Adding listener ports to a WebSphere Application Sever v5.x

Listener ports are used by message-driven beans associated with the port to retrieve messages. They simplify administration of the association between a connection factory, JMS destination, and deployed message-driven bean. When a message arrives at the destination, the listener passes the message to a new instance of a message-driven bean for processing.

Note: Listener ports can only be added to a WebSphere v5.x test environment or server. To add a listener port,...

1. In the Servers view, double-click the WebSphere Application Server v5.x to open it. The server editor opens.

2. Click the EJB tab at the bottom of the editor.

3. Click the Add button beside the Listener ports list table. The Add Listener Port dialog box opens.

4. In the dialog box, fill in the values for the listener port. Some default values are provided for some properties such as maximum messages and maximum retries. Other values may be selected from drop-down lists, where items have already been created, such as connection factory JNDI name, and destination JNDI name. For more information about any of the fields on this dialog box, select the field and then press F1. Click OK.

5. Save your changes and close the editor.
