Error "Invalid broker URL" while bridging ActiveMQ Artemis 7.4 with Weblogic 12.x - weblogic12c

Question

I am trying to create bridge between Oracle 12.x and Redhat ActiveMQ Artemis 7.4. This is what has been done to set up the bridge:
Set artemis-jms-client-all-2.9.0.redhat-00005.jar to WL classpath
Set the following properties to WL classpath:
java.naming.factory.initial=org.apache.activemq.artemis.jndi.ActiveMQInitialContextFactory
connectionFactory.ConnectionFactory=amq.xaqcf.myqueue
queue.queues/myqueue=myqueue
However, I get the following error:
java.lang.Exception: javax.resource.ResourceException: ConnectionFactory: failed to get initial context (InitialContextFactory =org.apache.activemq.artemis.jndi.ActiveMQInitialContextFactory, url = tcp://brokername:61616?type=XA_CF, user name = amq)
at weblogic.jms.adapter.JMSBaseConnection.throwResourceException(JMSBaseConnection.java:1750)

-------------- Linked Exception ------------
javax.naming.NamingException: Invalid broker URL
at org.apache.activemq.artemis.jndi.ActiveMQInitialContextFactory.getInitialContext(ActiveMQInitialContextFactory.java:85)
According to ActiveMQInitialContextFactory.java, it is due to the following block:
for (Map.Entry<?, ?> entry : environment.entrySet()) {
String key = entry.getKey().toString();
if (key.startsWith(connectionFactoryPrefix)) {
String jndiName = key.substring(connectionFactoryPrefix.length());
try {
data.put(jndiName, createConnectionFactory((String) environment.get(key), jndiName));
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
throw new NamingException("Invalid broker URL");
}
}
}
Here's the exception from e.printStackTrace():
Exception: javax.naming.NameNotFoundException: amq.xaqcf.myqueue
at org.apache.activemq.artemis.jndi.ReadOnlyContext.lookup(ReadOnlyContext.java:236)
at javax.naming.InitialContext.lookup(InitialContext.java:417)
I have no issue bridging between Oracle Weblogic 12.x with ActiveMQ 6.3. A similar issue was raised here Is there a Java 1.7 compatible Artemis JMS client? but it is for Oracle SOA 10.x which uses java 1.7.
How can I make it work? Should ActiveMQInitialContextFactory.java be adapted?

Your problem is coming from the fact that you're attempting to look-up the connection factory amq.xaqcf.myqueue, but you haven't actually defined that connection factory in your JNDI properties. Instead you have this line:
connectionFactory.ConnectionFactory=amq.xaqcf.myqueue
This line actually defines a connection factory called ConnectionFactory with the URL amq.xaqcf.myqueue which is invalid. Try this instead:
connectionFactory.amq.xaqcf.myqueue=tcp://brokername:61616?type=XA_CF
The syntax for these properties is defined in the Artemis documentation.
