WildFly integration with ActiveMQ using JCA resource adapter

Question

I am trying to integrate ActiveMQ 5.15.13 with WildFly 21.0.1.Final using the ActiveMQ JCA resource adapter. However, I am getting errors while doing it. I was able to integrate WildFly 9 with ActiveMQ 5.10. I'm getting the following errors:

Downloaded rar from https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/org.apache.activemq/activemq-rar/5.15.13

Tried both ways (updating rar and without updating it) by following the below guides

https://access.redhat.com/solutions/1124023

http://www.mastertheboss.com/jboss-server/jboss-jms/integrate-activemq-with-wildfly

Update: Issue started when I added third-party jars through global-modules section under ee subsystem. I was adding java ee api jar

Any help/suggestions would be appreciated.

@JustinBertram updated my post with Resource Adapter configuration. Tried by deploying original rar directly and also tried by updating ServerUrl in ra.xml and deployed repackaged rar file — Sumanth

I deployed the ActiveMQ 5.13.13 JCA resource adapter to Wildfly 21.0.1.Final and I didn't see the same logging you saw. Everything appears to be working just fine. Here's what I did:

Download & unzip WildFly 21.0.1.Final.
Download the ActiveMQ 5.15.13 JCA RA and copy it to standalone/deployments.

Added this to standalone/configuration/standalone-full.xml:

<subsystem xmlns="urn:jboss:domain:resource-adapters:6.0">
    <resource-adapters>
        <resource-adapter id="activemq-ra-5">
            <archive>activemq-rar-5.15.13.rar</archive>
            <transaction-support>XATransaction</transaction-support>
            <config-property name="ServerUrl">tcp://localhost:61616?soTimeout=20000&amp;connectionTimeout=10000</config-property>
            <config-property name="UserName">defaultUser</config-property>
            <config-property name="UseInboundSession">false</config-property>
            <config-property name="Password">defaultPassword</config-property>
            <connection-definitions>
                <connection-definition class-name="org.apache.activemq.ra.ActiveMQManagedConnectionFactory" jndi-name="java:/ActiveMQ/QueueConnectionFactory" enabled="true" use-java-context="true" pool-name="ActiveMQ/QueueConnectionFactory" use-ccm="true">
                    <xa-pool>
                        <min-pool-size>1</min-pool-size>
                        <max-pool-size>200</max-pool-size>
                    </xa-pool>
                    <timeout>
                        <blocking-timeout-millis>30000</blocking-timeout-millis>
                        <idle-timeout-minutes>5</idle-timeout-minutes>
                    </timeout>
                </connection-definition>
            </connection-definitions>
            <admin-objects>
                <admin-object class-name="org.apache.activemq.command.ActiveMQQueue" jndi-name="java:/queue/XMLPublishQueue" enabled="true" use-java-context="true" pool-name="XMLPublishQueue">
                    <config-property name="PhysicalName">XMLPublishQueue</config-property>
                </admin-object>
                <admin-object class-name="org.apache.activemq.command.ActiveMQQueue" jndi-name="java:/queue/SupportTasksQueue" enabled="true" use-java-context="true" pool-name="SupportTasksQueue">
                    <config-property name="PhysicalName">SupportTasksQueue</config-property>
                </admin-object>
            </admin-objects>
        </resource-adapter>
    </resource-adapters>
</subsystem>

Updated the jms-connection-factory attribute in the default-bindings element of the ee subsystem to use java:/ActiveMQ/QueueConnectionFactory:

<default-bindings context-service="java:jboss/ee/concurrency/context/default" datasource="java:jboss/datasources/ExampleDS" jms-connection-factory="java:/ActiveMQ/QueueConnectionFactory" managed-executor-service="java:jboss/ee/concurrency/executor/default" managed-scheduled-executor-service="java:jboss/ee/concurrency/scheduler/default" managed-thread-factory="java:jboss/ee/concurrency/factory/default"/>

Updated the resource-adapter-name attribute of the mdb/resource-adapter-ref element of the ejb3 subsystem to be ${ejb.resource-adapter-name:activemq-rar-5}:
```
<resource-adapter-ref resource-adapter-name="${ejb.resource-adapter-name:activemq-rar-5}"/>
```
Started WildFly using ./standalone.sh -c standalone-full.xml

Given that all this works normally I would say your problem is your global module, especially since it includes Java EE API classes. Application jars and library jars should not include Java/Jakarta EE API classes. The EE server (e.g. WildFly) provides all those. If you (or someone else) provides their own then that will cause classloading problems and that, in turn, will cause a lot of other weird problems. To reiterate, there's absolutely no reason for you to package Java/Jakarta EE API classes with your application or libraries deployed on the server.
