JBoss Messaging disable persistence - jboss

I have few questions
1. How I can disable persistence for JBoss Messaging?
2. Is there any way to check that persistence was successfully disabled? (MBean or something else)
3. Maybe anybody knows tricks which will help me to disable persistence for specified queue not for all JBoss Messaging
Could you help me please :)
Enterprise Platform 4.3.0GA_CP06

For Q1, the JMS persistence configuration is placed in path server/default/deploy/jms/<db>-xxx-service.xml, to disable persistence, you can follow the file docs/examples/jms/null-persistence-service.xml.
For Q2, I think it depend on your current persistence config, or you can try 1) produce message, 2) restart jboss, 3) inspect available messages.
Hope it helps.

jBPM Repositories disappear after Wildfly restart

Pardon if I can't give more pointers, but I'm really a noob at wildfly. I'm using version 9.0.2.
I have deployed jbpm-console, drools, and dashboard - no problems here. I restart wildfly using the jboss CLI, and when I login again, the repositories won't appear in the web interface or on disk (atleast nothing that grepping or find will show).
I'm using the H2 database. I'm not even sure where to look, does anyone have any idea?
Thanks in advance!
After enough reading through the docs, it would seem that it's necessary to configure jBPM to persist. From the docs:
"By default, the engine does not save runtime data persistently. This means you can use the engine completely without persistence (so not even requiring an in memory database) if necessary, for example for performance reasons, or when you would like to manage persistence yourself. It is, however, possible to configure the engine to do use persistence by configuring it to do so. This usually requires adding the necessary dependencies, configuring a datasource and creating the engine with persistence configured."

Determining version of jboss programmatically between jboss 5 and 7

I'm trying to find the best way to grammatically determine if my program is running on Jboss 5 or Jboss 7 (eap-6.1). The ways I've been finding so far are jboss 5 or jboss 7 specific, which doesn't work because the code has to work in both. Tried both solutions from here: How do I programmatically obtain the version in JBoss AS 5.1? and they didn't work. One complained about org.jboss.Main not existing in jboss 7, the other complained aobut not finidng "jmx/rmi/RMIAdaptor".
The only way I can see is to do Class.forName to look for "org.jboss.Version" (should be found if jboss 5) and if that fails, do Class.forName "org.jboss.util.xml.catalog.Version" (jboss 7). But that seems like a terrible idea.
The reason I need to know if the war is running on jboss 5 or 7 is because there are some custom files that are located in different places in both. So it's like "if jboss 5, execute this piece of code, if jboss 7 execute the other.
Ok i just saw what the problem is.
I would suggest you to think about design issues/refactoring of your software.
If you want to provide your software within different environments, seperate your logic from
technology dependencies.
Build facedes and interfaces to meet environmental requironments.
In my oppionen thats much better as to think we must support all integration platforms and support all there versions. This is completely impossible.
So decouple your business logic and offer specific interfaces. These interfaces (adapters) are much simplier to implement and to maintain.
Hope it helps.
UPDATE DUE TO COMMENT.
I think a solution is for servers 4 to 6 is to use
the MBean Server of JBoss to lookup the registered web application
which is associated to the deployed WarFile.
I suggest first to lookup the registered MBean of the web application manually using the JBoss jmx-console. The name of the WebApplication should be found under the capital "web" or "web-deployment" within the jmx-console.
If you found that name you can implement an own jmx based lookup mechanism
to check for that name.
Here is an Tutorial: pretty old but i think it gives you an idea how to do.
There must be more tutorials for this problem:
http://www.theserverside.com/news/1364648/Using-JMX-to-Manage-Web-Applications
Within JBoss 7 i just can give you the hint that its architecture is based on OSGI. So to lookup for other services you should have a look to this mechanism.
In any case you don't have direct access to the file system and the deployment directory
from an application which is deployed within a JEE container, except of
using the mechanisms provided by the container. JNDI Lookup, JMX ManagedBean mechanism, Java Connector Archicture (JCA) (makes no sense in your case)
It's not an answer just an suggestions since the implementations are completely different
One way could be to use the "interceptors" which are executed during bootstrap and before any ejb invocation and there you have access to the invocation context in other words ejb container.
I can't give you any example but this would be an access point to start.
Another accesspoint is to check for system wide JMX Beans by looking through the
Adminstratore console of the JBoss Server.
You can inject JMX Bean state into your application through the Context Mechansim.
Take a look from Version 4 to 6 at the JMX Managed Bean mechanism. The JMX Achitecture is the main concept of JBoss 3 to 6, so at this point you can influence and maintain the JBoss behaviour.
Aditionally i think you have differences from 4 to 6.x version and 7.0 because since
7 it's a completely new architecture. Since 7.0 the JMX architecture doens't exists anymore.

