# General Bridge Destinations: Configuration

Configuration Options Related Tasks Related Topics

Use this page to create a general bridge destination for a non-JMS message provider.

Required attributes for this page include the name of the general bridge destination within the domain, the name of the adapter used to communicate with the specified destination, the adapter CLASSPATH, and a list of properties to pass to the adapter. Optionally, you can also specify a user name and password for each target and source general bridge destination.

#### Configuration Options

Name | Description
--- | ---
Name | The name of this general bridge destination. MBean Attribute: `BridgeDestinationCommonMBean.Name` Changes take effect after you redeploy the module or restart the server.
Adapter JNDI Name | 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. MBean Attribute: `BridgeDestinationCommonMBean.AdapterJNDIName` Changes take effect after you redeploy the module or restart the server.
Adapter 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`. MBean Attribute: `BridgeDestinationCommonMBean.Classpath` Changes take effect after you redeploy the module or restart the server.
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. MBean Attribute: `BridgeDestinationMBean.Properties` Changes take effect after you redeploy the module or restart the server.
User Name | 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. MBean Attribute: `BridgeDestinationMBean.UserName` Changes take effect after you redeploy the module or restart the server.
User Password | 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: Retrieves the value of the `UserPasswordEncrypted` attribute. Decrypts the value and returns the unencrypted password as a String. When you set the value of this attribute, WebLogic Server does the following: Encrypts the value. 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`. MBean Attribute: `BridgeDestinationCommonMBean.UserPassword` Changes take effect after you redeploy the module or restart the server.
Confirm User Password | Confirms the user password that the adapter uses to access the bridge destination.
