Hard to find the client libray

[dastraub]

For sending of messages from a JBoss EAP instance to a JBoss A-MQ server is a client library required.

The system folder of JBoss A-MQ contains only an OSGI-Bundle activemq-osgi-5.8.0.redhat-60015.jar with the full broker.

At least, we found a client library in the binary distribution of the standalone AMQ (without karaf) in extras/apache-activemq-5.8.0.redhat-60015-bin.tar.gz, but a easier-to-find location would be better (e.g. jboss maven repository).

FYI, for clients (message sender) running in a JBoss EAP we created a module like this :

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<module xmlns="urn:jboss:module:1.0" name="our.company.messaging-client">

<resources>

  <resource-root path="activemq-client-5.8.0.redhat-60015.jar"/>

</resources>

<dependencies>

  <module name="javax.jms.api"/>

  <module name="javax.management.j2ee.api"/>

  <module name="org.slf4j"/>

</dependencies>

</module>

and add this as a dendency to an EAR (so we can go ahead with pure JMS in the application).

Btw, a full official supported JCA resource adapter for use in an EAP instance would also be good.

The JCA resource adapter is in there also, if a little hidden. It is included in extras/apache-activemq-5.8.0.redhat-60024-bin.zip in the release.

%> jar tvf extras/apache-activemq-5.8.0.redhat-60024-bin.zip | grep "activemq-rar"

That is a fully supported standard compliant resource adapter.

Cool, thanks !

Hi Daniel,  this blog http://sergepagop.blogspot.de/2013/05/jboss-mq-6-activemq-rar-integration-in.html can help to integrate JBoss A-MQ RAR in JBoss EAP 6.1. But is not yet supported in production by Red Hat.  Cheers, Serge
