COM client?

[franktv]

Hello all!

Has anyone implemented an ActiveX COM client for JBossMQ? If no, is there anyone out there who could point me in the right direction as to how this might be possible?

See Active JMS at http://active-jms.sourceforge.net

It would be greate if someone here could get that to work for JBossMQ or at least report back why it does not work.

As the developer on Active JMS I can speak to that... I tried to get it up and running with JBossMQ, but I had the hardest time getting JBossMQ built and running. I thought I was a smart guy too. After finally getting it built, I couldn’t find enough documentation to figure out what the JNDI properties should be, so I chalked it up to product immaturity and gave up.

I'm preparing for the 1.0 release of Active JMS, and I'd like to have JBossMQ on the list. I'm planning on trying again, hopefully with better luck this time.

Hi, interesting work you are doing. I do not use Windows myself, so I can't test it.

First: use a JBoss dist: JBossMQ is allways there and allways work.

Second: I think JMS in JBoss is now pretty well documented in the JBoss manual (hey I wrote it ;-))

Third: If it don't work, pleas ask.

Well since you asked...

Things look much better today then they did back in July when I first tried this with JBossMQ! Here is the first problem I've run into. Active JMS is reporting a NameNotFoundException because it cannot find testQueue (the exact exception is testQueue is not bound. I also tried A, and B etc. as they seemed to be defined in the jboss.jcml file. Additionally, what jar files are required to access just JBossMQ?

Here are the properties I'm using:
java.naming.factory.initial=org.jnp.interfaces.NamingContextFactory
java.naming.provider.url=localhost:1099
java.naming.factory.url.pkgs=org.jboss.naming

I looking up QueueConnectionFactory as my ConnectionFactory

Thanks for your help!

Hi, pleas take a couple of minutes and read the manual chapter on JMS.

http://www.jboss.org/documentation/HTML/ch08.html

Here you will find all your possible settings:

http://www.jboss.org/documentation/HTML/ch08s07.html

Basically:

JNDI for testQueue: "queue/testQueue"
JNDI for a Topic/QueueConnectionFactpory: "ConnectionFactory".

Jars (2.4.1):
client/jbossmq-client.jar

client/jnp-client.jar

client/jta-spec1_0_1.jar

client/jboss-j2ee.jar

lib/ext/oswego-concurrent.jar

client/log4j.jar]

God luck.

Good deal! JBossMQ will be supported for the 1.0 release of Active JMS. I have successfully tested it, and all works well.

Great! That basically mean that you can send and subsribe to JBossMQ from a windows non java environment, as ASP for example?

Yes, that is correct... ASP, Visual Basic, C++, Powerbuilder, Delphi, Active Scripting languages, Python... any Win32 environment that supports COM.
