    Using JNDIProviderAdapter from client (MDB) code?

      Hello,

      I am successfully using EJB3 MDBs to connect to a remote destination; defined a "RemoteJMSProvider" and connected using the "providerAdapterJNDI" annotation (see: http://wiki.jboss.org/wiki/Wiki.jsp?page=HowDoIConfigureAnEJB3MDBToTalkToARemoteQueue)

      The twist is that I need to send another JMS message from within the MDB, so I need to create a client JMS connection. It seems cleanest to reuse this provider, but I am not sure if I can/should.

      InitialContext ctx = new InitialContext();
JNDIProviderAdapter remoteProvider = (JNDIProviderAdapter)ctx.lookup("java:/RemoteJMSProvider");
???
ConnectionFactory connectionFactory = ???
Connection conn = connectionFactory.createConnection();
...



      API for JNDIProviderAdapter:
      http://docs.jboss.org/jbossas/javadoc/4.0.4/server/org/jboss/jms/jndi/JNDIProviderAdapter.html

      Questions:
      * Can/should I use the JNDIProviderAdapter to get a ConnectionFactory?
      * If so, which jar contains JNDIProviderAdapter.class (necessary to compile)?

      Thanks,
      Erik

          "That was easy!!!" - sigh...

          InitialContext localCtx = new InitialContext();
JNDIProviderAdapter jmsProvider = (JNDIProviderAdapter) localCtx.lookup("java:/RemoteJMSProvider");
Properties jmsProviderProps = jmsProvider.getProperties();
InitialContext remoteCtx = new InitialContext(jmsProviderProps);
Destination topic = (Destination) remoteCtx.lookup("queue/test");


          Note: You will need to include jboss.jar in build path.

          Cheers,

            For inbound, define your configuration in standardjboss.xml and then in jboss.xml:

            <message-driven>
 <ejb-name>RouterMDB</ejb-name>
 <destination-jndi-name>...</destination-jndi-name>
 <configuration-name>Remote Message Driven Bean</configuration-name>


            It's better to use a -ds.xml file (JCA) connection to your provider outbound.

            Then you simply do: 
            ConnectionFactory cf =
 new InitialContext().lookup("java:/RemoteJmsXA");
Connection c = cf.createQueueConnection();
try {
} finally {
 c.close();
}

              Thanks for the tip...

              I am pretty wiped out now, so forgive me, but I don't quite get your solution.

              My objective is indeed to use "a -ds.xml file (JCA) connection to your provider outbound", but my initial problem was getting access to the destinations on the remote JMS provider. My JBoss-specific (hokey?) solution does that.

              I like that your solution looks portable, but it appears to be missing some of the extra sauce. My issue is that I am unclear how to lookup the remote destination (i.e. "queue/test") etc; assuming remote provider defined as "RemoteJmsXA" (i.e. ./deploy/jms/remotejmsxa-ds.xml).

              If you could extend your example a bit to include creating a "MessageProducer" to a remote queue it would be helpful.

              Standard example client code:

              InitialContext ctx = new InitialContext();
Destination topic = (Destination) ctx.lookup("queue/test");
ConnectionFactory factory = (ConnectionFactory)ctx.lookup("UIL2ConnectionFactory");
Connection connection = factory.createConnection();
Session session = connection.createSession(true, Session.AUTO_ACKNOWLEDGE);
MessageProducer publisher = session.createProducer(topic);
...
