Standard JMS transport configuration in CXF is done by defining a JMSConduit or JMSDestination. There is however an easier configuration option more conformant to Spring dependency injection. Additionally the new configuration offers many more options. For example it is not necessary anymore to use JNDI to resolve the connection factory. Instead it can be defined in the Spring configuration.

The following example configs use the p-namespace from spring 2.5 but the old spring bean style is also possible.

Inside a features element the JMSConfigFeature can be defined.

<jaxws:client id="CustomerService"
    xmlns:customer="http://customerservice.example.com/"
    serviceName="customer:CustomerServiceService"
    endpointName="customer:CustomerServiceEndpoint" address="jms://"
    serviceClass="com.example.customerservice.CustomerService">
    <jaxws:features>
        <bean xmlns="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans"
            class="org.apache.cxf.transport.jms.JMSConfigFeature"
            p:jmsConfig-ref="jmsConfig"/>
    </jaxws:features>
</jaxws:client>

In the above example it references a bean "jmsConfig" where the whole configuration for the JMS transport can be done.

A jaxws Endpoint can be defined in the same way:

<jaxws:endpoint
    xmlns:customer="http://customerservice.example.com/"
    id="CustomerService"
    address="jms://"
    serviceName="customer:CustomerServiceService"
    endpointName="customer:CustomerServiceEndpoint"
    implementor="com.example.customerservice.impl.CustomerServiceImpl">
    <jaxws:features>
        <bean class="org.apache.cxf.transport.jms.JMSConfigFeature"
            p:jmsConfig-ref="jmsConfig" />
    </jaxws:features>
</jaxws:endpoint>

The JMSConfiguration bean needs at least a reference to a connection factory and a target destination.

<bean id="jmsConfig" class="org.apache.cxf.transport.jms.JMSConfiguration"
    p:connectionFactory-ref="jmsConnectionFactory"
    p:targetDestination="test.cxf.jmstransport.queue"
/>

If your ConnectionFactory does not cache connections you should wrap it in a spring SingleConnectionFactory. This is necessary because the JMS Transport creates a new connection for each message and the SingleConnectionFactory is needed to cache this connection.

<bean id="jmsConnectionFactory" class="org.springframework.jms.connection.SingleConnectionFactory">
    <property name="targetConnectionFactory">
        <bean class="org.apache.activemq.ActiveMQConnectionFactory">
            <property name="brokerURL" value="tcp://localhost:61616" />
        </bean>
    </property>
</bean>

Using JMSConfiguration from Java

To do this from Java, you need to initialize a JMSConfiguration object, then store a reference to it in a JMSConfigFeature, and then add that to the features in the server factory. The code that follows is fragmentary. Note that you can't use query parameters in the endpoint URI that you set in the server factory, all the configuration has to be in the JMSConfiguration object.

public static JMSConfiguration newJMSConfiguration(String taskId, String jmsBrokerUrl) {
        String destinationUri = "jms:queue:" + taskId;
        JMSConfiguration conf = new JMSConfiguration();
        conf.setRequestURI(destinationUri);
        JNDIConfiguration jndiConfig = new JNDIConfiguration();
        JndiTemplate jt = new JndiTemplate();
        Properties env = new Properties();
        env.put(Context.PROVIDER_URL, jmsBrokerUrl);
        env.put(Context.INITIAL_CONTEXT_FACTORY, "org.apache.activemq.jndi.ActiveMQInitialContextFactory");
        jt.setEnvironment(env);
        jndiConfig.setJndiConnectionFactoryName("ConnectionFactory");
        jndiConfig.setEnvironment(env);
        conf.setJndiTemplate(jt);
        conf.setTargetDestination("com.basistech.jug." + taskId);
        conf.setJndiConfig(jndiConfig);
        conf.setTimeToLive(0);
        return conf;
}
{
        JMSConfigFeature jmsConfigFeature = new JMSConfigFeature();
        JMSConfiguration jmsConfig = JmsUtils.newJMSConfiguration(taskId, jmsBrokerUrl);
        jmsConfig.setConcurrentConsumers(maxServiceThreads);
        jmsConfig.setMaxConcurrentConsumers(maxServiceThreads);
        jmsConfigFeature.setJmsConfig(jmsConfig);
        svrFactory.getFeatures().add(jmsConfigFeature);
        svrFactory.getFeatures().add(jmsConfigFeature);
 
        server = svrFactory.create();
}

JMSConfiguration options

Name

Description

connectionFactory

Mandatory field. Reference to a bean that defines a jms ConnectionFactory. Remember to wrap the connectionFactory like described above when not using a pooling ConnectionFactory

wrapInSingleConnectionFactory

This option was removed since CXF 3.0.0. Will wrap the connectionFactory with a Spring SingleConnectionFactory, which can improve the performance of the jms transport. Default is true.

