Client fails with Error: HornetQConnectionTimedOutException[errorType=CONNECTION_TIMEDOUT message=HQ119013: Timed out waiting to receive cluster topology. Group:null]

Issue

• When an external client attempts to connect to the HornetQ server running inside JBoss EAP 6.x, the following error appears on the client side even though netstat shows the correct TCP connections being created and there is only a single node without any clustering.
