JMS bridge between Weblogic and MQ series example

Some Advantages of having a JMS bridge between Weblogic and MQ series listener is even though the destination application is down, bridge will manage the messages by its built in capacity.

• Bridge has capacity of retry, transaction management.
• When destination application has some downtime bridge will cache the messages and re-send it when the destination application comes up.
• It will automatically detect start/stop of destination application.
• It is guaranteed delivery pattern

21. select Messaging provider : Other JMS
22. click next
23. myserver should be checked
24. click next

    Now bridge is created and deployed to Weblogic
26. Add following jars into Weblogic CLASSPATH
    slf4j-api-1.6.4.jar
