The helloworld-jms quickstart demonstrates the use of external JMS clients with JBoss EAP.

What is it?

The helloworld-jms quickstart demonstrates the use of external JMS clients with JBoss Enterprise Application Platform Server.

It contains the following:

  1. A message producer that sends messages to a JMS destination deployed to a JBoss EAP server.

  2. A message consumer that receives message from a JMS destination deployed to a JBoss EAP server.

System Requirements

The application this project produces is designed to be run on JBoss Enterprise Application Platform Server 7.2 or later.

All you need to build this project is Java 8.0 (Java SDK 1.8) or later and Maven 3.3.1 or later. See Configure Maven to Build and Deploy the Quickstarts to make sure you are configured correctly for testing the quickstarts.

To run these quickstarts with the provided build scripts, you need the JBoss EAP distribution ZIP. For information on how to install and run the JBoss EAP server, see the Getting Started Guide.

Use of EAP_HOME

In the following instructions, replace EAP_HOME with the actual path to your JBoss EAP installation. The installation path is described in detail here: Use of EAP_HOME and JBOSS_HOME Variables.

Add the Authorized Application User

This quickstart uses secured management interfaces and requires that you create the following application user to access the running application.

UserName Realm Password Roles

quickstartUser

ApplicationRealm

quickstartPwd1!

guest

To add the application user, open a terminal and type the following command:

$ EAP_HOME/bin/add-user.sh -a -u 'quickstartUser' -p 'quickstartPwd1!' -g 'guest'
Note
 For Windows, use the EAP_HOME\bin\add-user.bat script.

If you prefer, you can use the add-user utility interactively. For an example of how to use the add-user utility, see the instructions located here: Add an Application User.

Back Up the JBoss EAP Standalone Server Configuration

Before you begin, back up your server configuration file.

  1. If it is running, stop the JBoss EAP server.

  2. Back up the EAP_HOME/standalone/configuration/standalone-full.xml file.

After you have completed testing this quickstart, you can replace this file to restore the server to its original configuration.

Start the JBoss EAP Standalone Server

  1. Open a terminal and navigate to the root of the JBoss EAP directory.

  2. Start the JBoss EAP server with the full profile by typing the following command.

    $ EAP_HOME/bin/standalone.sh -c standalone-full.xml
    Note
    		 For Windows, use the EAP_HOME\bin\standalone.bat script.

Configure the Server

You configure the JMS test queue by running JBoss CLI commands. For your convenience, this quickstart batches the commands into a configure-jms.cli script provided in the root directory of this quickstart.

  1. Before you begin, make sure you do the following:

  2. Review the configure-jms.cli file in the root of this quickstart directory. This script adds the test queue to the messaging subsystem in the server configuration file.

  3. Open a new terminal, navigate to the root directory of this quickstart, and run the following command, replacing EAP_HOME with the path to your server:

    $ EAP_HOME/bin/jboss-cli.sh --connect --file=configure-jms.cli
    Note
    		 For Windows, use the EAP_HOME\bin\jboss-cli.bat script.

  4. You should see the following result when you run the script:

    The batch executed successfully

  5. Stop the JBoss EAP server.

Review the Modified Server Configuration

After stopping the server, open the EAP_HOME/standalone/configuration/standalone-full.xml file and review the changes.

The following testQueue jms-queue was configured in the default server configuration of the messaging-activemq subsystem.

<jms-queue name="testQueue" entries="queue/test java:jboss/exported/jms/queue/test"/>

Build and Execute the Quickstart

  1. Start the JBoss EAP server with the standalone full profile as described above.

  2. Open a terminal and navigate to the root of the helloworld-jms quickstart directory:

    $ cd PATH_TO_QUICKSTARTS/helloworld-jms

  3. Type the following command to compile and execute the quickstart:

    $ mvn clean compile exec:java
Note

If you execute this command multiple times, you may see the following warning and exception, followed by a stacktrace. This is caused by a bug in Artemis that has been fixed, but not yet released. For details, see https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARTEMIS-158. You can ignore this warning._

WARN: AMQ212007: connector.create or connectorFactory.createConnector should never throw an exception, implementation is badly behaved, but we will deal with it anyway.
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: port out of range:-1

Investigate the Console Output

If the Maven command is successful, with the default configuration you will see output similar to this:

timestamp org.jboss.as.quickstarts.jms.HelloWorldJMSClient main

SLF4J: Failed to load class "org.slf4j.impl.StaticLoggerBinder".

Optional Properties

The example provides for a certain amount of customization for the mvn:exec plug-in using the system properties.

Property

Default value

Description

username

quickstartUser

This username is used for both the JMS connection and the JNDI look up. Instructions to set up the quickstart application user can be found here: Add an Application User.

password

quickstartPwd1!

This password is used for both the JMS connection and the JNDI look up. Instructions to set up the quickstart application user can be found here: Add an Application User

connection.factory

jms/RemoteConnectionFactory

The name of the JMS ConnectionFactory you want to use.

destination

jms/queue/test

The name of the JMS Destination you want to use.

message.count

1

The number of JMS messages you want to produce and consume.

message.content

"Hello, World!"

The content of the JMS TextMessage.

java.naming.provider.url

"localhost"

This property allows configuration of the JNDI directory used to look up the JMS destination. This is useful when the client resides on another host.

Restore the JBoss EAP Standalone Server Configuration

You can restore the original server configuration using either of the following methods.

Restore the JBoss EAP Standalone Server Configuration by Running the JBoss CLI Script

  1. Start the JBoss EAP server as described above.

  2. Open a new terminal, navigate to the root directory of this quickstart, and run the following command, replacing EAP_HOME with the path to your server:

    $ EAP_HOME/bin/jboss-cli.sh --connect --file=remove-jms.cli
    Note
    		 For Windows, use the EAP_HOME\bin\jboss-cli.bat script.

This script removes the test queue from the messaging subsystem in the server configuration. You should see the following result when you run the script.

The batch executed successfully

Restore the JBoss EAP Standalone Server Configuration Manually

When you have completed testing the quickstart, you can restore the original server configuration by manually restoring the backup copy the configuration file.

  1. If it is running, stop the JBoss EAP server.

  2. Replace the EAP_HOME/standalone/configuration/standalone-full.xml file with the backup copy of the file.

Run the Quickstart in Red Hat JBoss Developer Studio or Eclipse

You can also start the server and deploy the quickstarts or run the Arquillian tests in Red Hat JBoss Developer Studio or from Eclipse using JBoss tools. For general information about how to import a quickstart, add a JBoss EAP server, and build and deploy a quickstart, see Use JBoss Developer Studio or Eclipse to Run the Quickstarts.

This quickstart consists of multiple projects, so it deploys and runs differently in Red Hat Developer Studio than the other quickstarts.

  1. Make sure you add the authorized application user as described above.

  2. Configure and start the JBoss EAP server in Red Hat Developer Studio:

    • Define a server runtime environment that uses the standalone-full.xml configuration file.

    • Start the server defined in the previous step.

  3. Outside of Red Hat Developer Studio, configure the JMS test queue by running the JBoss CLI commands as described above under Configure the Server.

  4. In Red Hat Developer Studio, right-click on the helloworld-jms project and choose Run As → Java Application. In the Select Java Application window, choose HellowWorldJMSClient - org.jboss.as.quickstarts.jms and click OK. The client output displays in the Console window. The output messages appear in the Console window.

  5. Make sure you restore the JBoss EAP server configuration when you have completed testing this quickstart.

Debug the Application

If you want to debug the source code of any library in the project, run the following command to pull the source into your local repository. The IDE should then detect it.

$ mvn dependency:sources
