tomcat+jndi+activemq namingexception cannot create resource instance

[stevegula <st...@stevegula.net>]

tomcat 6.0.20
activemq 5.3.0

the following are in  tomcat/lib :
activemq-all
geronimo j2ee management 1.0
geronimo jms 1.1
geronimo jta 1.0.1B
commons httpclient 3.1

this is in a portlet running in openportal within tomcat

web.xml 
----------
	<resource-ref>
		<res-ref-name>jms/ConnectionFactory</res-ref-name>
		<res-type>org.apache.activemq.ActiveMQConnectionFactory</res-type>
		<res-auth>Container</res-auth>
	</resource-ref>
	<resource-ref>

		<res-type>org.apache.activemq.command.ActiveMQQueue</res-type>
		<res-auth>Container</res-auth>
	</resource-ref>


context.xml
----------
<Context>
    <Resource
        name="jms/ConnectionFactory"
        auth="Container"
        type="org.apache.activemq.ActiveMQConnectionFactory"
        description="JMS Connection Factory"
        factory="org.apache.activemq.jndi.JNDIReferenceFactory"
        brokerURL="tcp://localhost:61616"
        brokerName="LocalActiveMQBroker"
        useEmbeddedBroker="false" />

    <Resource name="jms/MyAppQueue"
        auth="Container"
        type="org.apache.activemq.command.ActiveMQQueue"
        factory="org.apache.activemq.jndi.JNDIReferenceFactory"
        physicalName="MyApp.queue" />
</Context>


the code
------
	public void sendMessageToQueue(String submitId, String capabilitiesURL)
	{
		logger.debug("sendMessageToQueue start");
		Context jndiContext = null;
		ConnectionFactory connectionFactory = null;
		Connection connection = null;
		Session session = null;
		Destination destination = null;
		MessageProducer producer = null;
		String destinationName = "MyApp";
		TextMessage message = null;
		
		try
		{
			Context initCtx = new InitialContext();
			jndiContext = (Context) initCtx.lookup("java:comp/env");
			connectionFactory = (ConnectionFactory)
jndiContext.lookup("jms/ConnectionFactory");
			destination = (Destination) jndiContext.lookup("jms/MyAppQueue");
			connection = connectionFactory.createConnection();
			session = connection.createSession(false, Session.AUTO_ACKNOWLEDGE);
			producer = session.createProducer(destination);
			message = session.createTextMessage();
//			message.setText(submitId+"|"+capabilitiesURL);
			message.setStringProperty("submitId", submitId);
			message.setStringProperty("capabilitiesURL", capabilitiesURL);
			logger.debug("Message for queue : "+message.getText());
			producer.send(message);
		}
		catch(NamingException e)
		{
			logger.debug("Naming exception : ",e);
		}
		catch(JMSException e)
		{
			logger.debug("Message exception : ",e);
		}
		finally
		{
			if(connection != null)
			{
				try
				{
					logger.debug("connection.toString() - "+connection.toString());
					connection.close();
				}
				catch(JMSException e)
				{
					logger.debug("Failed to close - ",e);
				}
			}	
		}
		logger.debug("sendMessageToQueue end");
	}



the problem - 

the line -> 			connectionFactory = (ConnectionFactory)
jndiContext.lookup("jms/ConnectionFactory");

is causing

javax.naming.NamingException: Cannot create resource instance
        at
org.apache.naming.factory.ResourceFactory.getObjectInstance(ResourceF
actory.java:143)


I have spent roughly 10 hours on this now. I have searched all of Google,
Nabble, activemq/tomcat.apache.org ... all I can find is people more or less
asking "what have I done wrong" but I have not found anyone offering a
solution. The best documentation I can find on apache.org contains the
phrase  "This is completely untested but should work" ... and it does not.
At one point I thought I was nearing success by doing the "Look Inside this
Book" on Amazon.com looking at "Tomcat: The Definitive Guide (Paperback)"
but ultimately that did not work either. My Junit tests (in Eclipse using
jndi.properties) all work with no problem. When I try doing this within
tomcat w/ web.xml and context.xml it fails horribly.

Any input would be desperately appreciated.

Looking for a way to make ActiveMQ use PooledConnectionFactory through JNDI I
came across your post
and  http://www.mail-archive.com/users@tomcat.apache.org/msg66249.html that
one  which may not help solve your issue but possibly delivers an
explanation.
