As you can see, the Edit JMS connection wizard contains eight text areas that must be filled by: Name, Initial context factory class (fully qualified name of the factory class creating the initial context), Libraries, URL, Connection factory JNDI name (implements javax.jms.ConnectionFactory interface), Destination JNDI (implements javax.jms.Destination interface), User, Password (password to receive and/or produce the messages).

(You can also open this wizard when selecting some JMS connection item in the Outline pane and pressing Enter.)

Figure 34.1. Edit JMS Connection Wizard

In the Edit JMS connection wizard, you must specify the name of the connection, select necessary libraries (you can add them by clicking the plus button), specify Initial context factory class (fully qualified name of the factory class creating the initial context), URL of the connection, Connection factory JNDI name (implements javax.jms.ConnectionFactory interface), Destination JNDI name (implements javax.jms.Destination interface), your authentication username (User) and your authentication password (Password). You can also decide whether you want to encrypt this authentication password. This can be done by checking the Encrypt password checkbox. If you are creating the external (shared) JMS connection, you must select a filename for this external (shared) JMS connection and its location.
