Permanent topic namespace [Settings]

A topic namespace is a grouping of topics that allows information to be shared between applications.

To view this pane in the console, click one of the following paths:

  • Service integration > Web services > WS-Notification services > [Content Pane] service_name > Permanent topic namespaces > [Content Pane] namespace_name
  • Service integration > Buses > [Content Pane] bus_name > [Services] WS-Notification services > [Content Pane] service_name > Permanent topic namespaces > [Content Pane] namespace_name

You use a permanent topic namespace to statically define the association between a WS-Notification topic namespace URI and a service integration bus topic space destination.

A permanent topic namespace has the following characteristics:
  • It enables you to expose an existing service integration bus topic space for use by WS-Notification clients, thus permitting interoperation between the WS-Notification applications and existing publish and subscribe applications connected to the Bus such as JMS.
  • It allows you to restrict the structure and content of the topic namespace by applying one or more topic namespace documents that describe the required structure.
  • It allows the topic namespace to be used as part of a topic space mapping configured on a service integration bus link (between two service integration buses) or a topic mapping as part of a publish and subscribe bridge between a service integration bus and a WebSphere MQ network.

When you create a new permanent WS-Notification topic namespace, you specify the namespace and associate it with one of the service integration bus topic spaces configured on the bus on which the parent WS-Notification service is defined. You cannot modify a permanent topic namespace after it has been created, other than to apply or remove topic namespace documents.

General properties

Namespace

The URI string by which this topic namespace is known.

That is, the namespace URI by which WS-Notification applications refer to topics hosted by this namespace. For example http://widgetproducer.com/prices.
Required Yes
Data type Text

Service integration bus topic space

The service integration bus topic space with which this namespace is associated.

That is, the bus topic space that is used by this topic namespace.
Required Yes
Data type Custom

Message reliability

The service integration bus reliability to apply to messages published to this topic namespace.

Required Yes
Data type Selection list
Range
Assured persistent
Messages are not discarded.

Reliable persistent
Messages may be discarded when a messaging engine fails.

Reliable non-persistent
Messages are discarded when a messaging engine stops or fails.

Express non-persistent
Messages are discarded when a messaging engine stops or fails. Messages may also be discarded if a connection used to send them becomes unavailable.

Best effort non-persistent
Messages are discarded when a messaging engine stops or fails. Messages may also be discarded if a connection used to send them becomes unavailable and as a result of constrained system resources.
