Could not find ConnectionFactory with JNDI on JMS

Question

I am new to JMS and I am trying to load connectionFactory. I followed a few tutorials, but for some reason this does not seem to work, I get an exception every time I try a ".lookup" connectionfactory. I am using JBoss7.1.

Here is the class I'm trying to get connectionFactory from:

public class QueueSend extends Frame implements ActionListener { private QueueConnectionFactory qconFactory; private QueueConnection qcon; private QueueSession qsession; private QueueSender qsender; private Queue queue; private TextMessage msg; private TextField tf=new TextField(); private Button send=new Button("Send"); public QueueSend(){ super("Queue Sender"); setLocation(150,50); setSize(200,100); add(tf); add(send,BorderLayout.SOUTH); send.addActionListener(this); send.setEnabled(false); addWindowListener(new WindowAdapter(){ public void windowClosing(WindowEvent w){ send("quit"); close(); System.exit(0); } }); setVisible(true); init(); } public void init(){ try{ InitialContext ctx = getInitialContext(); qconFactory = (QueueConnectionFactory) ctx.lookup("ConnectionFactory"); queue = (Queue) ctx.lookup("java:/queue/text"); qcon = qconFactory.createQueueConnection(); qsession = qcon.createQueueSession(false, Session.AUTO_ACKNOWLEDGE); qsender = qsession.createSender(queue); qcon.start(); send.setEnabled(true); }catch(NamingException e1){e1.printStackTrace(); }catch(JMSException e2){e2.printStackTrace();} } public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e){ String message=tf.getText(); tf.setText(""); if(message.length()>0) send(message); } public void send(String message){ try{ //send a message with the given string TextMessage textMessage = qsession.createTextMessage(message); qsender.send(textMessage); // enter text here }catch(JMSException e){e.printStackTrace();} } public void close(){ try{ qsender.close(); qsession.close(); qcon.close(); }catch(JMSException e1){e1.printStackTrace(); }catch(NullPointerException e2){e2.printStackTrace();} } public static void main(String[] args){ new QueueSend(); } public InitialContext getInitialContext(){ Properties properties = new Properties(); properties.put(Context.URL_PKG_PREFIXES,"org.jboss.ejb.client.naming"); properties.put(Context.INITIAL_CONTEXT_FACTORY, "org.jboss.naming.remote.client.InitialContextFactory"); properties.put("jboss.naming.client.connect.options.org.xnio.Options.SASL_POLICY_NOPLAINTEXT", "false"); properties.put("java.naming.provider.url","remote://127.0.0.1:4447"); properties.put("jboss.naming.client.ejb.context","true"); properties.put("jboss.naming.client.connect.options.org.xnio.Options.SASL_POLICY_NOPLAINTEXT","false" ); try { return new InitialContext(properties); } catch (NamingException e) { System.out.println("Cannot generate InitialContext"); e.printStackTrace(); } return null; } } 

I get this exception:

 javax.naming.NameNotFoundException: ConnectionFactory -- service jboss.naming.context.java.jboss.exported.ConnectionFactory at org.jboss.as.naming.ServiceBasedNamingStore.lookup(ServiceBasedNamingStore.java:97) at org.jboss.as.naming.NamingContext.lookup(NamingContext.java:178) at org.jboss.naming.remote.protocol.v1.Protocol$1.handleServerMessage(Protocol.java:127) at org.jboss.naming.remote.protocol.v1.RemoteNamingServerV1$MessageReciever$1.run(RemoteNamingServerV1.j ava:73) at java.util.concurrent.ThreadPoolExecutor.runWorker(Unknown Source) at java.util.concurrent.ThreadPoolExecutor$Worker.run(Unknown Source) at java.lang.Thread.run(Unknown Source) 

When I log into the JBoss server from a browser, I cannot find "ConnectionFactory" in the "Naming" tab

this is from standalone-full.xml file:

  <jms-connection-factories> <connection-factory name="InVmConnectionFactory"> <connectors> <connector-ref connector-name="in-vm"/> </connectors> <entries> <entry name="java:/ConnectionFactory"/> </entries> </connection-factory> <connection-factory name="RemoteConnectionFactory"> <connectors> <connector-ref connector-name="netty"/> </connectors> <entries> <entry name="RemoteConnectionFactory"/> <entry name="java:jboss/exported/jms/RemoteConnectionFactory"/> </entries> </connection-factory> <pooled-connection-factory name="hornetq-ra"> <transaction mode="xa"/> <connectors> <connector-ref connector-name="in-vm"/> </connectors> <entries> <entry name="java:/JmsXA"/> </entries> </pooled-connection-factory> </jms-connection-factories> 

What am I doing wrong?

Answer 1

I found out what the problem is. The default configuration file for my JBoss server was standalone.xml, and the connectionFactory is configured in the standalone-full.xml file, which is a more complete version of standalone.xml. Therefore, I only had to change the server configuration file from standalone.xml to standalone-full.xml, and this did the trick: @) ~

Answer 2

For me, I tried to find java:jboss/exported/jms/RemoteConnectionFactory on a remote Widlfly. Instead of java:/jms/RemoteConnectionFactory , which was wrong, I needed to look for jms/RemoteConnectionFactory (the text after exported ).
