Using Spring boot JMS to send and receive messages over IBM MQ

Question

Following instructions provided in https://developer.ibm.com/tutorials/mq-jms-application-development-with-spring-boot/, I developed a sample Spring boot web application in order to be able to send and receive messages over IBM MQ using JMS template.

In case of a MQ server not on local host, I updated the application.properties file with:

ibm.mq.conn-name=<my-server-host-name>(<my-server-port>)

Unfortunately this is not the appropriate property as the application is searching for a queue manager on localhost. I did not find in the documentation anything about the property to use for that. And yes, I gave a try to ibm.mq.host and ibm.mq.port.

For IBM config you need to provide the following properties:

Yml extension:

  ibm:
    mq:
      queueManager: {queueManagerName}
      channel: {channelName}
      connName: localhost(1415)
      user: {UserName}

property extension:

ibm.mq.queueManager={queueManagerName}
ibm.mq.channel={channelName}
ibm.mq.connName=localhost(1415)
ibm.mq.user={userName}

connName you can find in the Listener directory: In my case IP address is equal: localhost Port is equal: 1415

channelName you can find in Channels directory.
