Issue

I am unable to send a text message to ActiveMQ from the Hawtio console. The following error occurs:

javax.jms.JMSSecurityException: User name [null] or password is invalid.

Resolution

The Hawtio console packaged with ActiveMQ exposes operations to send messages to a destination. If you choose to use the "Send text message(java.lang.string)" method on a broker which requires authentication the JMSSecurityException will occur. Instead you should use the "Send text message(java.lang.string,java.lang.string,java.lang.string)" which allows for a username and password to be set.
