JBoss Messaging Topic Example

$Revision: 2751 $

Overview

This example creates a JMS Connection to a JBoss Messaging instance and uses it to create a session, a publisher and a subscriber. The publisher sends a message to the topic. The example is considered successful if the topic subscriber receives the message.

This example relies on having access to a running JBoss Messaging instance. The JBoss Messaging instance must be installed and started according to the "Installation" paragraph from the release documentation. However, the example will automatically deploy its own topic, unless a topic with the same name is already deployed.

This example also relies on having access to jboss-messaging-client.jar archive that comes with the release bundle. If you run this example from an unzipped installation bundle, the example run script is correctly configured to find the client jar. Otherwise, you must modify example's build.xml accordingly.

Running the example

1. Set up the JBOSS_HOME environment variable to point to the JBoss instance you deployed JBoss Messaging into. For example, if you deployed JBoss Messaging in C:\jboss-4.2.0.GA\server\default\deploy, then your JBOSS_HOME value should be C:\jboss-4.2.0.GA.

2. Go to the example's home directory

cd ...\examples\topic

3. Run the example:

ant

The output of a successful run should be similar to:

$ ant
Buildfile: build.xml

identify:
     [echo] XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
     [echo] X                       Running the TOPIC example                         X
     [echo] XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
     [echo] The topic: testTopic

sanity-check:

init:
    [mkdir] Created dir: C:\work\src\cvs\jboss-head\jms\docs\examples\topic\output
    [mkdir] Created dir: C:\work\src\cvs\jboss-head\jms\docs\examples\common\output

compile:
    [javac] Compiling 2 source files to C:\work\src\cvs\jboss-head\jms\docs\examples\common\output
    [javac] Compiling 2 source files to C:\work\src\cvs\jboss-head\jms\docs\examples\topic\output

run:
     [java] Topic /topic/testTopic exists
     [java] The message was successfully published on the topic
     [java] Received message: Hello!
     [java] The example connected to JBoss Messaging version 1.2.0.GA (1.2)

Troublesooting

1. I get "javax.jms.JMSSecurityException: User null is NOT authenticated"

You probably didn't install JBoss Messaging correctly. A fresh JBoss Messaging installation requires changes in the security configuration of a default JBoss instance, specifically a properly configured "messaging" security domain. Follow the instructions from the "Installation" paragraph of the release documentation.
