Not able to connect to remote Queue through Bridge

[jjacobwip]

Hi,

We were trying to setup a Messaging bridge between Jboss SOA platform 4.2.2 and Jboss AS 4.0.4. I have an remote MQ queue running on 4.0.4 server. We are doing this to avoid any incompatability between Jboss Messaging in SOA and MQ in 4.0.4.

We set the Source as the remote queue running on 4.0.4 and target as a local queue running in SOA platform. But when the bridge configuration is deployed, its throwing the below exception

2008-07-02 12:02:44,108 WARN [org.jboss.jms.server.bridge.Bridge] Failed to set up connections

Below is excerpts from our hajndi-jms-ds.xml. We are using LocalJMSProvider

Our bridge config is as below

 <!-- The username to use for the source connection
 <attribute name="SourceUsername">bob</attribute>
 -->

 <!-- The password to use for the source connection
 <attribute name="SourcePassword">cheesecake</attribute>

Below is our remote queue config

<mbean code="org.jboss.jms.jndi.JMSProviderLoader"

 java.naming.factory.url.pkgs=org.jboss.naming:org.jnp.interfaces
 java.naming.provider.url=10.200.171.60:1199
 </attribute>
 </mbean>

Could somebody let us know whats wrong with this configuration? We have gone through other threads which talks about the same issue, but was not that helpful.

Thanks in advance

One thing you could try is to prepend java:/ to your FactoryRefs.
e.g.:

<attribute name="QueueFactoryRef">java:/XAConnectionFactory</attribute>

hope it helps,

Thank You. I have tried this, but still getting the same issue.

My source is a Remote Queue running in Jboss MQ and my target is a local Queue running on Jboss Messaging. To make it more clear, remote queue is running on Jboss 4.0.4 where messaging is Jboss MQ and my bridge is configured on Jboss AS 4.2.0 which is using Jboss Messaging. I am trying to create a bridge between Jboss MQ and Jboss Messaging.

I am also facing the same problem. Have you found the solution for this?

Not fully about the issue listed above. But I had an issue a bit similar.
My messaging setup was working locally.
But over a network , my client wasn't able to establish a connection
with my server.

With lots of googling, trial and error and with help from a friend ,
I got it working by following these steps :

• In jboss-5.0.0\server\default\conf\jndi.properties
  added : java.naming.provider.url=192.168.0.116:1099
  
  
• Changes to
  jboss-5.0.0\server\default\deploy\messaging\jms-ds.xml
  
  Avoided using ${jboss.bind.address} : The value substitution wasn't appearing in this file.

  <security-domain-and-application>JmsXARealm2</security-domain-and-application>

  Corresponding changes to jboss-5.0.0\server\default\conf\login-config.xml:
  
  <application-policy name="JmsXARealm2">
  
  <login-module code="org.jboss.resource.security.ConfiguredIdentityLoginModule"

  <module-option name="managedConnectionFactoryName">jboss.jca:service=TxCM,name=JmsXA2</module-option>
  </login-module>
  
  </application-policy>
  
  
  
• Bound the address during jboss's startup
  run.bat -b 192.168.0.116
  
  
• Changed the firewall settings on my XP machine to allow my client to interact with my server.
