hi It's working now. I had the InitialContext factory class name wrong. since the internet does not seem to be helpful with complete examples on subjects like this, I would like to give one here. Forwarding from JBoss 7.2 to Artemis 2.4.0 via JMS Bridge: - Setup JBoss Messaging as they say in the manual. The manual is actually rather good here, so who am I to deprive you of the pleasure. - Setup Artemis. As before, the manual is extensive on the matter. - Make an Artemis module for JBoss. The module.xml file looks like that: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <module xmlns="urn:jboss:module:1.1" name="org.activemq.artemis"> <resources> <resource-root path="artemis-jms-client-all-2.4.0.jar" /> </resources> <dependencies> <module name="sun.jdk" /> <module name="javax.api"/> <module name="javaee.api"/> <module name="org.hornetq"/> <module name="org.jboss.as.messaging"/> <module name="org.jboss.as.naming"/> <module name="org.jboss.jboss-transaction-spi"/> <module name="org.jboss.jts"/> <module name="org.jboss.logging"/> <module name="org.jboss.netty"/> </dependencies> </module> The file goes as module.xml in jboss/modules/org/activemq/artemis/main. There you also copy artemis-jms-client-all...jar. There may be more JBoss module dependencies than actually needed, but I could not find documentation on which modules are there and what they provide. - configure the JMS Bridge in standalone.xml: <subsystem xmlns="urn:jboss:domain:messaging:1.3"> <hornetq-server> ... your config here </hornetq-server> <jms-bridge name="artemis-bridge" module="org.activemq.artemis"> <source> <connection-factory name="java:/ConnectionFactory"/> <destination name="/jms/queue/out"/> </source> <target> <connection-factory name="CF"/> <destination name="testQueue"/> <user>username</user> <password>password</password> <context> <property key="java.naming.factory.initial" value="org.apache.activemq.artemis.jndi.ActiveMQInitialContextFactory"/> <property key="java.naming.provider.url" value="tcp://127.0.0.1:61616?retryInterval=60000&amp;reconnectAttempts=-1"/> <property key="connectionFactory.CF" value="tcp://127.0.0.1:61616?retryInterval=60000&amp;reconnectAttempts=-1" /> <property key="queue.testQueue" value="testQueue" /> </context> </target> <quality-of-service>AT_MOST_ONCE</quality-of-service> <failure-retry-interval>500</failure-retry-interval> <max-retries>1</max-retries> <max-batch-size>500</max-batch-size> <max-batch-time>500</max-batch-time> <add-messageID-in-header>true</add-messageID-in-header> </jms-bridge> </subsystem> The Parameters of the ActiveMQInitialContextFactory are well described in the Artemis docs. There may be a little redundancy with the repeatet tcp:// thingy. And this is it. Thanks acefael On Sat, Jun 09, 2018 at 09:44:05AM +0200, acefael wrote:
