I am wanting to create a JMS client on a computer that doesn't have JBoss installed to send messages to a computer that does have JBoss installed. As far as I can tell the correct procedure is as follows:

1. Make sure there is a suitable JVM installed

2. Make sure the following JAR files are available on the classpath:

concurrent.jar
jboss-common-client.jar
jbossmq-client.jar
jboss-system-client.jar
jnp-client.jar
log4j.jar
jnet.jar (if Java 1.3)
jboss-j2ee.jar

This is according to the JBoss documentation (except for jboss-j2ee.jar) but jboss-system-client.jar and log4j.jar don't seem to be required.

3. Configure the initial context with the following properties:

java.naming.factory.initial
java.naming.provider.url
java.naming.factory.url.pkgs

Where the provider URL is to the computer running JBoss.

4. Send a message as per any JMS client remembering that naming service names are not mapped into a ENC.

I have actually got a test program running fine using this procedure but I just wanted to check that this approach is kosher.

Thanks.
