Would anyone be able to direct me to a clear and concise resource (how-to, tutorial, article, tip, etc.) that explains how to do the following.

- Create a Connection Factory and a Queue on Machine A.

- Send and/or receive messages to and/or from the Queue from Machine B.

The specific part of this relatively simple JMS example I'm having a problem with is providing Machine B remote access to the Queue located on Machine A.

Do I have to configure the parameters of the Connection Factory a certain way?

Is it a matter of explicitly providing the correct arguments when creating the InitialContext for the JNDI lookup?

Both?

What JMS Provider are you using? It is just a matter of obtaining a ConnectionFactory (typically thru JNDI) and then using it to either send a message or register a MessageListener.

Allright...I'm gonna do my best to not seem too ignorant here....this is the first time I've worked with JMS, so please bear with me.

The JMS provider I'm using is the RI Server I downloaded from Sun, started by performing "j2ee -verbose" via the command line. But, as far as I know...I may not being doing this correctly.

I think the problem I'm having is setting up the Properties so I can provide them as arguments to the InititalContext constructor to ensure that Machine B knows where to find the objects on Machine A.

The following is what I'm currently trying...and is not working.

Another question I just thought of while perusing Sun's site. How does one decide which Service Provider to use when setting the environement properties. Do these "Service Providers" relate in any way to the "JMS Provider" you mentioned?

Thanks again...

Another thing....

Do I even need to modify the INITIAL_CONTEXT_FACTORY property or do I just need to provide Machine B the ability to remotely see Machine A's jndi.properties file?

I'm sure you can tell by these questions I'm inexperienced with this...but I hope they aren't stupid questions and indicate that at least I'm on the right track.

OK....I resolved the problem by using the properties I found in the last post of the following thread.

But....I still would like to know how one chooses which properties to use for any given situation.

Thanks

Allright....you'd think I have severe ADD/HD with how many times I post, re-post, answer my own questions, etc....but when I tried this remotely, I received the following error.

Thanks for bothering to read through my insanity.
