which each define the association between a connection factory, a destination, and a message-driven bean.

Overview

You can use the WebSphere Application Server administrative console to administer listener ports, as described in the following tasks.

Note: If configured as enabled, a listener port is started automatically when a message-driven bean associated with that port is installed. You do not normally need to start or stop a listener port manually.

Procedure

• Adding a new listener port Use this task to create a new listener port, to specify a new association between a connection factory, a destination, and a message-driven bean. This enables deployed message-driven beans associated with the port to retrieve messages from the destination.

• Configuring a listener port Use this task to browse or change the configuration properties of a listener port.

• Starting a listener port Use this task to start a listener port manually.

• Stopping a listener port Use this task to stop a listener port manually.
