SP5 Messaging Bridge Problem

Question

Hi,
          I've set up a messaging bridge between 2 Weblogic 8.1 SP5 boxes, and am getting the following generic error when it's trying to connect to the target. I've got bridge debugging on.
          I've tried all the usual suspects: XA enabled connection factories, disabled certificate generation and set certificate to the same thing for both servers, disable guest is unchecked, connectors are deployed, etc.
          This error message is useless...anyone have any ideas?

Answer 1

The bridge just does a basic JNDI lookup, and there's nowhere to put additional parameters. However, you can do this using a "Foreign JMS Server".
          Create a "Foreign JMS Server" either using the console, or by putting a ForeignJMSServer entry in config.xml. There is a "JNDI Properties" field, where you can specify your security credentials in name/value form (you'll need the values of those JNDI constants, which are "javax.jndi.something.something", not SECURITY_PRINCIPAL and SECURITY_CREDENTIALS.)
          Then, have the bridge look up the "Local JNDI Name" from the Foreign JMS bean rather than the remote TIBCO JNDI object. (You do this by removing all the JNDI parameters from the bridge destination so that it uses the local JNDI provider, not the TIBCO JNDI provider.)
          Essentially, by doing this, the Foreign JMS code in WLS is going to delegate the JNDI lookup to the TIBCO provider using all the JNDI parameters you specify, including security.
