Customizing the JNDI name(s) of the JBoss 5.1 ConnectionFactory

Customizing the JNDI name(s) of the JBoss 5.1 ConnectionFactory takes the following steps:

- Change or add the binding name(s) in the [server]/deploy/messaging/connection-factories-service.xml file:

   
      jboss.messaging:service=ServerPeer
      jboss.messaging:service=Connector,transport=bisocket
      jboss.messaging:service=PostOffice

      
         
            /ConnectionFactory
            /XAConnectionFactory
            java:/ConnectionFactory
            java:/XAConnectionFactory
            /YOUR_JNDI_NAME_HERE
         
      
  

Same goes for the clustered connection factory (defined in the same file just under the other one).

- Only if necessary (i.e. changed in the above) adjust the corresponding reference in the JMS datasource file ([server]/deploy/messaging/jms-ds.xml, this is the original file referencing the standard java:/XAConnectionFactory reference):

   
      DefaultJMSProvider
      org.jboss.jms.jndi.JNDIProviderAdapter
      java:/XAConnectionFactory
      java:/XAConnectionFactory
      java:/XAConnectionFactory
   

Now you can use whatever name you want to bind the connection factory to from within your application!
