Test Jboss JMS externally - outside of the application server

Question

Hi All,

I'm pretty new to the JMS functionality.

I need to test a remote JMS which is on Jboss 4.2.1. I want to develop an external test (e.g from a main class) which sends and receives messages to/from the app. server. (I do have full access to the remote server.)

My questions are:

1) How do I send messages to the Jboss JMS?

2) Where is the information needed to send a message located on the Jboss? ip, port, queue, user, pw, ect. to set up the local messaging test.

3) Is there a way to config/ develop a mechanism on the remote JMS Jboss server that sends back acknowledgments to the sender (in this case)?

I greatly appreciate your help.

Thanks, Ben
