Note

When configuring JMS with ActiveMQ, you can append ActiveMQ-specific properties to the value of the java.naming.provider.url property. For example, you can set the redeliveryDelay and initialRedeliveryDelay properties when configuring a JMS inbound endpoint as follows:

<parameter name="java.naming.provider.url">tcp://localhost:61616?jms.redeliveryPolicy.redeliveryDelay=10000&amp;jms.redeliveryPolicy.initialRedeliveryDelay=10000</parameter>

...

To enable the JMS transport sender, un-comment the following configuration in <ESB_HOME>/repository/conf/axis2/axis2.xml file.  

Code Block
languagehtml/xml
<transportSender name="jms" class="org.apache.axis2.transport.jms.JMSSender"/>
Info
For details on the JMS configuration parameters used in the code segments above, see JMS Connection Factory Parameters.
Info

The above configurations do not address the problem of transient failures of ActiveMQ message broker. Let's say for some reason ActiveMQ goes down and comes back up after a while. ESB won't reconnect to ActiveMQ but instead it'll throw some errors as requests are sent to ESB till it is restarted. In order to tackle this issue one needs to add the following configuration in the place of the java.naming.provider.url,

failover:tcp://localhost:61616

This will simply make sure re-connection takes place when ActiveMQ is up and running. Failover prefix is associated with the Failover Transport of ActiveMQ. For further information about this please try The Failover Transport.

You now have instances of ActiveMQ and WSO2 ESB configured, up and running. Next, refer to section JMS Usecases for implementation details of various JMS use cases.

Note
titleNote

When working with JMS message stores, if you are using ActiveMQ 5.12.2 and above, you need to set the following system property on server start up for WSO2 ESB's JMS message store to work as expected.

Code Block
languagebash
-Dorg.apache.activemq.SERIALIZABLE_PACKAGES=“*"

With ActiveMQ 5.12.2 and above, you need to set the above property because users are enforced to explicitly whitelist packages that can be exchanged using ObjectMessages, and due to this restriction the message processor fails to read messages from ActiveMQ with the following error:

Code Block
languagebash
ERROR - JmsConsumer [JMS-C-1] cannot receive message from store. Error:Failed to build body from content. Serializable class not available to broker. Reason: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: Forbidden class org.apache.synapse.message.store.impl.commons.StorableMessage! This class is not trusted to be serialized as ObjectMessage payload.

Connecting multiple ActiveMQ brokers  

The WSO2 ESB can be configured as explained in the following procedure in order to work with two ActiveMQ brokers. In this example, port 61616 is used for one ActiveMQ instance and port 61617 is used for the other.

...

 Add another transport receiver to the <ESB_Home>/repository/conf/axis2/axis2.xml file as follows. Note that the name of the transport receiver is different to that of the transport receiver already entered. The port specified is 61617.

  2.  Start another ActiveMQ instance.
  3.  Add another transport receiver to the <ESB_Home>/repository/conf/axis2/axis2.xml file as follows. Note that the name of the transport receiver is different to that of the transport receiver already entered. The port specified is 61617.

               </transportReceiver>
  4. Set up the JMS sender as explained in Setting up the JMS sender.

Configuring Redelivery in ActiveMQ Queues

 When WSO2 ESB is configured to consume messages from an ActiveMQ queue, you have the option to configure message re-delivery. This is useful when messages are unable to be processed by ESB due to failures.  

  1. Enable the JMS listener as explained in Setting up the JMS listener.
  2. Add the following JMS parameters into the proxy service configuration in WSO2 ESB:

    Code Block
    languagexml
    <parameter name="java.naming.provider.url" locked="false">tcp://localhost:61617</parameter>
              redeliveryPolicy.maximumRedeliveries">1</parameter>
    <parameter name="transport.jms.ConnectionFactoryJNDIName" locked="false">QueueConnectionFactory<DestinationType">queue</parameter>
                <parameter name="transport.jms.ConnectionFactoryTypeSessionTransacted">true</parameter>
    <parameter lockedname="false">queue<transport.jms.Destination">JMStoHTTPStockQuoteProxy</parameter>
           <<parameter name="redeliveryPolicy.redeliveryDelay">2000</parameter>
       </transportReceiver>

     

  3. Set up the JMS sender as explained in Setting up the JMS sender.

 

Configuring Redelivery ActiveMQ Queues

 

When WSO2 ESB is configured to consume messages from an ActiveMQ queue, you have the option to configure message re-delivery. This is useful when messages are unable to be processed by ESB due to failures.  

  1. Enable the JMS listener as explained in Setting up the JMS listener.
  2. Add the following JMS parameters into the proxy service configuration in WSO2 ESB:

    Code Block
    languagexml
    <parameter name="redeliveryPolicy.maximumRedeliveries">1</parameter>
    <parameter name="transport.jms.DestinationType">queue</parameter>
    <parameter name="transport.jms.SessionTransacted">true</parameter>
    <parameter name="transport.jms.Destination">JMStoHTTPStockQuoteProxy</parameter>
    <parameter name="redeliveryPolicy.redeliveryDelay">2000</parameter>
    <parameter name="transport.jms.CacheLevel">consumer</parameter>

    Parameters

    • redeliveryPolicy.maximumRedeliveries: Maximum number of retries for delivering the message. If set to -1 ActiveMQ will retry inifinitely.
    • transport.jms.SessionTransacted: When set to true, this enables the JMS session transaction for the proxy service.
    • redeliveryPolicy.redeliveryDelay: Delay time in milliseconds between retries.
    • transport.jms.CacheLevel: This needs to be set to consumer for the ActiveMQ redelivery mechanism to work. 
  1. <parameter name="transport.jms.CacheLevel">consumer</parameter>

    Parameters

    • redeliveryPolicy.maximumRedeliveries: Maximum number of retries for delivering the message. If set to -1 ActiveMQ will retry inifinitely.
    • transport.jms.SessionTransacted: When set to true, this enables the JMS session transaction for the proxy service.
    • redeliveryPolicy.redeliveryDelay: Delay time in milliseconds between retries.
    • transport.jms.CacheLevel: This needs to be set to consumer for the ActiveMQ redelivery mechanism to work. 
  2. Add the following line in your fault sequence:

    <property name="SET_ROLLBACK_ONLY" value="true" scope="axis2"/>
    Info
    titleSET_ROLLBACK_ONLY
    This parameter must be defined for ActiveMQ to redeliver the message.
    When ESB is unable to deliver a message to the back-end service due to an error, it will be routed to the fault sequence in the ESB configuration. When "SET_ROLLBACK_ONLY" property is set in the fault sequence, ESB informs ActiveMQ to redeliver the message. 

        Below is a sample proxy service configuration:

Code Block
languagexml
<proxy xmlns="http://ws.apache.org/ns/synapse"
       name="JMStoHTTPStockQuoteProxy"
       transports="jms"
       statistics="disable"

       startOnLoad="true">
   <target>
      <inSequence>
