Problem with remote connection to message queues on JBoss EAP 7

Issue

We having problems connecting an external client to ActiveMQ (Artemis) queues defined in JBoss EAP 7.

In our test we are running JBoss EAP 7.0.6 on a Linux server (myserver.com) and our application deploys without errors.

On a separate machine, we use a client application to write messages to the EAP queues, this application uses following connection parameters:

 - INITIAL_CONTEXT_FACTORY = "org.jboss.naming.remote.client.InitialContextFactory"
 - JNDI_PROVIDER_URL = "http-remoting://myserver.com:8080";
 - QUEUE_CONNECTION_FACTORY = "java:/jms/RemoteConnectionFactory";
 - DEFAULT_USER = "user";
 - DEFAULT_PASSWORD = "password";

When starting our client application we get the following error:

2017-12-11 09:40:48,840 | ERROR  | failed to set up MQ connection factory
javax.naming.CommunicationException: Failed to connect to any server. Servers tried: [http-remoting://myserver.com:8080 (org.xnio.http.UpgradeFailedException: Invalid response code 200)]
