Create Producer Project

Create Java Project in Eclipse. Right click the project select Build Path\Configure Build Path menu. In Libraries tab, select all jar files above to the project. Besides, we need add appserv-rt library in glassfish4\glassfish\lib folder from GlassFish Server as photo below:

Producer Project Structure

Entities Class

Create entity class: Invoice.java as below:

Invoice.java

package demo.entities;

import java.io.Serializable;
import java.util.Date;

public class Invoice implements Serializable {

	private String id;
	private String name;
	private Date dateCreation;
	private double total;

	public String getId() {
		return id;
	}

	public void setId(String id) {
		this.id = id;
	}

	public String getName() {
		return name;
	}

	public void setName(String name) {
		this.name = name;
	}

	public Date getDateCreation() {
		return dateCreation;
	}

	public void setDateCreation(Date dateCreation) {
		this.dateCreation = dateCreation;
	}

	public double getTotal() {
		return total;
	}

	public void setTotal(double total) {
		this.total = total;
	}

}

Spring JMS Configuration File

The Spring configuration shows a context:component-scan that picks up the JMS producer and listener. Then a JMS connection factory is made for the JmsTemplate to use. The template will be used by the producer to send messages.

Create Message Producer class

This class contains methods to send messages to destination

package demo.spring_jms;

import javax.jms.JMSException;
import javax.jms.Message;
import javax.jms.ObjectMessage;
import javax.jms.Session;
import org.springframework.beans.factory.annotation.Autowired;
import org.springframework.jms.core.JmsTemplate;
import org.springframework.jms.core.MessageCreator;
import org.springframework.stereotype.Component;
import demo.entities.Invoice;

@Component("objectMessageProducer")
public class ObjectMessageProducer {

	@Autowired
	private JmsTemplate jmsTemplate;

	public void sendMessage(Invoice invoice) {
		jmsTemplate.send(new MessageCreator() {
			@Override
			public Message createMessage(Session session) throws JMSException {
				ObjectMessage objectMessage = session.createObjectMessage();
				objectMessage.setObject(invoice);
				return objectMessage;
			}
		});
	}

}

Run Application

The program will automatically send the object message every 1 second

package demo.spring_jms;

import java.util.Date;
import org.springframework.context.support.ClassPathXmlApplicationContext;
import demo.entities.Invoice;

public class Main {

	public static void main(String[] args) {

		try {
			ClassPathXmlApplicationContext context = new ClassPathXmlApplicationContext("applicationContext.xml");
			ObjectMessageProducer objectMessageProducer = context.getBean("objectMessageProducer",
					ObjectMessageProducer.class);
			int i = 1;
			while (true) {
				Invoice invoice = new Invoice();
				invoice.setId("iv" + i);
				invoice.setName("Name " + i);
				invoice.setDateCreation(new Date());
				invoice.setTotal(i);
				objectMessageProducer.sendMessage(invoice);
				Thread.sleep(1000);
				i++;
			}
		} catch (Exception e) {
			System.err.println(e.getMessage());
		}

	}

}
