Remote JMS Provider | Connecting EJB3 to a remote Topic ?

[artima]

Hi All,
I am using JBoss 5.1 + JBM2.0 BETA 4. I have a server, Server1 which has a topic and I need to receive messages on this topic on server 2. On Server 2, I am creating an RemoteJMSProvider, and using it in the EJB3 MDB, however, the connection b/w server 1 and server2 aint seems to be happening. I have gone through all the post on this site about this topic and I think I am doing exactly what the examples recommends. Can someone please help me with this problem.

Server 2 [jms-ds.xml]

<mbean code="org.jboss.jms.jndi.JMSProviderLoader"
 name="jboss.messaging:service=JMSProviderLoader,name=RemoteJMSProvider,server=remotehost">
 <attribute name="ProviderName">RemoteJMSProvider</attribute>
 <attribute name="ProviderAdapterClass">org.jboss.jms.jndi.JNDIProviderAdapter</attribute>
 <!-- The connection factory -->
 <attribute name="FactoryRef">java:/XAConnectionFactory</attribute>
 <!-- The queue connection factory -->
 <attribute name="QueueFactoryRef">java:/XAConnectionFactory</attribute>
 <!-- The topic factory -->
 <attribute name="TopicFactoryRef">java:/XAConnectionFactory</attribute>
 <!-- Connect to JNDI on the host "the-remote-host-name" port 1099-->
 <attribute name="Properties">
 java.naming.factory.initial=org.jnp.interfaces.NamingContextFactory
 java.naming.factory.url.pkgs=org.jnp.interfaces
 java.naming.provider.url=10.10.111.11:13001
 </attribute>
 </mbean>

EJB on Server 2:

 @MessageDriven(mappedName = "jms/Topic11",activationConfig =
{
 @ActivationConfigProperty(propertyName = "destination", propertyValue = "/topic/topictarget"),
 @ActivationConfigProperty(propertyName = "acknowledgeMode", propertyValue = "Auto-acknowledge"),
 @ActivationConfigProperty(propertyName = "providerAdapterJNDI", propertyValue="java:/RemoteJMSProvider"),
 @ActivationConfigProperty(propertyName = "destinationType", propertyValue = "javax.jms.Topic")
})

If however I create a POJO that directly consumes message from 10.10.111.11:13001, then I am able to get it fine. That atleast tells me that the server 1 is getting the message.

Thanks in advance,
amit.

firstly i would recommend downloading HornetQ from http://hornetq.org and taking a look at the jca-config example

Hi Andy,
Thanks for your response. I did look at HornetQ as mentioned in your response. The example in HornetQ is no different than the one for JBM2.0, except that it uses a different Java package for the same class.

Even with JBM2.0, I had tried out the approach of direct netty connection specified in the MDB, but doesnt work either. [Unless there is bug in BETA 4.0 that prevents us doing that].

Any further help will be greatly appreciated.

Thank,
amit.

I tested this just last week and it seemed to work fine, what error are you getting?
