How to configure JBoss-EAP-6 to connect to an external JBoss-EAP HornetQ instance

Solution Unverified - Updated -

Environment

  • Red Hat JBoss Enterprise Application Platform (EAP)
    • 6.x

Issue

  • We are trying to configure JBoss-EAP-6 to communicate with external JBoss-EAP-6 server that is running in standalone mode. Could you please guide us how to achieve this ?

Resolution

You need to configure HornetQ's resource adapter to communicate to a remote HornetQ instance. Since JBoss-EAP-6 has embedded HornetQ's resource adapter in JBoss-EAP-6, you need to override the default "pooled connection factory" to achieve this.

Please configure a connector pointing to the remote HornetQ instance. Then use the configured connector in the pooled connection factory. Here's a sample configuration. The attributes are self explanatory.

       <subsystem xmlns="urn:jboss:domain:messaging:1.3">
            <hornetq-server>
                <connectors>
                   <connector name="remote-server">
                        <factory-class>org.hornetq.core.remoting.impl.netty.NettyConnectorFactory</factory-class>
                        <param key="host" value="10.0.0.3"/> <!-- REMOTE LIVE SERVER IP ADDRESS -->
                        <param key="port" value="5445"/>
                    </connector>
                </connectors>
                <jms-connection-factories>
                    <pooled-connection-factory name="hornetq-ra">
                        <inbound-config>
                            <setup-attempts>200</setup-attempts>
                            <setup-interval>10000</setup-interval>
                        </inbound-config>
                        <retry-interval>1000</retry-interval>
                        <retry-interval-multiplier>2.0</retry-interval-multiplier>
                        <max-retry-interval>60000</max-retry-interval>
                        <reconnect-attempts>200</reconnect-attempts>
                        <user>admin</user>  <!-- PLEASE CHANGE THIS -->
                        <password>password@?</password>  <!-- PLEASE CHANGE THIS -->
                        <transaction mode="xa"/>
                        <connectors>
                            <connector-ref connector-name="remote-server"/>
                        </connectors>
                        <entries>
                            <entry name="java:/JmsXA"/>
                        </entries>
                    </pooled-connection-factory>
               </jms-connection-factories>
            </hornetq-server>
        </subsystem>
