Local fix

Problem summary

  • ****************************************************************
    USERS AFFECTED:
    Users of the MQ classes for JMS, who are using Topic objects
    which have specified the property:
    
      BROKERPUBQMGR
    
    with a value which contains an asterisk character ('*'), or
    specifying a value directory by calling the the method:
    
    
    com.ibm.mq.jms.MQTopic.setBrokerPubQueueManager(java.lang.String
     qmgrName);
    
    where 'qmgrName' is a String which contains an asterisk
    character, for example the String:
    
      "*myQmgrs"
    
    
    This includes setting a value on the MQTopic definition in a
    WebSphere Application Server JNDI, as set in the Administration
    Console using the path:
    
      Resources -> JMS -> Topics -> [select MQTopic]
    
    and setting a String with an asterisk character in the field
    labelled:
    
      "Broker publication queue manager"
    
    
    Platforms affected:
    MultiPlatform
    
    ****************************************************************
    PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:
    When properties of objects are set, such as by invoking the
    setter methods such as:
    
    
    com.ibm.mq.jms.MQTopic.setBrokerPubQueueManager(java.lang.String
     qmgrName);
    
    or by when a JNDI stored resource is used to build a
    corresponding object, the MQ classes for JMS check the validity
    of the values being set on the properties.
    
    For example, for a queue name, the length of the provided queue
    name is compared with the maximum allowed length for a queue
    name in MQ (48 characters), and if it exceeds it the MQ classes
    for JMS throws an exception, and fails to construct the object.
    
    
    For a Topic, the MQ classes for JMS provides a property which is
    used to configure the name of the queue manager that owns the
    queue where messages published on the topic are sent to, which
    is known as:
    
    JMS administration tool long name:  BROKERPUBQMGR
    JMS administration tool short name: BPQM
    Setter method:
    com.ibm.mq.jms.MQTopic.setBrokerPubQueueManager(java.lang.String
     qmgrName)
    
    For the MQ v8.0 release, the String value provided was being
    validated with a pattern which did not allow an asterisk
    character '*'.  Since queue manager names may contain a asterisk
    where a CCDT is being used, this String validation was failing
    if the application/JNDI has a asterisk in the value.
    

Problem conclusion

  • The MQ classes for JMS has been updated such that the validator
    for the BROKERPUBQMGR property now permits an asterisk character
    again for the value, as it did prior to the MQ v8.0 release.
