Configure Message bridge in Weblogic server(SOA Suite)

Message Bridge is a forwarding mechanism which help us in forwarding message through a bridge from source to destination.A much better definition along with diagram you can find in the following location



In this exercise we will see how we can create a message bridge to forward message from queue in one domain to queue in other domain.

for this Exercise you need essentially two domain.

Let suppose the two domains are DomainA and DomainB

We will create JMS Server,JMS Module,Subdeployment,JMS connection factory and JMS queue in both the domains.

Then in one of the domain we will create a Source and destination JMS Bridge destination and will create a bridge to forward the message from Source to Target destination.

In my set up i have two domain

DomainA has admin server running in 7777 and SOA_server running in 8888 port

DomainB has admin server running in 7001 and SOA_server running ins 8001 port

Now go to domainB and start doing the configuration

First of all i will create a JMS Server



Target it to the soa server



Create JMS Module



Target it to server



Create Sub Deployment



Target it to the JMS SErver you have created earlier.



create connection factory



Target to subdeployment




Create Queue



Target it to SubDeployment



Similarly for the other node we will do the similar configuration

Create JMS Server




Create JMS Module





Create SubDeployment



Create Connection factory



Create Queue





Create a Bridge Destination on First node
Source Bridge Destination will be basically using the connection factory and queue of the server where you are doing the configuration



Provide details for source bridge



Similarly configure Target bridge destination



Now Configure a Bridge



Select source destination



select message provider for source



Choose target destination



Choose message provider for destination also



Target it to your managed server



finish the wizard and restart both the managed server in two domains.



Now once you restart the server.Go again to your Bridge -->Monitoring tab and verify the bridge is active and is forwarding the message as shown below.






If this is not active that means you have done some misconfiguration.Or it has not started properly.Go to Bridge General tab and unselect started button save it and again click on start and save,It will ask you to restart the server.Restart and check if it is now active.



So now all your configuration are complete.

Now just create a outbopund connection pool to connect to the local queue

Create a simple process in jdeveloper or if you are good in java create a java program to insert some data in local queue of domain A.

Test this.

As soon as you will pass the data it will pass from the source queue to the destination queue in other domain.This worked fine at my end let me know if you have issue in the same.
