JBoss & HornetQ first try

[Laura delli Paoli]

Hello everybody,

I'm very new to HornetQ and JBoss.

I'm trying to develop a simple message passing application but I have some questions:

1) I configured HornetQ in JBoss (I followed this tutorial: http://planet.jboss.org/post/hornetq_on_jboss_as70), but I still cannot import org.hornetq.api.... classes. How can I add these libraries to my JBoss AS 7?

2) Can anyone proide any example of Eclipse project?

regards

Laura

Can you clarify your use-case a bit more?  Do you have an application running within JBoss AS7 which needs access to the HornetQ API or is it a stand-alone application communicating with HornetQ hosted in JBoss AS7?

Hi, thanks for your answer!!!

I think I should refer to the former case, an application running within JBoss AS7 which needs access to the HornetQ API.

In that case, you need to specify your application's dependency on HornetQ so that the classloader will expose the HornetQ JARs to it.  You can do this by putting a line like this in the MANIFEST.MF of your application JAR:

Dependencies: org.hornetq

Thanks!

If I use Eclipse IDE (with JBossTools), which kind of project is the most suitable for such an application?

[Justin Bertram]

I don't use JBossTools (and never really have) so I can't really advise you on that point.  You might try the JBoss Tools forum regarding that particular question.

Ok, thanks!
