• Following user was already created via "$JBOSS_HOME/bin/add-user.sh":

  • UserName: "jmsuser"
  • Password: "jmsuser@123"
  • RoleName: "guest"

• The JMS Client code looks like following:

    public void init(Context ctx, String queueName)throws NamingException, JMSException
    {
        qconFactory = (QueueConnectionFactory) ctx.lookup("/jms/RemoteConnectionFactory");
        qcon = qconFactory.createQueueConnection();     
        qsession = qcon.createQueueSession(false, Session.AUTO_ACKNOWLEDGE);
        queue = (Queue) ctx.lookup(queueName);
        qsender = qsession.createSender(queue);
        msg = qsession.createTextMessage();
        qcon.start();

                for(int i=1;i<=5;i++)
                  {
                    String message="TestMsg-"+i+" at "+ new java.util.Date();
                    msg.setText(message);
                    System.out.println("\n\t Message Sent : "+message); 
                    qsender.send(msg);
                  }
               qcon.close();                
    }
