Get JMS Factory from MBean ??

Question

I am using JMSDestinationRuntime MBean to get back a list of queues and then use the QueueBrowser to peek at the messages in the queues.
          I want to make this generic, so am wondering if there is any way in which i can get the JMSFactory name of each queue from the MBean, such that i can do the following:
          qconFactory = (QueueConnectionFactory) ctx.lookup(jmsFactory);
          qcon = qconFactory.createQueueConnection();
          qsession = qcon.createQueueSession(false, Session.AUTO_ACKNOWLEDGE);
          //queue = (Queue) ctx.lookup(queueName);
          queue = qsession.createQueue("eri01JMSServer/K12MyOrgJMSQueue_eri01");
          qbrowser = qsession.createBrowser(queue);
          qcon.start();
          Thanks,
          Sam

You can look up jms connection factory JNDI names via the associated configuration mbeans (instead of the runtime mbeans). Alternatively, you could simply use one of the default built-in connection factory names - as you probably don't need to use a custom connection factory simply for browsing a destination.
          Another alternative is to use WebLogic 9.0 and later, which provides runtime mbeans for browsing the destinations (no JMS API involved - just JMX). These mbeans are more powerful than the queuebrowser, as the mbeans are capable of viewing all messages in the destination (including "unborn" scheduled messages for example).
