Configuration of external JMS queues

[th.janssen]

Hi,

I am currently trying to integrate JBoss AS 7 with an external ActiveMQ messaging broker as described in this example: https://community.jboss.org/wiki/IntegrationOfJBossAS7WithActiveMQ

This approach works fine but why do I need to use the physical name of the queue in the @ActivationConfigProperty(propertyName = "destination", propertyValue = "queue.queue_in") annotation? Using the JNDI name does not work here.

But it works with the @Resource(mappedName = "java:/activemq/queue_out") annotation for my "response queue".

Defining the physical name of an external queue within the source code is really annoying because we will need a new software release if our customer decides to rename his queue

Is there any way to make it configurable?

Thanks!

Thorben

What's wrong with setting @ActivationConfigProperty(propertyName = "useJNDI", propertyValue = "true") ? You should be able to use JNDI names then.

Hi Jarkko,

thanks for your response. Setting useJNDI shows no effect. JBoss is still using the JNDI name as name of the queue.

The activation configuration properties are used by the ActiveMQ JCA Resource Adapter.  You'll need to check with the ActiveMQ community/developers to see if their RA supports using the JNDI name of the destination rather than the physical name.  There's nothing JBossAS/Wildfly can do about it.

Hi Justin,

thank you for your answer and sorry for me late response.

I will check that and come back if there are any further questions.

Thanks,
