Overview

The RMI connector enables OpenJMS clients to connect to the OpenJMS server using RMI.

Using the RMI connector

To connect to an OpenJMS server running on the local host, using the default RMI configuration, construct an InitialContext as follows:

    Hashtable properties = new Hashtable();
    properties.put(Context.INITIAL_CONTEXT_FACTORY, 
                   "org.exolab.jms.jndi.InitialContextFactory");
    properties.put(Context.PROVIDER_URL, "rmi://localhost:1099/");
    Context context = new InitialContext(properties);
        

The JNDI Context.PROVIDER_URL property above, has the format:

"rmi://<registry-host>:<registry-port>/"
        

Where:

• registry-host specifies the host that the RMI registry is running on.
• registry-port specifies the port that the RMI registry is listening on.

By default, the OpenJMS server is configured to use an embedded RMI registry. Under this configuration, registry-host will be the host that the OpenJMS server is running on.

Administration using the RMI connector

To administer an OpenJMS server running on the local host, using the default RMI configuration, construct a JmsAdminServerIfc as follows:

    String url = "rmi://localhost:1099/";
    JmsAdminServerIfc admin = AdminConnectionFactory.create(url);
        

The URL argument has the same format as the Context.PROVIDER_URL described in Using the RMI connector
