How does a message bridge relate to a queue in Weblogic?

Question

We have been discussing this at work and now I am even more confused than ever. As far as I understand it a message bridge is used to talk to a queue in a different domain. Is this correct?

Answer 1

From the Weblogic documentation:

The WebLogic Messaging Bridge is a forwarding mechanism that provides interoperability between WebLogic JMS implementations, and between JMS and other messaging products. Use the Messaging Bridge to integrate your messaging applications between:

• Any two implementations of WebLogic JMS, including those from separate releases of WebLogic Server.
• WebLogic JMS implementations that reside in separate WebLogic domains.
• WebLogic JMS and a third-party JMS product (for example, MQSeries).

So transferring messages between a queue in one domain and a queue in another is an example of one possible use of a message bridge. The source and destination for your bridge can be queues, topics, or distributed destinations.