reconnectOnException

(deprecated) If wrapping the connectionFactory with a Spring SingleConnectionFactory and reconnectOnException is true, will create a new connection if there is an exception thrown, otherwise will not try to reconnect if the there is an exception thrown. Default is false. From CXF 3.0.0, CXF always reconnect on exceptions

targetDestination

JNDI name or provider specific name of a destination. Example for ActiveMQ:
test.cxf.jmstransport.queue

destinationResolver

Reference to a Spring DestinationResolver. This allows to define how destination names are resolved to jms Destinations. By default a DynamicDestinationResolver is used. It resolves destinations using the jms providers features. If you reference a JndiDestinationResolver you can resolve the destination names using JNDI.

transactionManager

Reference to a spring transaction manager. This allows to take part in JTA Transactions with your webservice.  You can also register a spring JMS Transaction Manager to have local transactions.

taskExecutor

This option was removed since CXF 3.0.0. Reference to a spring TaskExecutor. This is used in listeners to decide how to handle incoming messages. Default is a spring SimpleAsyncTaskExecutor.

useJms11

This option was removed since CXF 3.0.0.

true means JMS 1.1 features are used
false means only JMS 1.0.2 features are used. Default is false.

messageIdEnabled

Default is true. This option was removed since CXF 3.0.0.

messageTimestampEnabled

Default is true. This option was removed since CXF 3.0.0.

cacheLevel

This option was removed since CXF 3.0.0.

Specify the level of caching that the JMS listener container is allowed to apply.
Please check out the java doc of the org.springframework.jms.listenerDefaultMessageListenerContainer for more information. Default is -1.

pubSubNoLocal

If true, do not receive your own messages when using topics. Default is false.

receiveTimeout

How many milliseconds to wait for response messages. 0 (default) means wait indefinitely. since CXF 3.0, the default value is changed to 60000 (60 seconds)

explicitQosEnabled

If true, means that QoS parameters are set for each message. Default is false.

deliveryMode

NON_PERSISTENT = 1 messages will be kept only in memory

PERSISTENT = 2 (default)  messages will be persisted to disk

priority

Priority for the messages. Default is 4. See your JMS provider doc for details

timeToLive

After this time the message will be discarded by the jms provider (default 0).

sessionTransacted

If true, means JMS transactions are used. (Default is false).   In 2.7.x you will also need to register a JMS Transaction Manager with JMSConfiguration in order for transactions to be enabled.

concurrentConsumers

Number of concurrent consumers for listener (default 1).

maxConcurrentConsumers

This option was removed since CXF 3.0.0. Maximum number of concurrent consumers for listener (default 1).

maxConcurrentTasks

This option was removed since CXF 3.0.0. (deprecated) Maximum number of threads that handle the received requests (Default 10).

messageSelector

jms selector to filter incoming messages (allows to share a queue)

subscriptionDurable

Default false.

durableSubscriptionName

 

messageType

text (default)
binary
byte

pubSubDomain

false (default) means use queues
true means use topics

jmsProviderTibcoEms

true means that the jms provider is Tibco EMS. Default is false. Currently this activates that the principal in the SecurityContext is populated from the header JMS_TIBCO_SENDER. (available from cxf version 2.2.6)

maxSuspendedContinuations

Since CXF 3.0.0, The max suspended continuations that the JMS destination could have, if the current suspended continuations number exceeds the max value, the JMSListenerContainer will be stopped. The default value is -1, which means disable this feature.

reconnectPercentOfMax

Since CXF 3.0.0, If the JMSListenerContainer is stopped due to the current suspended continuation exceeds the max value, the JMSListenerContainer will be restarted when the current suspended continuation below the value of (maxSuspendedContinuations*reconnectPercentOfMax/100). The default value is 70.
createSecurityContext

(Since 2.7.14, 3.0.3) true (default) means create user security context for incoming messages.

propogateExceptions(Since 2.7.15) 2.7.x only true (default) means that any exceptions occurring while processing the incoming message will be propagated.  This setting is only relevant when a transaction manager and sessionTransacted are set.
