Azure Servicebus AMQP URL not accepted / or how to connect Liberty to Azure Service Bus

Question

I got a problem getting Azure ServiceBus connected via AMQP through QPID to IBM WAS LibertyProfile. I followed the tutorial at Microsoft Docs Service Bus Messaging but I got following exception (the URL is obfuscated):

Caused by: Not an AMQP URL amqps://POLICY:[email protected]

In the server.xml I used qpid-ra-6.1.2.rar as resource adapter.

If I use a small example application with the same URL in jndi.properties, the connection works perfect.

The difference between the two solutions is that I use the resource adapter. Am I wrong with using it ? How would it be better to connect from WAS Liberty via AMQP to Azure Service Bus ?

I'm looking forward to hopefully get some answers or hints.

The answer is that I use a JCA adapter which is not able to connect to a AMQP 1.0 broker. In the example application I use qpid amqp 1.0 client jms. At the moment there is no amqp 1.0 JCA resource adapter. Also there is no further work on the resource adapter: Qpid Jira Ticket 7716
