Jboss MQ ConnectionFactory being returned null

[prashantsehgal]

Hi,

My connection factory is setup in my Jboss 4.0.4 server like this:

<tx-connection-factory>
<jndi-name>jms/queue/ControlConnectionFactory</jndi-name>
<use-java-context>false</use-java-context>
<xa-transaction/>
<rar-name>jms-ra.rar</rar-name>
<connection-definition>org.jboss.resource.adapter.jms.JmsConnectionFactory</connection-definition>
<config-property name="SessionDefaultType" type="java.lang.String">javax.jms.Topic</config-property>
<config-property name="JmsProviderAdapterJNDI" type="java.lang.String">java:/DefaultJMSProvider</config-property>
<max-pool-size>100</max-pool-size>
</tx-connection-factory>

I'm accessing this from outside of Jboss, using a stand alone client with from it's main method like so:

public void initializeListener ()
{
 String url = "lonrs03004:1099";
 Properties props = new Properties();
 props.setProperty("java.naming.factory.initial","org.jnp.interfaces.NamingContextFactory");
 props.setProperty("java.naming.factory.url.pkgs", "org.jboss.naming");
 props.setProperty("java.naming.provider.url", url);

 try {
 Context ctx = new InitialContext(props);
 QueueConnectionFactory qConFactory =
 (QueueConnectionFactory) ctx.lookup("jms/queue/ControlConnectionFactory");

 if(qConFactory == null) {
 System.out.println("qConFactory is null ");
 System.exit(0);
 }
}

The connection factory is being returned as null. I read somewhere that this might be because my connection factory is setup using jboss-ra and in such cases standalone clients cant access connection factories. One needs to access them from inside the server.

a) Is this correct?
b) If I want to retain my stand-alone client, how should I setup my connection factories?

Thanks,
Prashant.

Also, if I try to retrieve the default ConnectionFactory from my standalone client, it throws the following exception:
