6.2. Directly Instantiating JMS Resources Without Using JNDI

It is a very common usage pattern to look up JMS Administered Objects (that is JMS queue, topic and ConnectionFactory instances) from JNDI. However in some cases, a JNDI server is not available, and using JMS is still required, or it is preferable to directly instantiate objects. This is possible with HornetQ, which supports the direct instantiation of JMS queue, topic and ConnectionFactory instances.
The following is a simple example, which does not use JNDI at all:
Create the JMS ConnectionFactory object via the HornetQJMSClient Utility class. Note you need to provide connection parameters and specify which transport you are using. For more information on connectors refer to Chapter 14, Configuring the Transport. 
TransportConfiguration transportConfiguration =
   new TransportConfiguration(NettyConnectorFactory.class.getName());                
ConnectionFactory cf =
   HornetQJMSClient.createConnectionFactory(transportConfiguration);

Also create the JMS Queue object via the HornetQJMSClient Utility class: 
Queue orderQueue = HornetQJMSClient.createQueue("OrderQueue");

Next create a JMS connection using the connection factory: 
Connection connection = cf.createConnection();

Create a non transacted JMS Session, with AUTO_ACKNOWLEDGE acknowledge mode: 
Session session = connection.createSession(false, Session.AUTO_ACKNOWLEDGE);

Create a MessageProducer that will send orders to the queue: 
MessageProducer producer = session.createProducer(orderQueue);
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
Create a MessageConsumer which will consume orders from the queue: 
MessageConsumer consumer = session.createConsumer(orderQueue);
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
Make sure you start the connection, or delivery will not occur on it: 
connection.start();
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
Create a simple TextMessage and send it: 
TextMessage message = session.createTextMessage("This is an order");
producer.send(message);
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
And we consume the message: 
TextMessage receivedMessage = (TextMessage)consumer.receive();
System.out.println("Got order: " + receivedMessage.getText());
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
