client for remote JMS queue

Question

I have a JMS queue configured on remote glassfish server. I'm trying to connect this queue from my local machine. Is it possible to connect directly to this server or I need to connect via some broker/agent? How does it work? (I'm fresh in jms area) Many thanks

Answer 1

If your client application is running outside Glassfish here is a simple code example for an open mq client.

To get it to work you will need to reference 2 openmq jars from the glassfishInstall/mq/lib directory - imq.jar and jms.jar

import com.sun.messaging.ConnectionConfiguration;
import com.sun.messaging.ConnectionFactory;
import com.sun.messaging.Queue;
import javax.jms.Connection;
import javax.jms.JMSException;
import javax.jms.Message;
import javax.jms.MessageProducer;
import javax.jms.Session;

public class TestJmsClientStandalone2 {

    public static void main( String[] args ) throws JMSException
    {
        ConnectionFactory connFactory = new ConnectionFactory();
        connFactory.setProperty(ConnectionConfiguration.imqAddressList, "remotehostip:7676");

        Queue myQueue = new Queue("myRemoteQueue");

        try (Connection connection = connFactory.createConnection(); 
                Session session = connection.createSession(false, Session.AUTO_ACKNOWLEDGE); 
                MessageProducer producer = session.createProducer(myQueue)) {

            Message message = session.createTextMessage("this is my test message");
            producer.send(message);
        }
    }
}
