MDPs with Weblogic

[wpoitras]

I've read various articles/blogs using Jencks/ActiveMQ to do message driven POJOs. Is it possible to do this with Weblogic? Or is there a piece missing in Weblogic that prevents you from using it in this fashion?

Jencks works with any JCA 1.5 Resource Adapter; so providing you can find the class in WebLogic for the RA it should just work. You should also be able to inject into Jencks the transaction manager & thread pools from WL too

Isn't Weblogic a JCA container?

[jstrachan]

Yes.

The missing piece is WL doesn't have a MDP container; which is what Jencks does. Jencks uses dependency injection though; so you should be able to inject as little (e.g. just the WL ResourceAdapter) or as much (the entire JCA container & Transaction Manager) as you require.
