O <system-properties>
O Define in xml
O standalone.bat -P=mypropertiesfile.properties

<subsystem xmlns="urn:jboss:domain:mail:1.0">
<mail-session jndi-name="java:/Mail" debug="true">
<smtp-server outbound-socket-binding-ref="mail-smtp"/>
</mail-session>
</subsystem>

17. What’s new
O HornetQ – default JMS Provider (2.2.11)
O Jgroups API Implementation for communication
between nodes - UDP and multicast. (3.1.0.GA)
O IronJacamar - Java Connector Architecture 1.6
Implementation. (1.0.7.Final)
O Infinispan – JSR-107 compatible cache
O Handles cluster consistency
O Jolokia - JMX-HTTP bridge (JMX with JSON over
http)
O Arquillian support.
O Mod_cluster support. (mod_jk and mod_proxy still
works)
18. HornetQ
O HornetQ is an open source project to build a
multi-protocol, embeddable, very high
performance, clustered, asynchronous
messaging system.
O High performance journal mechanism for
message persistence (No database
persistence)
O Provides fully functional JMS capabilities.
O Supports JMS 1.1 API. (No code changes)
O Provides its own Messaging API.
O STOMP and REST support
19. HornetQ (contd.)
O MDB example
O No Java Impact to MDBs
@MessageDriven(name = "MDBExample",
activationConfig =
{
@ActivationConfigProperty(propertyName =
"destinationType", propertyValue = "javax.jms.Queue"),
@ActivationConfigProperty(propertyName =
"destination", propertyValue = "queue/testQueue")
})
public class MDBExample implements MessageListener
{
public void onMessage(Message message)...
}
20. HornetQ (contd.)
O Wildcards on Addresses rather than specific queue.
O filter for the destination - jms.queue.#
O Standalone-full-ha.xml
<jms-destinations>
<jms-queue name="testQueue">
<entry name="queue/test"/>
<entry name="java:jboss/exported/jms/queue/test"/>
</jms-queue>
<jms-topic name="testTopic">
<entry name="topic/test"/>
<entry name="java:jboss/exported/jms/topic/test"/>
</jms-topic>
</jms-destinations>
21. HornetQ (contd.)
O Integration with any JEE App Server must
happen via JCA (Java Connector
Architecture) Adaptor
O A JCA Adapter basically controls the inflow
of messages to Message-Driven Beans
(MDBs) and the outflow of messages sent
from other JEE components, e.g. EJBs and
Servlets.
O Anti-pattern defined. (See Image)
23. JBoss CLI - HornetQ
O See a Queue
O /subsystem=messaging/hornetq-
server=default/:read-children-
resources(child-type=jms-queue)
O Read a broadcast-group
O /subsystem=messaging/hornetq-
server=default/:read-children-names(child-
type=broadcast-group)
O Test a connection
data-source test-connection-in-pool --name=testDS
24. Jolokia
O WAR-Agent (access to your JMX beans)
O Query:
http://localhost:8080/jolokia-war-
1.0.6/read/jboss.as:subsystem=datasources,data-
source=ExampleDS/connectionUrl?ignoreErrors=true
O Result:
{"timestamp":1357502024,"status":200,"request":{"m
bean":"jboss.as:data-
source=ExampleDS,subsystem=datasources","attrib
ute":"connectionUrl","type":"read"},"value":"jdbc:h2:m
em:test;DB_CLOSE_DELAY=-1"}
25. Arquillian
O No more mocks and No more container lifecycle
and deployment
@RunWith(Arquillian.class)
public class GreeterTest {
@Deployment
public static JavaArchive createDeployment() {
return ShrinkWrap.create(JavaArchive.class)
.addClass(Greeter.class)
.addAsManifestResource(EmptyAsset.INSTANCE, "beans.xml");
}
@Inject
Greeter greeter;
@Test
public void should_create_greeting() {
assertEquals("Hello, Earthling!", greeter.greet("Earthling"));
}
}
27. What’s missing?
O JMX Console
O JBoss Messaging 1.0
O JBoss Logging (old implementation)
O VFS – Virtual File System
O Farm deployment (vs Domain settings)
O Same folder structure
O Extensive configuration
O Clear Documentation
28. Lessons Learned
O Seam 2.x (hibernate dependency)
O Hibernate Validators (JPA-2 compliance)
O Apache CXF collision
O Seam Tests failure (Arquillian upgrade)
O JMX console obsolete (jolokia war)
O JSF 1.2 support
O HornetQ learning curve and dns issues.
O MDB and Seam race condition issues.
[@DependsOn does not work]
O Jboss Logging
29. Lessons Learned (contd.)
O Hibernate 3.x (JPA 2) support
O META-INF/persistence.xml
<property name="jboss.as.jpa.providerModule"
value="hibernate3-bundled" />
O Enable AJP Connector binding
O <connector name="AJP"
protocol="AJP/1.3" socket-binding="ajp" />
O <socket-binding name="ajp" port="8009"/>
O HornetQ clustering (disabled by default)
O <clustered>true</clustered>
31. Lessons Learned (contd.)
O Jboss-web.xml (still defines the context)
<jboss-web>
<context-root>myapp</context-root>
</jboss-web>
O HornetQ - DNS entries must exist for IP addresses
defined for messaging (multicast or otherwise)
O HornetQ – multicast configuration is enabled by default.
O HornetQ - Round Robin Load Balancing configuration.
<connection-load-balancing-policy-class-name>
org.hornetq.api.core.client.loadbalance.RoundRobinConnectionLo
adBalancingPolicy</connection-load-balancing-policy-class-name>
32. Lessons Learned (contd.)
O JBoss - You can load your own xml by :
standalone.bat --server-config standalone-
full-ha.xml
O JBOSS_HOME/docs/schema has
dtds/xsds defined for validations
O Arquillian – TestSuite still in works.
