Wildfly 11 connection to remote Artemis ActiveMQ s

Question

It appears that the netty-connector to the remote client is not happy! For now, I have active my running on my local machine with the standard 616161 port. I followed the directions at https://docs.jboss.org/author/display/WFLY/Connect+a+pooled-connection-factory+to+a+Remote+Artemis+Server

Here is the error:

All messaging (both sending and receiving) is to be from the active mq server as the producer/consumer of the messages is legacy using ActiveMQ.

Added to my xml configuration copies from standard-full.xml

<socket-binding-group name="standard-sockets" default-interface="public" port-offset="${jboss.socket.binding.port-offset:0}">
             …
    <outbound-socket-binding name="remote-artemis">
        <remote-destination host="localhost" port="61616"/>
    </outbound-socket-binding>
    </socket-binding-group>

<subsystem xmlns="urn:jboss:domain:messaging-activemq:2.0">
        <server name="default">
                            <remote-connector name="remote-artemis" socket-binding="remote-artemis"/>
                            ……
                            <pooled-connection-factory name="remote-artemis" entries="java:/jms/remoteCF" connectors="remote-artemis" transaction="xa" user="admin" password="admin"/>
      </server>

I use a pooled connection factory because the documentation says “that it is essentially a configuration façade for both the inbound and outbound connectors of the Artemis JCA Resource Adapter.” Which is exactly what I need.

My sending code looks like:

@Resource(lookup =" java:/jms/remoteCF")//java:/JmsXA java:jboss/DefaultJMSConnectionFactory
 static ConnectionFactory connectionFactory;

 @Resource(lookup = "java:jboss/activemq/topic/POOPOITopic")
 private static Topic pointsTopic;

try {         
    if (connectionFactory == null)
      {
          logger.severe("not finding java:/jms/remoteCF");
      }

When I try to send, I get the connectionFactory as null! My MDB looks like

@ResourceAdapter("remote-artemis")
//An MDB can be configured to use a pooled-connection-factory (e.g. using @ResourceAdapter). 
// In this context, the MDB leverages the inbound connector of the Artemis JCA RA.  Other kinds of clients    
//     can look up the pooled-connection-factory in JNDI (or inject it) and use it to send messages.  In this context, such a client would leverage the outbound connector of the Artemis JCA RA.  
@Inject
@JMSConnectionFactory("java:/jms/remoteCF")
private JMSContext context;

What am I missing? All help is greatly appreciated.

I had the same issue (also following wildfly documentation) but this worked fine.

Context jndiContext = new InitialContext();
connectionFactory =  (ConnectionFactory)jndiContext.lookup( "java:/jms/remoteCF" ); 

Be aware that what you get here is not JMSContext but ConnectionFactory. It can do all the same things it's just a different API.
