Working with JNDI Providers
Each JMS provider can store JMS administered objects in a standardize namespace called the Java Naming and Directory Interface (JNDI). JNDI is a Java API that provides naming and directory functionality to Java applications.
As the JMS client, Integration Server uses a JNDI provider alias to encapsulate the information needed to look up an administered object. When you create a JMS connection alias, you can specify the JNDI provider alias that Integration Server should use to look up administered objects (i.e., Connection Factories and Destinations).
Note: If you connect directly to
webMethods Broker using the native
webMethods API, you do not need to use a JNDI provider. If you choose to use
webMethods Broker but do not want to connect natively (using the native
webMethods API), you still need to use a JNDI provider. For more information about using the native
webMethods API to connect to
webMethods Broker, see
Connecting to webMethods Broker with the Native webMethods API.
