HornetQ is an open source project to build a multi-protocol, embeddable, very high performance, clustered, asynchronous messaging system. HornetQ supports the JMS 1.1 API and also defines its own messaging API for maximum performance and flexibility. HornetQ class-beating high performance journal provides persistent messaging performance at rates normally seen for non-persistent messaging. HornetQ offers server replication and automatic client fail-over to eliminate lost or duplicated messages in case of server failure.
In previous post, we learned about configuring a stand alone hornetq server and basic configuration. Lets take the example forward.
In this post, we will learn the mechanism of sending JMS messages to a queue on hornetq server and then we will retrieve those messages.
Step 1) Create a maven project using below command and convert it to eclipse java project
mvn archetype:generate -DgroupId=com.howtodoinjava -DartifactId=HornetQHelloWorld -DarchetypeArtifactId=maven-archetype-quickstart -DinteractiveMode=false cd HornetQHelloWorld mvn eclipse:eclipse
step 2) Update pom.xml file and update the project dependencies
pom.xml
<project xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"

</project>
Step 3) Place the basic hornetq configuration file in classpath.
hornetq-configuration.xml
<?xml version="1.0"?> <configuration xsi:schemaLocation="urn:hornetq /schema/hornetq-configuration.xsd" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns="urn:hornetq"> <connectors> <connector name="netty-connector"> <factory-class>org.hornetq.integration.transports.netty.NettyConnectorFactory </factory-class> </connector> </connectors> <acceptors> <acceptor name="netty-acceptor"> <factory-class>org.hornetq.integration.transports.netty.NettyAcceptorFactory </factory-class> </acceptor> </acceptors> <security-enabled>false</security-enabled> </configuration>
Step 4) Configure the connector factory and place the configuration file in classpath.
hornetq-jms.xml
<?xml version="1.0"?> <configuration xsi:schemaLocation="urn:hornetq /schema/hornetq-jms.xsd" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns="urn:hornetq"> <!--the connection factory used by the example --> <connection-factory name="ConnectionFactory"> <connectors> <connector-ref connector-name="netty-connector" /> </connectors> <entries> <entry name="ConnectionFactory" /> </entries> </connection-factory> <queue name="exampleQueue"> <entry name="exampleQueue" /> </queue> </configuration>
Step 5) Start the server and test the messaging code

}
finally

connection.close();

}

Hi ,Thanks for such a good demo with example.but i have to use topic instead of queue how will i configure and where can i configure it?
Jeff Berkowitz
Warning note to those who may discover this post: an important API used in this tutorial:
ConnectionFactory cf = HornetQJMSClient.createConnectionFactory(transportConfiguration);
does not even exist in later versions of HornetQ.

Great, it works! Many thanks Lokesh! 😉

Hi lokesh,
I am new to hornetQ,i need to implement hornetQ in my SMS application which is presently using database Queue,can you please give me some suggestions how to start.
thanks in advance
Kumar Shorav
HI Lokesh,
Thanks for your tutorial. I would ike to know about integration of restful service developed in JAX-RS jersey. I am deploying it on JBoss AS 7.1. Now I have to use JMS in which MOM would be Hornetq Server to achieve asynchronous messaging. So, now I would like to know that how to integrate/call web service by url or by any means to get the result in json. My web service will return json string. How to achieve this. I am naive in JMS. However, i am going through the concept of JMS. I found the onMessage() method can be used. But I am not clear on this. Please provide me guidance and help with some sample piece of code.
thanks
Kumar Shorav
Lokesh Gupta
I need to think on this. Will revert.
Kumar Shorav
ok..thank u very much

actually no, because I need to use 2.2.5.Final version .
Lokesh Gupta
Above message appears only when hornetq-*.xml files are not present in classpath. Please copy them manually in they are not in classes folder.
Apart from this, you will need to upgrade netty version also. In my system, current set of dependencies are :
4.0.0
com.howtodoinjava
HornetQHelloWorld
jar
1.0-SNAPSHOT
HornetQHelloWorld
http://maven.apache.org
junit

Also, remove all temp file in data folder. This can create problem. In my system, I am able to start the server with above changes but getting exception when sending the message:

Tried to follow this nice tutorial however I keep getting this error:

using hornerq 2.2.5.Final so this line changed: ConnectionFactory cf = (ConnectionFactory)HornetQJMSClient.createConnectionFactoryWithoutHA(JMSFactoryType.CF,transportConfiguration);
any idea how to fix it
Lokesh Gupta
Can you please confirm if you tried with HornetQ 2.0.0 version? It will help in narrowing down the problem.