Jboss clustered env and communicate via jms (dependencies)

I'm connecting via jms, and I have had problems with sending jms messages until I add all jars from jboss client folder. It solved the problem but my app weight now +5MB and I'm sure that not all ofthem are required. How can i check which jars are really needed? Please dont tell me I have to remove one by one :)
I also want to ask U about jboss.jar I cant find groupId artifactId for jboss 5.1.0.GA help..
I lifted this from think 1.3 docs I think your up in the 1.4's somwhere
*
jboss-messaging-client.jar - This is available in the messaging distribution
*
jbossall-client.jar - This is available in your $JBOSS_HOME/client directory
*
$JBOSS_HOME/server/<SERVER_NAME>/deploy/jboss-aop.deployer/jboss-aop.jar
JBoss AOP 1.5.5.GA+
http://repository.jboss.com/jboss/aop/1.5.5.GA/lib/
(For AOP, sometimes you have to use a specific JAR according to your JVM of choice. Use the most convenient for you)
*
$JBOSS_HOME/server/<SERVER_NAME>/lib/javassist.jar

If you look at the community documentation under "Connecting from a remote client" you should get your answer

TC Server Vs JBoss Server

We are planning to migrate to a new WebServer (bye bye Websphere), the main considerations are
transaction management
persistence
message/event handling
maintainability
distributed architecture
MBD/EJB support
We are very happy with TC Server but the only problem is that it does not support EJB's and MDB's and we use them pretty heavily here, I head that you can use TC Server and JBoss together, did anybody try using it that way or is there other way that we can use EJB's and MDB's with TC Server ?
Any help appreciated
/srm
If by TC you mean Apache's Tomcat, then yes: JBoss AS is bundled with an embedded Tomcat Servlet/JSP container. So, if you are happy with Tomcat, then JBoss might be a good option for you. And it supports all things you've mentioned.
JTA
JPA/Hibernate
JMS and MDB
Yes, you can have JBoss AS in cluster provided your application supports it
Of course. JavaEE containers must support MDB and EJB.

JMS without JNDI?

We are running portlets in WebSphere 6.01, using Java 1.4. We want to send JMS messages to a JBoss 5 queue, running Java 5 (or maybe 6, but it's certainly newer than 1.4). Trying to connect using JNDI is not working, since we have to include the JBoss client jars in the classpath of the portlet, and they are Java 1.5. So I get an unsupported major/minor error when I try to create the InitialContext.
Can we connect straight to JBoss without using JNDI? Or is there some way to get around this issue I can't think of?
Even if you were able to connect to JMS without going through JBoss's JNDI, you would still need to include the JBoss client JAR in order to use JMS. Both JNDI and JMS are APIs, and you need the server's implementation of that client API in order to talk to the server.
If it's just your JNDI classes that prereq Java 5 and not the JBoss classes then you can do this. But you would have to set all of the properties of the objects and that is provider-specific. The WebSphere MQ JMS samples show how to do this with WMQ and you would need to know the property and value names for JBoss to make the equivalent code. Here is a code snippet from the WMQ JmsProducer.java sample:
JmsFactoryFactory ff = JmsFactoryFactory.getInstance(WMQConstants.WMQ_PROVIDER);
JmsConnectionFactory cf = ff.createConnectionFactory();
// Set the properties
cf.setStringProperty(WMQConstants.WMQ_HOST_NAME, host);
cf.setIntProperty(WMQConstants.WMQ_PORT, port);
cf.setStringProperty(WMQConstants.WMQ_CHANNEL, channel);
cf.setIntProperty(WMQConstants.WMQ_CONNECTION_MODE, WMQConstants.WMQ_CM_CLIENT);
cf.setStringProperty(WMQConstants.WMQ_QUEUE_MANAGER, queueManagerName);
// Create JMS objects
connection = cf.createConnection();
session = connection.createSession(false, Session.AUTO_ACKNOWLEDGE);
if (isTopic) {
destination = session.createTopic(destinationName);
}
else {
destination = session.createQueue(destinationName);
}
producer = session.createProducer(destination);
On the other hand, if your JBoss classes prereq Java 1.5 then you need to run Java 1.5 or better.
Depending on the JBoss version you can directly instantiate all the JMS objects.
One particular version:
see http://www.jboss.org/file-access/default/members/jbossmessaging/freezone/docs/usermanual-2.0.0.beta1/html/using-jms.html
(Section 5.5. Directly instantiating JMS Resources without using JNDI)
I think JNDI is the only way that you can create JMS connection factories and destinations (queue or topic), and these are your means of communication.
In fact using JNDI is a way to be independant of the JMS provider, because you can easly change it.
But if you've got no problem with that most provider offer facilities to create a connection factory and destinations
It sounds like the problem isn't with JNDI but with the conflicting classnames between the environments.
You could try doing the classloading yourself when you try to instantiate the JBOSS client classes. That way you get a separate classloader from the one that loaded the Portlet. Just make sure you understand whether you need Parent-first or Parent-last behavior. Also on that page is debugging classloading which can show you how to set the Classpath for the classloader so you can isolate the JBOSS libraries and avoid classname collisions. It is a good resource for understanding even advanced classloading issues.
