Asynchronous JMS queue MessageListener throws NameNotfoundException

[ErikHellman]

I have problem with a JMS MessageListener. My bean (MessageQueueListener) implements the MessageListener interface. I then have a remote queue that my bean should listen for new messages on. However, when I start my application (a webapp in JBoss 4), I get a the following error:

org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error creating bean with name 'jmsDestination' defined in ServletContext resource [/WEB-INF/applicationContext-hibernate.xml]: Invocation
 of init method failed; nested exception is javax.naming.NameNotFoundException:  not bound
Caused by:
javax.naming.NameNotFoundException:  not bound
        at org.jnp.server.NamingServer.getBinding(NamingServer.java:529)
        at org.jnp.server.NamingServer.getBinding(NamingServer.java:537)
        at org.jnp.server.NamingServer.getObject(NamingServer.java:543)

The strange thing is that when I do all the lookup programmatically (with the same values as below) and query the queue synchronously, everything works. My Spring configuration for the asynchronous message listener looks like this:

<bean id="messageListener" class="com.company.jms.MessageQueueListener">
    <property name="chId" value="84527"/>
    <property name="manager" ref="managerProxy"/>
</bean>

<bean id="connectionFactory" class="org.springframework.jndi.JndiObjectFactoryBean">
    <property name="jndiEnvironment">
        <props>
            <prop key="java.naming.factory.initial">org.jnp.interfaces.NamingContextFactory</prop>
            <prop key="java.naming.provider.url">jnp://remote.server.com:1099</prop>
            <prop key="java.naming.factory.url.pkgs">org.jnp.interfaces:org.jboss.naming</prop>
            <prop key="java.naming.security.principal">username</prop>
            <prop key="java.naming.security.credentials">password</prop>
        </props>
    </property>
    <property name="jndiName" value="java:/ConnectionFactory"/>
    <property name="resourceRef" value="true"/>
</bean>

<bean id="jmsDestination" class="org.springframework.jndi.JndiObjectFactoryBean">
    <property name="jndiName" value="/queue/RemoteQueue"/>
    <property name="resourceRef" value="true"/>
</bean>

<bean id="listenerContainer" class="org.springframework.jms.listener.SimpleMessageListenerContainer">
    <property name="concurrentConsumers" value="1"/>
    <property name="connectionFactory" ref="connectionFactory"/>
    <property name="destination" ref="jmsDestination"/>
    <property name="messageListener" ref="messageListener"/>
</bean>

Anyone have any idea what I'm doing wrong?

Thanks in advance!

You could try setting the "lookupOnStartup" flag of your JndiObjectFactoryBeans to "false". Maybe the JNDI entries are not fully initialized yet on context loading.

Hope that helps,
Andreas

Ok, I tried that but I get a different exception at startup:

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Cannot deactivate 'lookupOnStartup' 
or 'cache' without specifying a 'proxyInterface'

I added a proxyInterface property to my JndiObjectFactoryBeans also, but I'm a bit unsure. I set the value to "javax.jms.ConnectionFactory" for the connectionFactory bean and to "javax.jms.Destination" for the jmsDestination bean, but that resulted in the following exception at startup:

org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error creating bean with name 'listenerContainer' defined in ServletContext 
resource [/WEB-INF/applicationContext-hibernate.xml]: Invocation of init 
method failed; nested exception 
is java.lang.reflect.UndeclaredThrowableException
Caused by: java.lang.reflect.UndeclaredThrowableException

Tried searching on the proxyInterface-property with little success. Any suggestion on what I should use?

Thanks!

You may try javax.jms.Queue instead of Destination. Besides that: Is there probably more information in the stacktrace? The excerpt seems a little bit short.

You may try javax.jms.Queue instead of Destination.

My bad. Changed to javax.jms.Queue instead and got a bit further. Now I'm getting:

This exception repeats itself every 2-3 seconds. When I use tcpdump to see if any communication occurs between my server and the remote server where the queue is located I see that both sides sends data, so at least there is not a connection issue.

[Andreas Senft]

I just see that you provide a jndi environment for looking up the ConnectionFactory but not for the queue.
Further you prefix one jndi name with "java:" and the other not.

As the underlying reason seems to be a "NameNotFoundException" I would check these settings.
