Messagelets problems !Hi Romulus

I've CC'd the commons-dev list in case others might find this interesting. From inside a Servlet you should be able to use the following code to send a message to some server via JMS, then block until a response comes back. 

Messenger messenger = MessengerManager.get( "myConnection" );
Destination destination = messenger.getDestination( "jms/Queue" );
TextMessage message = messenger.createTextMessage( "this is some text, maybe even XML" );
Message response = messenger.call( destination, message );

The above will wait until the response is sent from the server process. For details of how to write the server side, to consume a message from a queue then send a response, there are examples using either a Messagelet, a Message Driven Object or even a Servlet here:-

http://cvs.apache.org/viewcvs/jakarta-commons-sandbox/messenger/src/webapp/src/

The configuration files required to deploy the server side in a Servlet container are here

http://cvs.apache.org/viewcvs.cgi/jakarta-commons-sandbox/messenger/src/webapp/conf/

  Hi James,



  I have to go back to you because our messagelet problem is still in same situation:

  we can not get the contact between the servlet and JMS.

  To explain you how it's look like: we have a servlet in one machine and a MOM installed

  in another one. The idea is to send an incoming request from web client via servlet

  to the MOM, this one [the listener connected to MOM] to process the information and 

  *send* back the response to servlet.

  Please help us with a very short example that I can polish [more development and 

  documented] and eventually if you are interested we can publish on the web side 

  because I'm sure that are more interested.

  >See the messenger/src/conf/MessengerJBoss.xml document for examples. This has been tested by someone on JBossMQ >and it seemed to work



  >Sometimes the JNDI name for the connection factory or the queue needs to be prefixed by "java:comp/env" or whatever for >official J2EE servers. Does that help?



  >The thing we are trying to accomplish is to consume JMS messages from a JMS Topic deployed on the JMS Server. Using >plain JMS API calls with Servlets results in a IllegalStateException, due to the sad fact that this is against the Servlet/J2EE >spec.



  Many thanks for your cooperation !
