    Wildfly 8.1: Can't connect remote to JMS-Topic using @MessageDriven

    happy_robot

      Hi all,

       

      i'm running a wildfly 8.1 cluster and can't connect remotely to my JMS-Topic with @MessageDriven.

      It all works fine doing it manually (trough JNDI-lookup), but fails if i try it by an @MessageDriven:activationConfig.

       

       

      JMS-Config (Server, bound to http-connector):

       

      <jms-destinations>

           .....

           <jms-topic name="byzzyTopic">

                <entry name="java:/jms/topic/byzzy"/>

                <entry name="java:jboss/exported/topic/byzzy"/>

           </jms-topic>

      </jms-destinations>

       

       

      Successfully call from remote-client (Wildfly running on another JVM on the same host):

       

            final Properties env = new Properties();

           env.put(Context.INITIAL_CONTEXT_FACTORY, "org.jboss.naming.remote.client.InitialContextFactory");

           env.put(Context.PROVIDER_URL, "http-remoting://localhost:8080");

           env.put(Context.SECURITY_PRINCIPAL, "user");

           env.put(Context.SECURITY_CREDENTIALS, "password");

           Context remoteContext;

           try {

               remoteContext = new InitialContext(env);

               ConnectionFactory factory = (ConnectionFactory) remoteContext.lookup("jms/RemoteConnectionFactory");

               HornetQTopic topic = (HornetQTopic) remoteContext.lookup("topic/byzzy");

               System.out.println(topic.getTopicName());

               System.out.println(topic.getAddress());

           } catch (NamingException exception) {

               exception.printStackTrace();

           }

       

       

       

      Failing call from remote-client using @MessageDriven-annotation (Wildfly running on another JVM on the same host):

       

      @MessageDriven(

          activationConfig = {

              @ActivationConfigProperty(propertyName = "destinationType", propertyValue = "javax.jms.Topic"),

              @ActivationConfigProperty(propertyName = "destination", propertyValue = "topic/byzzy"),

              @ActivationConfigProperty(propertyName = "user", propertyValue = "user"),

              @ActivationConfigProperty(propertyName = "password", propertyValue = "password"),

              @ActivationConfigProperty(propertyName="connectorClassName", propertyValue = "org.hornetq.core.remoting.impl.netty.NettyConnectorFactory"),

              @ActivationConfigProperty(propertyName="connectionParameters", propertyValue = "http-remoting://127.0.0.1:8080"),

              @ActivationConfigProperty(propertyName = "reconnectAttempts", propertyValue = "-1"),

              @ActivationConfigProperty(propertyName = "setupAttempts", propertyValue = "-1") })

      public class BackendListener implements MessageListener {

      ...

      }

       

      Using this annotation i get the following output om startup:

      What's wrong with my @MessageDriven-Annotation?

      Any ideas?

       

      Thanks in advance

          You're configuring your MDB incorrectly.  Try using this instead:

           

          @ActivationConfigProperty(propertyName="connectionParameters", propertyValue = "host=127.0.0.1;port=8080")
          

           

          HornetQ doesn't use the http-remoting protocol to communicate between client and server.  That is used by the client-side JNDI implementation.

            Doen't help. Exactly the same behaviour....

              Setting aside the DEBUG message, does your MDB receive messages sent to the topic?

                No. The server is sending messages to this topic all 5 s. But how could it receive messages without a connection?

                  I think you're misinterpreting the DEBUG message, "Unable to retrieve topic/byzzy from JNDI. Creating a new javax.jms.Topic named byzzy to be used by the MDB."  All this message is saying is that the HornetQ JCA RA couldn't retrieve "topic/byzzy" from JNDI and therefore will instantiate a topic named "byzzy".  However, it's not surprising that the HornetQ JCA RA couldn't retrieve "topic/byzzy" from JNDI because that topic is defined in JNDI on a remote server and you haven't told the HornetQ JCA RA how to connect to JNDI on any remote server so it defaults to local JNDI which, of course, doesn't have the topic in question. 


                  Remember, JNDI and JMS are 100% independent specifications so telling the HornetQ JCA RA how to connect to the remote HornetQ JMS implementation (e.g. via the "connectorClassName" and "connectionParameters" activation configuration properties) is not the same as telling it how to connect to the remote JNDI server (e.g. via the "jndiParams" activation configuration property).


                  You'll note that the topic the HornetQ JCA RA decides to instantiate is named "byzzy" which doesn't match the actual name of the topic as it's defined on the remote server (i.e. "byzzyTopic").  I didn't notice this before so you'll need to make further adjustments to your MDB config to make things work properly.  Here's what I recommend you add/change in the MDB config you pasted previously:

                   

                  @ActivationConfigProperty(propertyName="destination", propertyValue = "byzzyTopic"),
                  @ActivationConfigProperty(propertyName="connectionParameters", propertyValue = "host=127.0.0.1;port=8080"),
                  @ActivationConfigProperty(propertyName="useJNDI", propertyValue = "false")

                    Thanks, I can now see that HornetQ is succesfully connecting to my server:

                    My client is able to receive this messages using the classic way, but what am i still missing in my @MessageDriven ??

                      I am a little bit confused about the Connection-information (in red).....

                      The "local" and "remote" values there are generated by calling localAddress() and remoteAddress() respectively on the underlying io.netty.channel.Channel.  I believe the "remote" value is null because the channel is no longer connected because it timed out.  The underlying cause of the connection timeout may hold the key to your MDB's problem.  Could you provide me with a reproducible test-case?  If I can't reproduce it with your test case then it points to an environmental issue.  If I can then it points to something else, either code or configuration.
