Problems with Geronimo and MQ resource Adapter

Hi there,

Apologies for the large pasted text in this message, not sure if this is
the right way to do this......

I am having great difficulty getting WebSphere MQ and Geronimo to play
nicely together. I think I have also spotted a defect/bug.

I have tried two methods of settingup the Resource Adapter for WebSphere
MQ:

1) deployment plan and wmq.jmsra.rar

I have a deployment plan as follows:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<connector xmlns="http://geronimo.apache.org/xml/ns/j2ee/connector-1.2">
 <dep:environment
xmlns:dep="http://geronimo.apache.org/xml/ns/deployment-1.2">

 </dep:environment>

   <resourceadapter-name>test</resourceadapter-name>
    <nam:workmanager
xmlns:nam="http://geronimo.apache.org/xml/ns/naming-1.2">
    <nam:gbean-link>DefaultWorkManager</nam:gbean-link>
    </nam:workmanager>
   </resourceadapter-instance>

       <single-pool>
        <match-one/>
       </single-pool>
      </connectionmanager>
     </connectiondefinition-instance>
    </connection-definition>
   </outbound-resourceadapter>
  </resourceadapter>
  <adminobject>
   <adminobject-interface>javax.jms.Queue</adminobject-interface>

<adminobject-class>com.ibm.mq.connector.outbound.MQQueueProxy</adminobject-class>

    <config-property-setting

   </adminobject-instance>

   <adminobject-interface>javax.jms.Topic</adminobject-interface>

<adminobject-class>com.ibm.mq.connector.outbound.MQTopicProxy</adminobject-class>
  </adminobject>
</connector>

If I try and deploy the wmq.jmsra.rar with this plan I get an
org.apache.geronimo.gbean.InvalidConfigurationException error, with a
helpful text output of "did not start for an unknown reason".

Interestingly if I use an incorrect port, or an incorrect queue manager
name, Geronimo will return claim to have successfully deployed the RA,
but in the console will spit out error messages about the queue manager
being unavailable, or queue manager name wrong.




The second method was to install the wmq.jmsra.rar into the Geronimo
repository, and then manually add the Connection Factory and the
destination objects, however it seems that the 'wizard' ignores some of
the properties I specify for the ConnectionFactory (it only output the
hostName and channel properties, but not the queueManager or port. So I
cannot use the wizard to create the required setup (even though it
claims success. I believe this to be a bug, would this be a Geronimo
defect, or something to raise with WebSphere MQ?

Am I going mad, or doing something drastically wrong? Google does not
throw and leads that have proved useful so far.....

Thanks

Are you able to get MQ resource adapter to work in Geronimo. I've not had any
luck so far.

Re: Problems with Geronimo and MQ resource Adapter

Posted by David Jencks <da...@yahoo.com>.
Hi Rich,

Something is odd about the rar you are using.  Are you sure it  
supports XA transactions?  One of the following happened:

ManagedConnection.getXAResource() returned null which would be a clue  
that XA is not supported -- if XA is supported then this should never  
return null.  From the rest of the stack trace I think this is the  
scenario you are in.

ResourceAdapter.getXAResources(new ActivationSpec[0]) returned an  
array with a null in it.  This seems highly implausible.

We could provide an error at a more informative point here when we  
first (don't) get the xa resource.

thanks
david jencks
