Configure hornetq on Wildfly8 to send messages on JMS queue

Question

I have recently started using Wildfly 8 and noticed that Wildfly8 has a built-in JMS utility called Hornetq. My question is, how can I configure hornetq to send and receive message on a JMS queue using Wildfly8 server?

Answer 1

There are a number of good tutorials on the net about how to use HornetQ (JMS) from within Widlfly, I like this one for JMS 2.0:

• http://www.mastertheboss.com/jboss-server/jboss-jms/jms-20-tutorial-on-wildfly-as

Here is the hello world example from Wildfly themselves, illustrating how to implement an MDB and the respective listeners and topics:

• https://github.com/wildfly/quickstart/tree/8.x/helloworld-mdb

That page describes everything in excellent detail and demonstrates the use of JMS 2.0 and EJB 3.2 Message-Driven Bean in WildFly 8. The project is runnable with maven and creates two JMS resources:

• A queue named HELLOWORLDMDBQueue bound in JNDI as java:/queue/HELLOWORLDMDBQueue
• A topic named HELLOWORLDMDBTopic bound in JNDI as java:/topic/HELLOWORLDMDBTopic

If you are having trouble with configuration of queues etc. in the standalone, the docs here are actually quite helpful as well:
