HornetQ JMSException: Failed to create session factory - jms

Question

I'm trying to Directly instantiating JMS Resources without using JNDI to a REMOTE HORNETQ.
I am running my test code in Eclipse IDE. Setup my classpath to use the HornetQ 2.2.5 libraries.
The target HornetQ is version 2.1.2.Final, I figured they should be backwards compatible, maybe im wrong?
Okay, so I have read the online documentation and followed the examples on connecting to a remote JMS server without using JNDI. I keep on getting the following exception. Im not sure what Im missing but I believe I have everything setup correctly. Could someone please point out what Im missing here? Thanks in advance.
JMSException: Failed to create session factory
The connector on hornetq-configuration.xml is:
<connector name="netty">
<factory-class>org.hornetq.core.remoting.impl.netty.NettyConnectorFactory</factory-class>
<param key="host" value="${10.100.111.222}"/>
<param key="port" value="${hornetq.remoting.netty.port:5445}"/>
</connector>
The acceptor is:
<acceptor name="netty">
<factory-class>org.hornetq.core.remoting.impl.netty.NettyAcceptorFactory</factory-class>
<param key="host" value="${10.100.111.222}"/>
<param key="port" value="${hornetq.remoting.netty.port:5445}"/>
</acceptor>
My Test code is:
Connection connection = null;
try
{
Queue queue = HornetQJMSClient.createQueue("TESTQ");
Map<String, Object> connectionParams = new HashMap<String, Object>();
connectionParams.put(TransportConstants.PORT_PROP_NAME, 5445);
connectionParams.put(TransportConstants.HOST_PROP_NAME, "10.100.111.222");
TransportConfiguration transportConfiguration = new TransportConfiguration(NettyConnectorFactory.class.getName(),
connectionParams);
ConnectionFactory factory = (ConnectionFactory) HornetQJMSClient.createConnectionFactoryWithoutHA(JMSFactoryType.CF, transportConfiguration);
System.out.println("debug: " + factory.getClass());
connection = factory.createConnection();
Session session = connection.createSession(false, Session.AUTO_ACKNOWLEDGE);
MessageProducer producer = session.createProducer(queue);
TextMessage message = session.createTextMessage("This is a test message");
System.out.println("Sent message: " + message.getText());
producer.send(message);
}
finally
{
if (connection != null)
{
try {
connection.close();
} catch (JMSException e) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
}
I get the following Exception

Regarding compatibility: We didn't have client compatibility until 2.2.5+. If you try client on 2.2.2 and server at 2.2.5, you will probably get a version mismatch exception.
We are aiming to always be compatible from 2.2.5+
And you have a typo in your config:
<connector name="netty">
<factory-class>org.hornetq.core.remoting.impl.netty.NettyConnectorFactory</factory-class>
<param key="host" value="10.100.111.222"/>
<param key="port" value="${hornetq.remoting.netty.port:5445}"/>
</connector>
We use a syntax for properties and default values. You could for instance define a variable MY_IP and use it as:
"${MY_IP:10.100.111.222}"
If MY_IP is null, you would get 10.100.111.222
But "${10.100.111.222}" doesn't mean anything.
