How can I get an existing JMS queue?

I feel like this is probably 开发者_开发技巧a pretty simple question, but this is my first foray into JMS, so I am a little unsure.

I am trying to write to an existing JMS queue (and then read from another queue), for which I know the queue name, host, queue manager, and channel. How do I get a reference to this queue in the form of a javax.jms.Destination object?

All of the examples I have found involve calling javax.jms.Session.createQueue(String), but since this queue already exists, I don't want to create another one, right? Or am I misunderstanding what is going on?

If it matters, I am using the com.ibm.msg.client.jms driver.

Thanks!

Normally, the container in which your application runs will bind the Queue in its naming service. An application in the container can look it up with JNDI and use it.

To add erickson's answer above:

This is an example of getting and browsing a JMS Queue: (using javax.jms-api 2.x)

 // Set up the connection to the queue:
 Properties env = new Properties();
 env.put(Context.INITIAL_CONTEXT_FACTORY, "org.jboss.naming.remote.client.InitialContextFactory");
 env.put(Context.PROVIDER_URL, "http-remoting://<host>:<port>");
 Context namingContext = new InitialContext(env);
 ConnectionFactory connectionFactory = (ConnectionFactory) namingContext.lookup("jms/RemoteConnectionFactory");
 JMSContext context = connectionFactory.createContext("jms_user", "pwd");

 // Get the JMS Queue:
 Queue queue = (Queue) namingContext.lookup("jms/queue/exampleQueue");
 // Create the JMS Browser:
 QueueBrowser browser = context.createBrowser(queue);
 // Browse the messages:
 Enumeration<Message> e = browser.getEnumeration();
 while (e.hasMoreElements()) {
     Message message = (Message) e.nextElement();
     log.debug(message.getBody(String.class) + " with priority: " + message.getJMSPriority());
 }
...
