The remote-helloworld-mdb
quickstart demonstrates the use of JMS and EJB Message-Driven Bean in WildFly Application Server with a remote Apache Artemis broker.
This project uses two JMS resources on a remote broker:
-
A queue named
HELLOWORLDMDBQueue
bound in JNDI asjava:/queue/HELLOWORLDMDBQueue
-
A topic named
HELLOWORLDMDBTopic
bound in JNDI asjava:/topic/HELLOWORLDMDBTopic
The application this project produces is designed to be run on WildFly Application Server 31 or later.
All you need to build this project is Java 11.0 (Java SDK 11) or later and Maven 3.6.0 or later. See Configure Maven to Build and Deploy the Quickstarts to make sure you are configured correctly for testing the quickstarts.
In the following instructions, replace WILDFLY_HOME
with the actual path to your WildFly installation. The installation path is described in detail here: Use of WILDFLY_HOME and JBOSS_HOME Variables.
When you see the replaceable variable QUICKSTART_HOME, replace it with the path to the root directory of all of the quickstarts.
You can run Apache Artemis broker locally using docker or podman:
$ docker run --rm --name artemis -e AMQ_USER=admin -e AMQ_PASSWORD=admin -p8161:8161 -p61616:61616 -e AMQ_DATA_DIR=/home/jboss/data quay.io/artemiscloud/activemq-artemis-broker-kubernetes
You can access the console of Apache Artemis at the URL: http://localhost:8161/console with admin/admin to authenticate.
You configure the JMS connection factory to the remote broker by running JBoss CLI commands. For your convenience, this quickstart batches the commands into a configure-remote-broker.cli
script provided in the root directory of this quickstart.
-
Before you begin, make sure you do the following:
-
Back up the WildFly standalone server configuration as described above.
-
Start the WildFly server with the standalone full profile as described above.
-
-
Review the
configure-remote-broker.cli
file in the root of this quickstart directory. This script adds thetest
queue to themessaging-activemq
subsystem in the server configuration file. -
Open a new terminal, navigate to the root directory of this quickstart, and run the following command, replacing WILDFLY_HOME with the path to your server:
$ WILDFLY_HOME/bin/jboss-cli.sh --connect --file=configure-remote-broker.cli
NoteFor Windows, use the WILDFLY_HOME\bin\jboss-cli.bat
script. -
You should see the following result when you run the script:
"outcome" => "success", "response-headers" => {"process-state" => "reload-required"}
-
Stop the WildFly server.
After stopping the server, open the WILDFLY_HOME/standalone/configuration/standalone-full.xml
file and review the changes.
The following testQueue
jms-queue was configured in the configuration of the messaging-activemq
subsystem.
<remote-connector name="artemis" socket-binding="remote-artemis"/>
<pooled-connection-factory name="RemoteConnectionFactory" entries="java:jboss/RemoteConnectionFactory java:jboss/exported/jms/RemoteConnectionFactory" connectors="artemis" user="admin" password="admin" enable-amq1-prefix="false"/>
-
Open a terminal and navigate to the root of the WildFly directory.
-
Start the WildFly server with the full profile by typing the following command.
$ WILDFLY_HOME/bin/standalone.sh -c standalone-full.xml
NoteFor Windows, use the WILDFLY_HOME\bin\standalone.bat
script.
-
Make sure you start the WildFly server as described above.
-
Open a terminal and navigate to the root directory of this quickstart.
-
Type the following command to build the quickstart.
$ mvn clean package
-
Type the following command to deploy the quickstart.
$ mvn wildfly:deploy
This deploys the remote-helloworld-mdb/target/remote-helloworld-mdb.war
to the running instance of the server.
You should see a message in the server log indicating that the archive deployed successfully.
The application will be running at the following URL: http://localhost:8080/remote-helloworld-mdb/.
Look at the WildFly console or Server log and you should see log messages like the following:
INFO [class org.jboss.as.quickstarts.mdb.HelloWorldQueueMDB] (Thread-9 (ActiveMQ-client-global-threads-1189700957)) Received Message from queue: This is message 1

This quickstart includes integration tests, which are located under the src/test/
directory. The integration tests verify that the quickstart runs correctly when deployed on the server.
Follow these steps to run the integration tests.
-
Make sure you start the WildFly server, as previously described.
-
Make sure you build and deploy the quickstart, as previously described.
-
Type the following command to run the
verify
goal with theintegration-testing
profile activated.$ mvn verify -Pintegration-testing
Note
|
You may also use the environment variable |
This script removes the remote broker connection from the messaging-activemq
subsystem and restore the default
internal broker. You should see the following result when you run the script:
"outcome" => "success",
"response-headers" => {
"operation-requires-reload" => true,
"process-state" => "reload-required"
}
When you have completed testing the quickstart, you can restore the original server configuration by manually restoring the backup copy the configuration file.
-
If it is running, stop the WildFly server.
-
Replace the
WILDFLY_HOME/standalone/configuration/standalone-full.xml
file with the backup copy of the file.
When you are finished testing the quickstart, follow these steps to undeploy the archive.
-
Make sure you start the WildFly server as described above.
-
Open a terminal and navigate to the root directory of this quickstart.
-
Type this command to undeploy the archive:
$ mvn wildfly:undeploy
Note
|
The integration tests expect a running Apache Artemis broker, so make sure you have started the broker before you begin. |
Instead of using a standard WildFly server distribution, you can alternatively provision a WildFly server to deploy and run the quickstart, by activating the Maven profile named provisioned-server
when building the quickstart:
$ mvn clean package -Pprovisioned-server
The provisioned WildFly server, with the quickstart deployed, can then be found in the target/server
directory, and its usage is similar to a standard server distribution, with the simplification that there is never the need to specify the server configuration to be started.
The server provisioning functionality is provided by the WildFly Maven Plugin, and you may find its configuration in the quickstart pom.xml
:
<profile>
<id>provisioned-server</id>
<build>
<plugins>
<plugin>
<groupId>org.wildfly.plugins</groupId>

The integration tests included with this quickstart, which verify that the quickstart runs correctly, may also be run with a provisioned server.
Follow these steps to run the integration tests.
-
Make sure the server is provisioned.
$ mvn clean package -Pprovisioned-server
-
Start the WildFly provisioned server, this time using the WildFly Maven Plugin, which is recommended for testing due to simpler automation. The path to the provisioned server should be specified using the
jbossHome
system property.$ mvn wildfly:start -DjbossHome=target/server
-
Type the following command to run the
verify
goal with theintegration-testing
profile activated, and specifying the quickstart’s URL using theserver.host
system property, which for a provisioned server by default ishttp://localhost:8080
.$ mvn verify -Pintegration-testing -Dserver.host=http://localhost:8080
-
Shutdown the WildFly provisioned server, this time using the WildFly Maven Plugin too.
$ mvn wildfly:shutdown
On OpenShift, the S2I build with Apache Maven uses an openshift
Maven profile to provision a WildFly server, deploy and run the quickstart in OpenShift environment.
The server provisioning functionality is provided by the WildFly Maven Plugin, and you may find its configuration in the quickstart pom.xml
:
<profile>
<id>openshift</id>
