Answer:
You must create a template on every JMSServer where you want to be able to create temporary destinations. You can specify multiple JMSServer entries to support TemporaryTemplate and the system will load balance among those JMS servers to setup the temporary destination. See How do I start WLS and configure JMS? for a description about how to configure JMS. The resulting template definition looks something like the following:
<JMSTemplate Name="MyTemplate"/>
The JMSServer is defined something like:
<JMSServer Name="MyJMSServer" TemporaryTemplate="MyTemplate" Targets="MyServer" >
After the template name, you can set any queue/topic attribute you want in the template (not including a JNDI name or topic multicast settings). The template is at the outer most level; that is, it should not be nested in your <JMSServer>.
Temporary destinations can only be consumed by the creating connection. Using topics, you create your temporary topic and subscribe to that temporary topic. If you want someone to publish to that temporary topic, you need to tell that someone what your topic is. You can send them a message and include your temporary topic in the JMSReplyTo field. The creator of the TemporaryTopic and the subscriber must be one in the same.
import javax.jms.TopicSession;
TemporaryTopic myTopic = mySession.createTemporaryTopic();
TopicSubscriber = mySession.createSubscriber(myTopic);
Temporary topics do not get names and cannot be subscribed to by other connections. When you create a temporary topic, the JMS provider returns a javax.jms.Topic. You then need to advertise that topic to other parties (those who want to publish to the topic), putting it in your JMSReplyTo field so that they can respond. In general, no one else can subscribe to the topic. You advertise the topic any way you want. Topics are serializable (or, in our case, externalizable), which allows you to pass them around in RMI calls, through a file, binding it to a name in JNDI, etc. In short, create the topic at the subscriber side and advertise so that others can publish. You can get multiple subscribers on the same connection and get concurrent processing using multiple sessions.
