Migrating JBossMQ queues to HornetQ

[philiplee]

Hi,

(JBossAS 4.2.3GA, HornetQ 2.0.0GA, JRE6)

I've tried to replicate my JBossMQ queue configuration in HornetQ but I get this error during my application startup:

Cannot create a consumer with a null destination
javax.jms.InvalidDestinationException: Cannot create a consumer with a null destination
        at org.hornetq.jms.client.HornetQSession.createConsumer(HornetQSession.java:373)
        at org.hornetq.jms.client.HornetQSession.createConsumer(HornetQSession.java:359)
        at org.hornetq.jms.client.HornetQSession.createReceiver(HornetQSession.java:817)
        at org.hornetq.ra.HornetQRASession.createReceiver(HornetQRASession.java:890)

        ...

The JBossMQ entries are like this:

<mbean code="org.jboss.mq.server.jmx.Queue"
      name="jboss.mq.destination:service=Queue,name=QUEUE1">
     <depends optional-attribute-name="DestinationManager">jboss.mq:service=DestinationManager</depends>
         <attribute name="JNDIName">jms/QUEUE1</attribute>
  </mbean>

and the new entries in hornetq-jms.xml have the form:

    <queue name="QUEUE1">
        <entry name="jms/QUEUE1"/>
    </queue>

Any ideas as to what is going wrong? Do I need some extra config?

Also, deploy/conf/standardjboss.xml has this element <CreateJBossMQDestination>true</CreateJBossMQDestination> :

    <invoker-proxy-binding>
      <name>message-driven-bean</name>
      <invoker-mbean>default</invoker-mbean>
      <proxy-factory>org.jboss.ejb.plugins.jms.JMSContainerInvoker</proxy-factory>
      <proxy-factory-config>
        <JMSProviderAdapterJNDI>DefaultJMSProvider</JMSProviderAdapterJNDI>
        <ServerSessionPoolFactoryJNDI>StdJMSPool</ServerSessionPoolFactoryJNDI>
        <CreateJBossMQDestination>true</CreateJBossMQDestination>

        ...

Does this need changing (as it does if replacing JBossMQ with JBM 1.4.5) ?

Thanks,

    Phil.

JBoss MQ and HornetQ are completely different messaging systems and are configured quite differently. You can't use JBoss MQ config with HornetQ.

Take a look at the user manual for an indepth guide for configuring HornetQ.

Also there are plenty of examples in the distro that show how to declare and configure queues.

Having installed HornetQ (as per quck start quide) on a vanilla JBoss 4.2.3GA there still appear to be remnants of JBossMQ (as per the default-with-hornetq/conf/standardjboss.xml mentioned above).

To rephrase one of my questions, are these JBossMQ remnants safe or do they need removing?

Thanks.

I'm not really an expert on JBoss application server configuration (which is what that is), but I'm pretty sure that is only relevant to JBoss MQ, not to HornetQ.
