Chapter 7. Implementing Destination Resolving Logic

You can provide logic that allows your JMS endpoints to resolve destinations at run time. This is done by providing an implementation of the DestinationChooser interface or the DestinationResolver interface.

Using a Custom Destination Chooser
Using a Custom Destination Resolver

It may not always be appropraite to hard code destinations into application. Instead you may want to allow the endpoints to dynamically discover the JMS destinations. The FUSE ESB JMS binding component provides two mechanisms for endpoints to dynamically discover destinations.

destination choosers

Destination choosers are specific to the FUSE ESB JMS binding component. They are the first mechanism used by an endpoint when it trys to pick a JMS destination.

Destination choosers implement the org.apache.servicemix.jms.endpoints.DestinationChooser interface.

destination resolvers

Destination resolvers are part of the Spring JMS framework. They are used when the JMS destination is specified using a string. This can happen if either the destination chooser returns a string or if the endpoint's destination is configured using the destinationName attribute.

Destination resolvers implement the org.springframework.jms.support.destination.DestinationResolver interface.
