MQ Series, Messaging Bridge, weblogic 7.0

Question

          Hi all,
          I have seen other postings about this with some clues as to why I am having this
          problem, but I still can't seem to resolve. I have already tried to gleen some
          clues from the documentation that comes with the beta bridge to be used with 6.1
          (wls_mqseries.pdf). Has anyone configure Weblogic 7.0 successfully with the new
          Messaging Bridge? If so, could you summarize your steps and settings?
          I used the JMSAdmin tool to bind the factory and queue objects and setup the destinations
          on the WLS console, but the log keeps spitting out the following:
          <Jul 26, 2002 11:28:21 AM EDT> <Warning> <Connector> <190032> << Weblogic Messag

          seconds. (javax.resource.spi.ResourceAllocationException: CreateManagedConnecti

          I can only tell that at startup, WLS is trying to establish a connection. Question:
          Connection to what? I haven't specified an MQ Series host or Queue Manager name
          anywhere yet.
          Thanks for your help,

Answer 1

          Tom,
          Thanks. The white paper seemed to have the info I needed.
          Now I just need to figure out why the lookup of the MQ objects return javax.naming.Reference
          rather than the actual object. I do have the ibm jar files in the classpath.
          Thanks,
          Mike
