ActiveMq integration with Spring 2.5

Question

I am using ActiveMq 5.32 with Spring 2.5.5. I use pretty generic configuration, as long as I include the jmsTransactionManager in DefaultMessageListenerContainer, Spring throw an error on start up:

"Error creating bean with name 'org.springframework.jms.listener.DefaultMessageListenerContainer#0'"

Without the transactionManager attribute , this works fine, but when I add 10 messages to the message queue, a transaction exception will occur.

Part of my configurations :

<bean class="org.springframework.jms.listener.DefaultMessageListenerContainer">
                <property name="connectionFactory" ref="connectionFactory" />
                <property name="destination" ref="emailDestination" />
                <property name="messageListener" ref="emailServiceMDP" />
                <property name="transactionManager" ref="jmsTransactionManager" />
</bean>

<bean id="jmsTransactionManager" class="org.springframework.jms.connection.JmsTransactionManager">
                <property name="connectionFactory" ref="connectionFactory" />
</bean>

Does this version of Spring and Activemq has some know issues in integration ? Or do I need additional libs to get jmsTransactionManager to work ?

Answer 1

Here is the true problem in that stack trace:

java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: org.springframework.transaction.support.TransactionSynchronizationUtils.sameResourceFactory(Lorg/springframework/transaction/support/ResourceTransactionManager;Ljava/lang/Object;)Z at 

The problem is that whatever version of the spring-tx jar you have on the classpath does not contain the class/method TransactionSynchronizationUtils.sameResourceFactory. As best as I can determine, that method did exist in Spring 2.5.4 but did not exist in Spring 2.5.3. I think you need to check your classpath to see which versions of the various Spring jars you are actually using.

FWIW, ActiveMQ currently uses 2.5.6 internally and previous used Spring 2.5.5. That's what I can recall off the top of my head, further back then that I would need to do some real digging.

Hope that helps.
