Need help with configuring message bridge from JBM-1.4.03SP3

[karen.kramer]

We are deploying an application on JBoss EAP 4.3.0 using JBM 1.4.0 SP3 and have successfully deployed with multiple queues and can successfully send messages and process them using MDB's.
We have one queue that needs to send messages to a queue that belongs to another internal application that is running in a standalone server JBOSS 4.0.5 with JMS that is JBossMQ. We thought that a messaging bridge would be the solution. (comments welcome here?)

So, I tried to follow the instructions that I found and did some other net surfing and came up with this:

1. test-bridge-service.xml:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<server>
 <mbean code="org.jboss.jms.server.bridge.BridgeService"
 name="jboss.messaging:service=Bridge,name=TestBridge"
 xmbean-dd="xmdesc/Bridge-xmbean.xml">
 <!-- This SourceProviderLoader is for this application ..so I use the default provider -->
 <depends optional-attribute-name="SourceProviderLoader">jboss.messaging:service=JMSProviderLoader,name=JMSProvider</depends>

 <!-- This TargetProviderLoader is for connecting to the extenal application ...I've tried to define this in jms-ds.xml...this part is confusing me a bit -->
 <depends optional-attribute-name="TargetProviderLoader">jboss.messaging:service=JMSProviderLoader,name=MyRemoteJMSProvider</depends>

 <!-- Yes, these queues are named identically on both servers ! -->
 <attribute name="SourceDestinationLookup">/queue/DisputeStatusMessageQueue</attribute>
 <attribute name="TargetDestinationLookup">/queue/DisputeStatusMessageQueue</attribute>
 <attribute name="TargetUsername">guest</attribute>
 <attribute name="TargetPassword">guest</attribute>
 <attribute name="QualityOfServiceMode">0</attribute>
 <attribute name="MaxBatchSize">5</attribute>
 <attribute name="MaxBatchTime">-1</attribute>
 <attribute name="FailureRetryInterval">5000</attribute>
 <attribute name="MaxRetries">-1</attribute>
 <attribute name="AddMessageIDInHeader">false</attribute>
 </mbean>
 </server>

2. jms-ds.xml

I used this as a sample: http://wiki.jboss.org/wiki/JBMBridgeConfiguration
I'm not clear if MyRemoteJMSProvider should be using "messaging classes" or "JBossMQ" classes. Also, I don't think that I need HAJNDI, but otherwise how would you know the IP address and port number to connect to? I didn't see any other place to put that info.

 </mbean>

4. Deployment error

I guess that I overran my space above!!

I would be so grateful for any comments or help!

Not sure if it helps you but I noticed that with the example test-bridge-service.xml it is doing the jndi lookup for:

jboss.messaging:service=JMSProviderLoader,name=DefaultJMSProvider

This is not registered, perhaps it was in the 4.2 when messaging was manually deployed following there instructions. The correct registered path in my 4.3 eap distro is:

jboss.jms:service=JMSProviderLoader,name=DefaultJMSProvider

Thanks for responding! You're correct!

Since that original question, I have managed to get a messaging bridge working and I will share the code to maybe help others.
