18 Using the WebLogic Messaging Bridge
18-12 Administration Guide
Configuring a Messaging Bridge Instance
A messaging bridge instance communicates with the configured source and target
bridge destinations. For each mapping of a source bridge destination to a target bridge
destination, whether it is another WebLogic JMS implementation, a third-party JMS
provider, or another non-JMS messaging product, you must configure a
MessagingBridge instance via the Administration Console. Each MessagingBridge
instance defines the source and target destination for the mapping, a message filtering
selector, a QOS, transaction semantics, and various reconnection parameters.
Before starting the procedure in this section, refer to the “Using the Messaging Bridge
to Interoperate with Different WebLogic Server Versions and Domains” on page
18-18 or “Bridging to a Third-Party Messaging Provider” on page 18-23 for specific
configuration requirements and guidelines.
To configure a messaging bridge, follow these steps:
1. In the Administration Console, click the Messaging Bridge node.
2. Click the Bridges node to open the Bridges tab in the right pane.
3. Click the Configure a new Messaging Bridge link in the right pane. A
Configuration dialog displays in the right pane showing the tabs associated with
configuring a new messaging bridge.
4. Define the attributes in the General tab.
The following table describes the attributes you set on the General tab.
Table 18-4 Messaging Bridge Attributes on the General Tab
Attribute Description
Name Enter a name for the messaging bridge that is unique across a
WebLogic domain.
Source Destination Select the source destination from which messages are received
by the messaging bridge. For example, for a JMS messaging
bridge, you should select the “JMS Source Bridge Destination”
name that you created on the JMS Bridge Destination →
Configuration tab.
