Hey Nicklas,
I followed the hornetq Rest configuration for Jboss AS 7. I have a blog that explained how hornetq was now a part of JBoss AS 7. Here are the links

I also read the documentation on the JBoss website and understood that all I had to do was copy the web.xml listed in the documentation and hornetq-rest.xml in deployments folder.
The Jboss documentation that I referred was
http://docs.jboss.org/resteasy/docs/3.0-beta-1/userguide/html/index.html
Also I`m trying to populate a message to teh hornetq queue listed in the standalone.xml file. RestEasy is a jar that contains the Rest API needed to populate messages to hornetq queue. I looked at the server output and that was the port all messages were redirected to. If there is any other port I should be looking at please let me know. I dont think JSON Object is a problem here because you can specify the content-type as application-xml and have an xml string passed to the server.
I hope I answered all your questions. Thank you for helping me out here.
