JMS with WL9.2

Question

Hello,
          I have two java programs. One publishes the JMS message & other receives JMS message.
          I'm executing these with Weblogic 9.2
          My program to publish the message is some thing like this
          tconFactory = (TopicConnectionFactory)(ctx.lookup(JMS_FACTORY));
          tcon = tconFactory.createTopicConnection("weblogic","weblogic");
          tsession = tcon.createTopicSession(false, Session.AUTO_ACKNOWLEDGE);
          // topic = (Topic) ctx.lookup(topicName);
          topic = topicSession.createTopic(TOPIC);
          tpublisher = tsession.createPublisher(topic);
          msg = tsession.createTextMessage();
          tcon.start();
          And WLS 9.2 configuration is
          AdminServer (admin)
          JMS FileStore
               FILEStore
          JMS Server
               JMSServer with persistence as FILEStore.
          JMS Module
               Destinations
          JMS Module Sub-deployments
               subadminServer with target on AdminServer
               subjmsServer with target on JMSServer
          JMS Module Resources -
               1 Topic with target on subjmsServer
               TOPIC NAME - RequestTopic
               JNDI- ReqTopic
          ISSUE
          If i use JNDI to look up the topic it works
          Ex: topic = (Topic)ctx.lookup(ReqTopic)
          If I use 'createTopic()' api, I get the exception
          Ex: topic = topicSession.createTopic(JMSServer/RequestTopic);
          I mean, If application gets the topic name through JNDI look up, it works correctly.
          Where as, if it tries to create using 'createTopic()' api
          through topic session, It gets following exception.

          However 'createTopic()' api works with weblogic 8.1 versions.
          Please advice me if i'm missing any configuration with 9.2 version here.
          Thanks

Answer 1

The following describes the expected destination name for a createQueue/createTopic method.
          "If the destination name does not contain a "/" character then it must be the name of a distributed destination that is available in the cluster to which the client is attached. If it does contain a "/" character then the string before the "/" must be the name of a JMSServer or a ".". The string after the "/" is the name of a the desired destination. If the "./" version of the string is used then any destination with the given name on the local WLS server will be returned.
          So the name passed into createTopic() method for your case should be "JMSServer/RequestTopic", or "./RequestTopic".
