Retrieving a message from JBoss JMS Queue

How do I retrieve a message that is in the JMS Queue? I was looking at this solution: Jboss Messaging JMS, but that just sends and receives right away. If the server restarted, how can I retrieve the message with Java code?
I haven't found anything online; unless, of course, I totally misunderstood how JMS Queues work.

The current version of JBoss uses HornetQ for JMS messaging.
If you are using Java JMS client code your are and attaching to a clustered messaging broker instance, your client should failover to another node.
In a single instance broker configuration, you will get a JMS exception in the client code. This means that you will need to get a new connection and start a new session.

The jnp protocol and ports are for JBoss Messaging.

Depending on your use-case, you can use a tool like JMSToolBox to browse/post/delete etc.. the content of JBoss/HornetQ destinations

You have to make a QueueBrowserand enumerate through them. Example code:
// Create the connection
InitialContext context = new InitialContext(properties);
QueueConnectionFactory queueConnFactory = (QueueConnectionFactory) context.lookup("ConnectionFactory");
QueueConnection conn = queueConnFactory.createQueueConnection();
Queue queue = (Queue) context.lookup("/queue/Test");
QueueSession session = conn.createQueueSession(false, QueueSession.AUTO_ACKNOWLEDGE);
// Start the connection
conn.start()
// Create a QueueBrowser using the session
QueueBrowser queueBrowser = session.createBrowser(queue);
Enumeration e = queueBrowser.getEnumeration();
// Iterate through the queue
while(e.hasMoreElements()) {
Message msg = (Message) e.nextElement();
TextMessage txtMsg = (TextMessage) msg;
System.out.println(txtMsg.getText());
}
As this is just an example, you can change the TextMessage part to suit your needs.

Java on ServiceBus for Windows Server- Options?

What are the options available to develop Java applications using Service Bus for Windows?
Java Message Broker API - This need ACS to work with, which SB for Win doesnt support.
AMQP - This doesnt seem to work on SB for Windows, I keep getting error
org.apache.qpid.amqp_1_0.client.Sender$SenderCreationException: Peer did not create remote endpoint for link, target:
While the same code works with Azure SB. So AMQP on SB for Windows seems to be not fully working?
Correct me if I have missed something?
Update
To test AMQP on local machine, this is what I did
Installed Service bus 1.1 on my local machine
Took the sample mentioned here http://www.windowsazure.com/en-us/develop/java/how-to-guides/service-bus-amqp/
Created a new namespace on my local machine
Specified the following connection string in servicebus.properties (which is correctly referred in the code
connectionfactory.SBCF = amqps://<username>:<password>#<MachineName>:5671/StringAnalyzerNS/
queue.QUEUE = queue1
Code is updated with certificates.
At runtime I get this error

javax.jms.JMSException: Session remotely closed
With the same code If I point to Azure service bus by setting the SB namespace and queue like below

Hi we had the same problems and thankfully MS updated their documentation to show how to do this correctly. :
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dn574799.aspx

The simplest answer to the question is as you should URL Encode the SASPolicyKey.
connectionfactory.SBCF = amqps://[SASPolicyName]:[SASPolicyKey]#[namespace].servicebus.windows.net
Where SASPolicyKey should be URL-Encoded.

AMQP 1.0 is supported with Service Bus 1.1 for windows server. Basically there are two differences between the cloud and on-prem usage of AMQP in ServiceBus:
1. Addressing: You will need to build an AMQP connection strings (and will need DNS in case you're looking for HA)
2. Authentication: You will need to use domain joined accounts as ACS is not there on-prem. You will also need to distribute your SB certificate to your clients.

