Description

Use Case:

A standalone ActiveMQ broker is integrated with a Java EE 6 server (e.g. JBoss AS 7.1, GlassFish 3.1) via activemq-rar-5.7.0.rar.

Admin objects corresponding to queues or topics are created at server level, assigning a JNDI name in addition to the physical destination name.

MDBs are used to handle incoming messages from ActiveMQ destinations. The destination is specified by

@ActivationConfigProperty(propertyName = "destination", propertyValue = "physical-destination-name")

Problem:

The physical destination name is now hard-coded in the application. Thus, it is not possible to deploy the unchanged application in a different runtime environment where the given destination has a different physical name.

Possible solution:

Create a new activation config property named "destinationJndiName". If this property is set, the destination is supposed to be registered in JNDI with the name given by the property value. When this property is set, both "destinationType" and "destination" are not required.
