How to connect to RabbitMQ using RabbitMQ JMS client from an existing JMS application?

Question

I have a generic standalone JMS application which works with following JMS providers WebSphere, HornetQ and ActiveMq. I pass Context.INITIAL_CONTEXT_FACTORY and Context.PROVIDER

Answer 1

We can generate the .bindings file for RabbitMQ using below java code:

import java.util.Properties;
import javax.jms.ConnectionFactory;
import javax.jms.Queue;
import javax.jms.Topic;
import javax.naming.Context;
import javax.naming.InitialContext;
import javax.naming.Reference;
import javax.naming.StringRefAddr;

Properties env = new Properties();
    env.put(Context.INITIAL_CONTEXT_FACTORY, "com.sun.jndi.fscontext.RefFSContextFactory");
    env.put(Context.PROVIDER_URL, "file:bindings");
    Context ctx = new InitialContext(env);

    Reference connectionFactoryRef = new Reference(ConnectionFactory.class.getName(), RMQObjectFactory.class.getName(), null);
    connectionFactoryRef.add(new StringRefAddr("name", "jms/ConnectionFactory"));
    connectionFactoryRef.add(new StringRefAddr("type", ConnectionFactory.class.getName()));
    connectionFactoryRef.add(new StringRefAddr("factory", RMQObjectFactory.class.getName()));
    connectionFactoryRef.add(new StringRefAddr("host", "$JMS_RABBITMQ_HOST$"));
    connectionFactoryRef.add(new StringRefAddr("port", "$JMS_RABBITMQ_PORT$"));
    ctx.rebind("ConnectionFactory", connectionFactoryRef);

    String jndiAppend = "jndi";
    for (int i = 1; i <= 10; i++) {
        String name = String.format("queue%02d", i);
        Reference ref = new Reference(Queue.class.getName(), com.rabbitmq.jms.admin.RMQObjectFactory.class.getName(), null);
        ref.add(new StringRefAddr("name", "jms/Queue"));
        ref.add(new StringRefAddr("type", Queue.class.getName()));
        ref.add(new StringRefAddr("factory", RMQObjectFactory.class.getName()));
        ref.add(new StringRefAddr("destinationName", name));
        ctx.rebind(name+jndiAppend, ref);

        name = String.format("topic%02d", i);
        ref = new Reference(Topic.class.getName(), com.rabbitmq.jms.admin.RMQObjectFactory.class.getName(), null);
        ref.add(new StringRefAddr("name", "jms/Topic"));
        ref.add(new StringRefAddr("type", Topic.class.getName()));
        ref.add(new StringRefAddr("factory", RMQObjectFactory.class.getName()));
        ref.add(new StringRefAddr("destinationName", name));
        ctx.rebind(name+jndiAppend, ref);
    }
