Unable to configure ActiveMQ resource adapter

[lucasweb78]

Wildfly Version: 8.2.0.Final
Wildfly-Camel Version: 2.1.0

I am attempting to configure a resource adapter for ActiveMQ as per the recommendation in the Wildfly-Camel documentation

For Wildfly / EAP container managed connection pools and XA-Transaction support, the ActiveMQ Resource Adapter can be configured into the container configuration file.

Below is the configuration I have used as per https://developer.jboss.org/wiki/HowToUseOutOfProcessActiveMQWithWildFly

<subsystem xmlns="urn:jboss:domain:resource-adapters:2.0">
    <resource-adapters>
        <resource-adapter id="activemq-rar">
            <module id="org.apache.activemq"/>
            <transaction-support>XATransaction</transaction-support>
            <config-property name="UseInboundSession">false</config-property>
            <config-property name="ServerUrl">tcp://localhost:61616?jms.rmIdFromConnectionId=true</config-property>
            <connection-definitions>
                <connection-definition class-name="org.apache.activemq.ra.ActiveMQManagedConnectionFactory" jndi-name="java:/AMQConnectionFactory" enabled="true" pool-name="ConnectionFactory">
                    <xa-pool>
                        <min-pool-size>1</min-pool-size>
                        <max-pool-size>20</max-pool-size>
                        <prefill>false</prefill>
                        <is-same-rm-override>false</is-same-rm-override>
                    </xa-pool>
                </connection-definition>
            </connection-definitions>
        </resource-adapter>
    </resource-adapters>
</subsystem>

I currently get the following error:

13:44:32,048 ERROR [org.jboss.as.controller.management-operation](ServerService Thread Pool -- 47) JBAS014613: Operation ("add") failed - address: ([
("subsystem" => "resource-adapters"),
("resource-adapter" => "activemq-rar")
]) - failure description: "JBAS010473: Failed to load module for RA [org.apache.activemq]"

I believe this may be caused by the active-mq module bundling the unexploded RAR file instead of an exploded RAR file.

I think we can load the RA without exploding the entire archive. Thanks for identifying that the documentation needs improving in this area.

As a workaround for the current release you could try this:

1. From a terminal session, change into your WildFly installation root directory

2. Change into the ActiveMQ module directory.

cd modules/system/layers/fuse/org/apache/activemq/main

3. Extract broker-config and ra.xml files from the resource adapter.

unzip activemq-rar-5.10.0.rar broker-config.xml
unzip activemq-rar-5.10.0.rar META-INF/ra.xml

4. Modify module.xml so that it looks like the following.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<module xmlns="urn:jboss:module:1.1" name="org.apache.activemq">
  <resources>
    <resource-root path="." />
    <resource-root path="activemq-broker-5.10.0.jar" />
    <resource-root path="activemq-client-5.10.0.jar" />
    <resource-root path="activemq-jms-pool-5.10.0.jar" />
    <resource-root path="activemq-kahadb-store-5.10.0.jar" />
    <resource-root path="activemq-openwire-legacy-5.10.0.jar" />
    <resource-root path="activemq-pool-5.10.0.jar" />
    <resource-root path="activemq-protobuf-1.1.jar" />
    <resource-root path="activemq-ra-5.10.0.jar" />
    <resource-root path="activemq-rar-5.10.0.rar" />
    <resource-root path="activemq-spring-5.10.0.jar" />
  </resources>
  <dependencies>
    <module name="javax.api" />
    <module name="javax.jms.api" export="true" />
    <module name="javax.management.j2ee.api" export="true" />
    <module name="javax.resource.api" export="true" />
    <module name="javax.transaction.api" export="true" />
    <module name="org.apache.commons.pool" />
    <module name="org.apache.log4j" />
    <module name="org.apache.xbean.spring" />
    <module name="org.apache.camel.component.mqtt" />
    <module name="org.slf4j" />
    <module name="org.springframework.context" />
    <module name="org.springframework.core" />
  </dependencies>
</module>

You can modify META-INF/ra.xml and broker-config.xml for your requirements. This should be enough to load the RA.

@jamesnetherton thanks for providing the work around. It solved the problem and am now able to configure a resource adapter using the wildfly-camel active-mq module.

Closing - Documentation updated to explain this in more detail.
