WildFly 13 connect to Amazon MQ (ActiveMQ 5.15.0)

[tihomir.mescic]

Hi all,

we're migrating our infrastructure to AWS, and we want to run WildFly 13, but instead of using the embedded Artemis MQ that comes with WildFly, we want to connect it to Amazon MQ.

The main issue is that we want to keep using the @MessageDriven beans but we want them to get messages from a remote Amazom MQ (which is running ActiveMQ 5.15.0).

I tried many different things, but I was unable to make it work. I wasn't able to find any tutorial/documentation on how to do it.

Can someone point me to some useful resources or explain here how I would do this?

Amazon MQ exposes these endpoints:

OpenWire -> ssl://server:61617

AMQP -> amqp+ssl://server:5671

STOMP -> stomp+ssl://server:61614

MQTT -> mqtt+ssl://server:8883

WSS -> wss://server:61619

Thanks in advance,

Tihomir

Normally, connecting to remote JMS Servers can be done through a JMS Bridge:

Messaging configuration - Latest WildFly Documentation - Project Documentation Editor

However, I don't think this will work since it looks like you'll be utilizing other protocols to send and retrieve messages.  You may want to try installing an ActiveMQ resource adapter, which may allow you to utilize the other protocols.

Directions on how to install the resource adapter:

Where to obtain the ActiveMQ resource adapter:

Thanks,

I've managed to connect to Amazon MQ by using the resource adapter approach...

Hello Tihomir.

What steps did you take to make the connection? I am trying to do the same and after following the guide and several others, my JBoss is failing to make the connection to Amazon MQ with an 'UnknownHostException'.

I've followed these steps:

Make sure you use the OpenWire URL of the broker (you can find it on the AWS console), and also make sure your VPC/networks settings don't block connections from JBOSS to you message broker.
