Using webLogic web server and the IBM MQ resource adapter.

Ive documented the steps I took to configure webLogic to use the IBM MQ Resource Adapter, so I could use connection pools and avoid 1 million MQCONNs a day.
The document grew and grew, and I found it easiest to create a PDF document, here.

The document covers

  • Getting the IBM Resource Adapter from IBM
  • Adding the webLogic specific file into the Resource Adapter.
  • Deploying the resource adapter
  • Adding additional configurations to the Resource Adapter
  • Changing your MDB deployment to use the Resource Adapter instead of native JMS
  • How  you tell if a connnectionFactory is using the Resource Adapter and not native JMS.

I provide a sample weblogic-ra file to get you started.
