I'm currently working on trying to establish what needs to be done to make the ESB work more smoothly with Websphere MQ (WMQ), specifically in relation to working with XA based connections. There's a known issue with WMQ on the ESB when using XA based JMS sessions/connections. With WMQ, you are only allowed have a 1:1 xasession:xaconnection relationship i.e. you're not allowed create more than one XA session/connection. No such restriction exists for non-XA based connections. Our current JmsConnectionPooling code is not able to handle this restriction properly as it assumes the provider supports a 1:n xaconnection:xasession relationship. Now to my first problem... before even trying to address a possible solution for the JmsConnectionPool.... I simply can not get my WMQ setup to produce XA based JMS resources (ConnectionFactory, Connection etc). Not if I kissed it up the *** :) I have tried a number of options at this stage, using both the JBoss and WMQ JMS adapters. I can get them to create non-XA resources no problem, but I cannot get them to create XA based resource. Using the WMQ Adapter Here's the config I tried for the WMQ adapter connection factory (note xa-transaction is set on the factory): | <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> | <connection-factories> | | <tx-connection-factory> | <jndi-name>WMQConnectionFactory</jndi-name> | <xa-transaction></xa-transaction> | <rar-name>wmq.jmsra.rar</rar-name> |

here's the ESB config I'm using with that WMQ Adapter config: | <?xml version = "1.0" encoding = "UTF-8"?> | <jbossesb xmlns="http://anonsvn.labs.jboss.com/labs/jbossesb/trunk/product/etc... |

| <property name="message" value="Message from JMS-ESBListener"/> | </action> | </actions> | | </service> | | </services> | </jbossesb> | Using the JBoss Adapter And here's the config I tried for the JBoss adapter connection factory (again, note xa-transaction is set on the factory): | <connection-factories> | | <mbean code="org.jboss.jms.jndi.JMSProviderLoader" name=":service=JMSProviderLoader,name=WSMQJmsProvider"> | <attribute name="ProviderName">WSMQProvider</attribute> | <attribute

</tx-connection-factory> | | </connection-factories> | And then the ESB config used against this... | <?xml version = "1.0" encoding = "UTF-8"?> | <jbossesb xmlns="http://anonsvn.labs.jboss.com/labs/jbossesb/trunk/product/etc... | parameterReloadSecs="5"> | | <providers> | | <jms-jca-provider name="WMQ-via-JCA" providerAdapterJNDI="java:/WSMQProvider"

I also tried numerous other options, but I think I've given enough here to let people see where I'm at (I hope :)). Here are the notes I took re how I installed WMQ and configured my JBoss AS instance. So... has anyone any idea where I'm going wrong here and why I'm not getting XA based connections out of the WMQ connection factory???
