<h1>JMS Bridge Example</h1>
<p>This example shows how to configure and run a JMS Bridge in WildFly.<br />
A bridge receives messages from a <em>source</em> JMS destination and forwards them to a <em>target</em> destination.</p>
<p>The source and target destinations can be on different servers, even from different JMS providers. For example, you can use this
JMS Bridge to bridge a legacy JMS provider to ActiveMQ during migration.</p>
<p>This example will show how to configure and run the simplest bridge:</p>
<ul>
<li>the source and target destinations are hosted by a single WildFly instance</li>
<li>the bridge is run on the same WildFly instance</li>
<li>every time a message is consumed by the bridge from the source, it is forward to the target</li>
<li>The application client will send a message to the source and consume the "same" message from the target to
show that the two destinations were indeed bridged.</li>
</ul>
<h3>JMS Bridge configuration</h3>
<p>The JMS Bridge is configured in the "messaging" subsystem.<br />
<p>The Bridge is deployed in the application server when you simply type <code>./build.sh deploy</code> (or <code>build.bat deploy</code> on windows) (it is copied to <code>${JBOSS_HOME}/server/default-with-activemq/deploy/</code>).</p>
<h2>Example step-by-step</h2>
<p><i>download WildFly 8.0.0.Final from <a href="http://wildfly.org/downloads/">here</a> and install.</i></p>
<p><i>set the JBOSS_HOME property to point to the WildFly install directory</i></p>
<p><i>type <code>mvn verify</code> from the example directory to run</i></p>
<p>The example is simple: the application will send a message to the <em>source</em> queue and consume the same message
from the <em>target</em> queue.</p>
<p>The bridge is configured in the messaging subsystem:</p>

<li>We create a JMS connection, a session and a message producer for the <em>source</em> queue</li>

<p><em>Now that a message has been sent to the <em>source</em> queue, we will consume a message

<li>We now display the received message ID. It is not the same than the ID of the message sent to the <em>source</em> queue.

<pre class="prettyprint">
System.out.format("Message ID : %s\n", messageReceived.getJMSMessageID());

<li>If you need to retrieve the message ID of the message <em>sent to the source</em>, you can use the property <code>HQ_BRIDGE_MSG_ID_LIST</code></li>
<pre class="prettyprint">

</pre>
<li>And finally, <b>always</b> remember to close the JMS connections and resources after use, in a <code>finally</code> block. Closing a JMS connection will automatically close all of its sessions, consumers, producer and browser objects</li>
