For my personal OSB playground i use a Virtual Machine with Oracle Linux. When recently working on an OSB project with JMS i was looking for a tool enabling me to send messages to a JMS Queue or Topic. After i failed to get Hermes JMS working properly i tried QBrowser light. Although there were no proper unix scripts supplied to start QBrowser, it was quite easy to write one my own based on the batch files. I got QBrowser working after correcting all version numbers of the jar files in the QB_CLASS_PATH to the current version of my installation. Since i did have no intention to validate the version numbers of the jar files for each configuration i have, i made a little script which automatically detects the installed com.bea.core.* jar files, adds them to the QB_CLASS_PATH and starts QBrowser.

Copy and paste the ksh-script below to a file name run_wls_mq.ksh in the root of your QBrowser application directory. Change the variable WL_HOME to the location where WebLogic Server is installed, and you are ready to start QBrowser.

#!/bin/ksh

# Objective: Start QBrowser Light for WLS

  # Add fully qualified filename to QB_CLASS_PATH
  if [[ -f ${locmodule} ]]
  then
    QB_CLASS_PATH=${QB_CLASS_PATH}:${locmodule}
  else
    echo "[ERROR] Could not locate jar file ${module}"
    classLoadingError=true
  fi 

done
if [[ $classLoadingError != true ]]
then
  export QB_CLASS_PATH