Ok, I have sorted the first issue (Java Message Broker API not supporting SAS endpoint), by writing a wrapper which will seamlessly work with existing API. You can get the library from this GitHub repository. With this, I can develop/test my Java application on local service bus environment and host it on Azure / On-Premise Service Bus farm.
https://github.com/Dhana-Krishnasamy/ServiceBusForWindows-SASWrapper

The sender and receiver Queues you will have to configure differently. Here is an example of my working configuration (servicebus.properties):
connectionfactory.SBCF = amqps://$PolicyName:$UrlEncodedKey#$Your-EventHub-NamespaceName.servicebus.windows.net
queue.EventHubSender=$YourEventHubName
queue.EventHubReceiver=$YourEventHubName/ConsumerGroups/$YourConsumerGroupName/Partitions/1
Replace appropriately your own '$' items in there.
The Shared Policy Key has to be URL encoded.
Make sure that your sender will reference the 'EventHubSender' defined in this config and the receiver will reference the 'EventHubReciever'.

Grab the Azure Java SDK from http://www.windowsazure.com/en-us/develop/java/ and then follow this guide: http://www.windowsazure.com/en-us/develop/java/how-to-guides/service-bus-queues/

JMS Connectionfactory gives NullPointerException in TomEE+ 1.5.1 Servlet

I'm testing out TomEE+ because it wraps a lot of features I need in a new system. Apache ActiveMQ being one of them. But I have some difficulties getting the JMS to work, and my efforts to find a solution havent yielded any results. I even tried to google for an answer!
Even when I try the "out-of-the-box" example:
import javax.annotation.Resource;
import javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet;
import javax.jms.Topic;
import javax.jms.Queue;
import javax.jms.ConnectionFactory;
public class MyServet extends HttpServlet {
#Resource(name = "foo")
private Topic fooTopic;
#Resource(name = "bar")
private Queue barQueue;
#Resource
private ConnectionFactory connectionFactory;
#Override
protected void doGet(HttpServletRequest req, HttpServletResponse resp) throws ServletException, IOException {
//...
Connection connection = connectionFactory.createConnection();
connection.start();
// Create a Session
Session session = connection.createSession(false, Session.AUTO_ACKNOWLEDGE);
// Create a MessageProducer from the Session to the Topic or Queue
MessageProducer producer = session.createProducer(fooTopic);
producer.setDeliveryMode(DeliveryMode.NON_PERSISTENT);
// Create a message
TextMessage message = session.createTextMessage("Hello World!");
// Tell the producer to send the message
producer.send(message);
//...
}
}
I get the same problems, my ConnectionFactory is null. When I debug I can see that this is the case with all my #Resource annotated members. I would think that my members would be instanciated through injection when correctly annotated?
I tried to add this to my tomee.xml, with no result:
<Resource id="MyJmsResourceAdapter" type="ActiveMQResourceAdapter">
BrokerXmlConfig = broker:(tcp://localhost:61616)
ServerUrl = tcp://localhost:61616
</Resource>
<Resource id="MyJmsConnectionFactory" type="javax.jms.ConnectionFactory">
ResourceAdapter = MyJmsResourceAdapter
</Resource>
<Container id="MyJmsMdbContainer" ctype="MESSAGE">
ResourceAdapter = MyJmsResourceAdapter
</Container>
<Resource id="bar" type="javax.jms.Queue"/>
<Resource id="foo" type="javax.jms.Topic"/>
Still I get a NullPointerException when I run the example. Any suggestions as to where I might be missing something. Besides the addition to the tomee.xml I am running the 1.5.1 version of TomEE+ with nothing changed.
Thanks in advance

Change the connection factory resource code to following. It should work
#Resource(name = "MyJMSConnectionFactory", type = ConnectionFactory.class)
private ConnectionFactory connectionFactory;

can anyone please help me with this.

The answer is in the stack trace. In a stand-alone application, you should pass an environment (implementation, urls, etc) to the InitialContext. Inside a J2EE container like JBoss, your code will work.
This should help:
NoInitialContextException error

What the responder above meant was that the tutorial would help you send messages to a receiver on the same application server. A lot more is needed for remote lookups
