BEA Weblogic Interview Question:

Why did the messaging bridge fail to connect to the source bridge destination?

Submitted by: Administrator

Either an error occurred when configuring the source bridge destination parameters, or the actual source destination is not running and cannot communicate with the messaging bridge.

* Verify whether the bridge's source destination is correctly configured, by making sure that the following fields on the JMS Bridge Destination -> Configuration -> General console page have been properly completed:

o Connection URL-this must be the URL of the JNDI provider used to look up the connection factory and actual destination.
o Destination JNDI Name-this must be the JNDI name of the actual destination mapped to the source bridge destination.
o Connection Factory JNDI Name-this must be the connection factory used to create a connection for the actual destination mapped to the source bridge destination.
o User Name/Password-make sure that this user ID has permission to access the actual source destination.
* Verify that the actual source queue or topic destination mapped to the source bridge destination is running and healthy, as follows:
o Is the WebLogic Server instance hosting the source destination running?
o Is the JMS server hosting the source destination correctly deployed?

Note: This troubleshooting scenario for correcting a source bridge destination connection failure also applies to target bridge destinations.
