Tibco BusinessWorks 6.x integration with Solace

kvramkumar

Hi, I learnt from the link (https://docs.solace.com/Developer-Tools/Integration-Guides/Solace-JMS-Integration-TIBCO-ActiveMatrix-BusinessWorks.pdf) that Solace can be integrated with Tibco BusinessWorks 5.x. But not able to find any materials on how to integrate Solace with Tibco BusinessWorks 6.x. Is there a way to integrate BW 6.x to Solace?

I'm not aware of anyone getting it to work. Yeah, BW5 no problem, but they really changed things around a lot for 6... if I remember, adding a custom JMS provider is a lot harder..? But in theory, it should work.

Maybe we'll hear something more positive from someone who knows better..?

To connect to Solace you need to create a JNDI connection as a first step.
When you connect the JNDI connection it will create a custom jms provider where you need to define the default Jndi details
"com.solacesystems.jndi.SolJNDIInitialContextFactory"
Also you need to add the few properties as a prerequisite for the JMS connection to work.
Attaching JNDI and JMS resources for reference.

Also ensure the requisite Solace JAR files are there in the ext class path and the lib folder of the custom jms provider plugin.

@Skini which version of BW did you test with? I couldn't get it working, but this was about 3 years ago.

Hi Aaron,
This was tested with the trial version of BWCE.

Hi Skini,

Thanks for the steps. I am able to connect to the Solace instance at design time. But at runtime (running in BusinessStudio) it complains that the "javax.jms.JMSException: No JNDI implementations available".

I have added the jars in lib folder and also added them to ext classpath, but still getting the same error.

In debug console below log is printed:

Can you please help me in identifying the issue if I am missing any steps?

Thanks and regards,

Hi Ram,
Did you enable/check the JNDI plugin while running the application in debug mode. You will have to check it explicitly while running the app. Can you try that once and let me know.

Hi Skini,

Thanks for your directions. I am able to connect and send messages now.

Thanks and regards,
Ram.
