How to programatically access a queue in JBoss 7.x

[viggo.navarsete]

Hi,

in JBoss 6.1.0.Final we accessed a queue in JBoss (to get size, stop and start queue) by the following code:

private JMSQueueControl getJMSQueueControl() throws Exception {


MBeanServer server = MBeanServerFactory.findMBeanServer(null).get( 0 );
bjectName on = ObjectNameBuilder.DEFAULT.getJMSQueueObjectName( queue.getQueueName() );
eturn MBeanServerInvocationHandler
      .newProxyInstance(server, on, JMSQueueControl.class, false);
}

According to clebert at the #hornetq irc chat JBoss 7.x is completely rewritten and it is done in another way. I would like an example how I can access a queue in JBoss 7.x and get queue size, start and stop a queue.

I also add the chat from the #hornetq irc chat to give som context:

(06:14:50 PM) clebert: vnvarsete: JBoss had its own JMX server

(06:14:56 PM) clebert: vnvarsete: AS7 is a different thing...

(06:15:05 PM) clebert: it doesn't have JMX as its heart beat

(06:16:58 PM) clebert: vnvarsete: all the examples we have were for HornetQ on AS5

(06:17:08 PM) clebert: vnvarsete: we probably need to recoup those

(06:17:17 PM) Viggo: clebert: ok, so that's why perhaps Andy know most about it?!

(06:17:37 PM) clebert: vnvarsete: Andy will know other ways to manage AS7

(06:17:44 PM) clebert: vnvarsete: there are new ways now

were you able to find a solution?.

The best way to manage JMS queue programmatically in AS7 is to used its management API[1]

As an example, in AS7 integration test suite, we have tests which use this API to programmatically create and mange JMS Queues[2]

The calls to AS7 management API are wrapped up in an helper class that should be similar to what you need [3]
