ConnectionFactory not bound error

[srjg75]

1) I have been trying to use a standalone JMS sender.

import javax.jms.*;
import javax.naming.*;

public class MessageToQueue
{
public static void main(String[] args)
throws NamingException,JMSException
{
InitialContext ctx;
QueueConnectionFactory cf;
QueueConnection connection;
QueueSession session;
Queue destination;
QueueSender sender;
TextMessage message;
ctx = new InitialContext();
cf = (QueueConnectionFactory)ctx.lookup("java:/QueueConnectionFactory");
System.out.println("1");
destination = (Queue)ctx.lookup("queue/testQueue");
System.out.println("2");
connection = cf.createQueueConnection();
System.out.println("3");
session = connection.createQueueSession(false,Session.AUTO_ACKNOWLEDGE);
System.out.println("4");
sender = session.createSender(destination);
System.out.println("5");
message = session.createTextMessage();
System.out.println("6");
message.setText("Hello World!");

System.out.println("Sending Message.");
sender.send(message);

connection.close();
System.out.println("Done.");

}
}

2) I have the following in the JNDI properties in C:\jboss-4.0.3SP1\server\default\conf:

java.naming.factory.initial=org.jnp.interfaces.NamingContextFactory
java.naming.factory.url.pkgs=org.jboss.naming:org.jnp.interfaces
java.naming.provider.url=jnp://localhost:1099

3) I have the following in the jboss-service.xml in
C:\jboss-4.0.3SP1\server\default\conf:

<!-- The listening port for the bootstrap JNP service. Set this to -1
to run the NamingService without the JNP invoker listening port.
-->
1099


4) JBOSS server is on port 8080. Started the server

5) Executed this in command "java MessageSender"
Got this error:
Exception in thread "main" javax.naming.NameNotFoundException: QueueConnectionFactory not bound

Could you let me know what is the exact problem? Thanks

I don't have an JBoss system available at the moment, but
JNDi-names with prefix "java:/" are normally used if you have an resource-ref in your ejb-jar.xml. Take a look at jmx-console -> JNDI view to see what's available.
We simply use "QueueConnectionFactory" as JNDI name in our code.

Thanks. I got the problem solved. I had to set up hsqldb jbdc service to make it work. I went through the JMS concepts on the JBOSS site, but could find anywhere the concept of having hsql or any other database for running JMS (MDB) etc. I then gathered from the hsqldb-jdbc3-service.xml that it is trying to create a database/table.

Are the messages in the queues actually persisted in a database? I do understand the need of persistance of the transactions and subsequently a need for a database, but am not sure since this is not mentioned in any of the JMS conceptual articles. Am I missing the point here?
