This quickstart demonstrates the use of external JMS clients with JBoss Enterprise Application Platform 6 or JBoss AS 7.
It contains the following:
-
A message producer that sends messages to a JMS destination deployed to a JBoss Enterprise Application Platform 6 or JBoss AS 7 server.
-
A message consumer that receives message from a JMS destination deployed to a JBoss Enterprise Application Platform 6 or JBoss AS 7 server.
All you need to build this project is Java 6.0 (Java SDK 1.6) or better, Maven 3.0 or better.
The application this project produces is designed to be run on JBoss Enterprise Application Platform 6 or JBoss AS 7.
If you have not yet done so, you must Configure Maven before testing the quickstarts.
This quickstart uses secured management interfaces and requires that you create an application user to access the running application. Instructions to set up the quickstart application user can be found here: Add an Application User
If you are using the JBoss AS 7 Quickstart distribution, the server configuration file already contains the JMS test
queue and you can skip this step.
However, if you are using the JBoss Enterprise Application Platform 6 distribution, you need to add the JMS test
queue to the application server configuration file.
- Open the file: JBOSS_HOME/standalone/configuration/standalone-full.xml
- Add the JMS
test
queue as follows:-
Find the messaging subsystem:
<subsystem xmlns="urn:jboss:domain:messaging:1.1">
-
Scroll to the end of this section and add the following XML after the
</jms-connection-factories>
end tag but before the</hornetq-server>
element:<jms-destinations> <jms-queue name="testQueue"> <entry name="queue/test"/> <entry name="java:jboss/exported/jms/queue/test"/> </jms-queue> <jms-topic name="testTopic"> <entry name="topic/test"/> <entry name="java:jboss/exported/jms/topic/test"/> </jms-topic> </jms-destinations>
-
Save the changes and close the file.
-
-
Open a command line and navigate to the root of the JBoss server directory.
-
The following shows the command line to start the server with the full profile:
For Linux: JBOSS_HOME/bin/standalone.sh -c standalone-full.xml For Windows: JBOSS_HOME\bin\standalone.bat -c standalone-full.xml
To run the quickstart from the command line:
-
Make sure you have started the JBoss server. See the instructions in the previous section.
-
Open a command line and navigate to the root of the helloworld-jms quickstart directory:
cd PATH_TO_QUICKSTARTS/helloworld-jms
-
Type the following command to compile and execute the quickstart:
For JBoss Enterprise Application Platform 6 (Maven user settings NOT configured): mvn clean compile exec:java -s PATH_TO_QUICKSTARTS/example-settings.xml For JBoss AS 7 or JBoss Enterprise Application Platform 6 (Maven user settings configured): mvn clean compile exec:java
If the maven command is successful, with the default configuration you will see output similar to this:

INFO: Received message with content Hello, World!
Note: After the above INFO message, you may see the following error. You can ignore the error as it is a well known error message and does not indicate the maven command was unsuccessful in any way.
Mar 14, 2012 1:38:58 PM org.jboss.naming.remote.protocol.v1.RemoteNamingStoreV1$MessageReceiver handleEnd

The example provides for a certain amount of customization for the mvn:exec
plugin using the system properties.
-
username
This username is used for both the JMS connection and the JNDI look-up. Instructions to set up the quickstart application user can be found here: Add an Application User.
Default:
quickstartUser
-
password
This password is used for both the JMS connection and the JNDI look-up. Instructions to set up the quickstart application user can be found here: Add an Application User
Default:
quickstartPassword
-
connection.factory
The name of the JMS ConnectionFactory you want to use.
Default:
jms/RemoteConnectionFactory
-
destination
The name of the JMS Destination you want to use.
Default:
jms/queue/test
-
message.count
The number of JMS messages you want to produce and consume.
Default:
1
-
message.content
The content of the JMS TextMessage.
Default:
"Hello, World!"
-
jboss.naming.provider.url
This property allows configuration of the JNDI directory used to lookup the JMS destination. This is useful when the client resides on another host.
Default:
"localhost"
You can also start the server and deploy the quickstarts from Eclipse using JBoss tools. For more information, see Use JBoss Developer Studio or Eclipse to Run the Quickstarts
If you want to debug the source code or look at the Javadocs of any library in the project, run either of the following commands to pull them into your local repository. The IDE should then detect them.
mvn dependency:sources
mvn dependency:resolve -Dclassifier=javadoc
