Using MessagingBridge for WLS6.1-SP3 and MQSeries 5.2

Question

          I am trying to use the MessagingBridge with MQSeries 5.2.
          I have an MDB to consume messages from MQSeries queue. I created
          the MesageingBridge with source (being the MQS queue) and target
          (being WLS queue) but the bridge never channeled the messages from
          MQSeries source queue to WLS destination queue.
          Here are segments from config.xml:
          <JMSServer Name="JMSServer" Targets="myserver">
          <JMSQueue JNDIName="MQ_TARGET_QUEUE" Name="MQS Target Queue" StoreEnabled="default"/>
          </JMSServer>
          <JMSBridgeDestination
          Classpath="c:\MQSeries\ma88\samples\base;c:\MQSeries\ma88\lib\com.ibm.mq.jar;c:\MQSeries\ma88\lib\com.ibm.mqjms.jar;c:\MQSeries\ma88\lib\jms.jar;c:\MQSeries\ma88\lib\jndi.jar;c:\MQSeries\ma88\lib\fscontext.jar;c:\MQSeries\ma88\lib\providerutil.jar;c:\MQSeries\ma88\lib\connector.jar"
          ConnectionFactoryJNDIName="MQSeriesQueueManager"
          ConnectionURL="t3://127.0.0.1:7001"
          DestinationJNDIName="NotifMsgQueue" Name="MQSSourceDestination"/>
          <JMSBridgeDestination
          ConnectionFactoryJNDIName="WLSMQS_Connection_Factory"
          ConnectionURL="t3://127.0.0.1:7001"
          DestinationJNDIName="MQ_TARGET_QUEUE" Name="WLSTargetDestination"/>
          <MessagingBridge AsyncEnabled="true" DurabilityEnabled="true"
          Name="MQSeries Messaging Bridge" QOSDegradationAllowed="false"
          QualityOfService="Duplicate-okay"
          SourceDestination="MQS Source Destination" Started="true"
          TargetDestination="WLSTargetDestination" Targets="myserver"/>
          <StartupClass
          Arguments="QManager=QM_de8u5p,QMJNDIName=MQSeriesQueueManager,QManagerHost=127.0.0.1,
          QManagerPort=1414,NotificationsQueue=AppNotifQueue,NQJNDIName=NotifMsgQueue"
          ClassName="com.wbiex.MQSeriesStartup" FailureIsFatal="false"
          Name="MQSeriesStartup" Targets="myserver"/>
          Note: The MDB was able to access and consume messages off the MQSeries NotifMsgQueue
          queue
          without the bridge .
          Thank you very much for your help.

First of all, CR081414_61sp3.jar is not supposed to be put in
          the CLASSPATH. It contains the adapter files you need to
          run the bridge. You don't need it anyway because CR081511_61sp3.jar
          contains the newer version of the adapter files. You need to put
          CR081414_61sp3.jar to your WLS CLASSPATH, and also extract the a
          adapter files (*.rar) and put them in the directory where your
          config.xml gets the adapters for deployment.
          Did you put all necessary MWSeries stuff in the WLS CLASSPATH
          and PATH. I am sure you have done something there to make
          your startup class work. Just make sure you have all of them.
          Them are listed in "Using Foreign JMS Providers with WebLogic Server".
          By the way, what is the error you got? Did you look at the server
          log?
          You can also turn on bridge debugging.
          -Dweblogic.Debug.DebugMessagingBridgeStartup=true
          -Dweblogic.Debug.DebugMessagignBridgeRuntime=true
          Debugging information will show up in the server log by default.
