# BridgeDestinationMBean

Overview | Related MBeans | Attributes | Operations

## Overview

This MBean represents a bridge destination for non-JMS messaging products. Each messaging bridge instance consists of the following destination types:

- Source: The message producing destination. A bridge instance consumes messages from the source destination.

- Target: The destination where a bridge instance forwards messages produced by the source destination.

Note:

Although WebLogic JMS includes a "General Bridge Destination" framework for accessing non-JMS messaging products, WebLogic Server does not provide supported adapters for such products. Therefore, you need to obtain a custom adapter from a third-party OEM vendor or contact BEA Professional Services.

Deprecated. 9.0.0.0 Replaced with nothing (upgrade to JMSBridgeDestination if it maps to a JMS destination).

## Attributes

This section describes the following attributes:

AdapterJNDIName Classpath Name Notes Parent Properties | Type UserName UserPassword UserPasswordEncrypted

### AdapterJNDIName

The JNDI name of the adapter used to communicate with the specified destination.

This name is specified in the adapter's deployment descriptor file and is used by the WebLogic Server Connector container to bind the adapter in WebLogic Server JNDI.

Privileges | Read/Write
Type | java.lang.String
Default Value | eis.jms.WLSConnectionFactoryJNDIXA

### Classpath

The `CLASSPATH` of the bridge destination.

- Used mainly to connect to another release of WebLogic Server.

- When connecting to a destination that is running on WebLogic Server 6.0 or earlier, the bridge destination must supply a `CLASSPATH` that indicates the locations of the classes for the earlier WebLogic Server implementation.

- When connecting to a third-party JMS product, the bridge destination must supply the product's `CLASSPATH` in the WebLogic Server `CLASSPATH`.

Privileges | Read/Write
Type | java.lang.String

### Name

The user-specified name of this MBean instance.

This name is included as one of the key properties in the MBean's `javax.management.ObjectName`:
`Name=user-specified-name`

Privileges | Read/Write
Type | java.lang.String

### Notes

Optional information that you can include to describe this configuration.

WebLogic Sever saves this note in the domain's configuration file (`config.xml`) as XML PCDATA. All left angle brackets (<) are converted to the XML entity `&lt;`. Carriage returns/line feeds are preserved.

Note:

  If you create or edit a note from the Administration Console, the Administration Console does not preserve carriage returns/line feeds.

Privileges | Read/Write
Type | java.lang.String

### Parent

Return the immediate parent for this MBean

Privileges | Read/Write
Type |

### Properties

Specifies all the properties of the bridge destination. The destination properties are string values that must be separated by a semicolon (;).

The following properties are required for all JMS implementations:

`ConnectionURL=`

  The URL used to establish a connection to the destination.

`ConnectionFactoryJNDIName=`

  The JNDI name of the JMS connection factory used to create a connection for the actual destination being mapped to the general bridge destination.

`DestinationJNDIName=`

  The JNDI name of the actual destination being mapped to the general bridge destination.

`DestinationType=`

  Specifies whether the destination type is either a Queue or Topic.

`InitialContextFactory=`

  The factory used to get the JNDI context.

Privileges | Read/Write
Type | java.util.Properties

### Type

Returns the type of the MBean.

Privileges | Read only
Type | java.lang.String
Redeploy or Restart required | Changes take effect after you redeploy the module or restart the server.

### UserName

The optional user name the adapter uses to access the bridge destination.

All operations on the specified destination are done using this user name and the corresponding password. Therefore, the User Name/Password for the source and target destinations must have permission to the access the underlying destinations in order for the messaging bridge to work.

Privileges | Read/Write
Type | java.lang.String

### UserPassword

The user password that the adapter uses to access the bridge destination.

As of 8.1 sp4, when you get the value of this attribute, WebLogic Server does the following:

1. Retrieves the value of the `UserPasswordEncrypted` attribute.

2. Decrypts the value and returns the unencrypted password as a String.

When you set the value of this attribute, WebLogic Server does the following:

1. Encrypts the value.

2. Sets the value of the `UserPasswordEncrypted` attribute to the encrypted value.

Using this attribute (`UserPassword`) is a potential security risk because the String object (which contains the unencrypted password) remains in the JVM's memory until garbage collection removes it and the memory is reallocated. Depending on how memory is allocated in the JVM, a significant amount of time could pass before this unencrypted data is removed from memory.

Instead of using this attribute, use `UserPasswordEncrypted`.

For more information, see:

- getUserPasswordEncrypted

Privileges | Read/Write
Type | java.lang.String
Encrypted | true

### UserPasswordEncrypted

The encrypted user password that the adapter uses to access the bridge destination.

To set this attribute, use `weblogic.management.EncryptionHelper.encrypt()` to encrypt the value. Then set this attribute to the output of the encrypt() method.

To compare a password that a user enters with the encrypted value of this attribute, go to the same WebLogic Server instance that you used to set and encrypt this attribute and use `weblogic.management.EncryptionHelper.encrypt()` to encrypt the user-supplied password. Then compare the encrypted values.

For more information, see:

- weblogic.management.EncryptionHelper

Privileges | Read/Write
Type | byte[]
Encrypted | true

## Operations

This section describes the following operations:

freezeCurrentValue isSet restoreDefaultValue | unSet

### freezeCurrentValue

If the specified attribute has not been set explicitly, and if the attribute has a default value, this operation forces the MBean to persist the default value.

Unless you use this operation, the default value is not saved and is subject to change if you update to a newer release of WebLogic Server. Invoking this operation isolates this MBean from the effects of such changes.

Note:

  To insure that you are freezing the default value, invoke the `restoreDefaultValue` operation before you invoke this.

This operation has no effect if you invoke it on an attribute that does not provide a default value or on an attribute for which some other value has been set.

Deprecated. 9.0.0.0

Operation Name | `"freezeCurrentValue"`
Parameters | `Object [] { attributeName }` where: `attributeName` is an object of type `java.lang.String` that specifies: attributeName
Signature | `String [] { "java.lang.String" }`
Returns | `void`
Exceptions | `javax.management.AttributeNotFoundException` `javax.management.MBeanException`

### isSet

Returns true if the specified attribute has been set explicitly in this MBean instance.

Operation Name | `"isSet"`
Parameters | `Object [] { propertyName }` where: `propertyName` is an object of type `java.lang.String` that specifies: property to check
Signature | `String [] { "java.lang.String" }`
Returns | `boolean`

### restoreDefaultValue

If the specified attribute has a default value, this operation removes any value that has been set explicitly and causes the attribute to use the default value.

Default values are subject to change if you update to a newer release of WebLogic Server. To prevent the value from changing if you update to a newer release, invoke the `freezeCurrentValue` operation.

This operation has no effect if you invoke it on an attribute that does not provide a default value or on an attribute that is already using the default.

Deprecated. 9.0.0.0

Operation Name | `"restoreDefaultValue"`
Parameters | `Object [] { attributeName }` where: `attributeName` is an object of type `java.lang.String` that specifies: attributeName
Signature | `String [] { "java.lang.String" }`
Returns | `void`
Exceptions | `javax.management.AttributeNotFoundException`

### unSet

Restore the given property to its default value.

Operation Name | `"unSet"`
Parameters | `Object [] { propertyName }` where: `propertyName` is an object of type `java.lang.String` that specifies: property to restore
Signature | `String [] { "java.lang.String" }`
Returns | `void`
