@Resource(lookup = "java:/ConnectionFactory")
 ConnectionFactory connectionFactory;


JMSContext context=connectionFactory.createContext();

Queue queue;

public void sendMessage(String message) {
    System.out.println("fancy beans");

I just stumbled over this same error (in my case, I was trying to inject a JMSContext into a Servlet).

It was a missing beans.xml file. In my case, it belonged in the WEB-INF folder of the war file. Apparently the Weld subsystem is only started when it is present: https://docs.jboss.org/author/display/WFLY8/Developer+Guide#DeveloperGuide-Whicharetheimplicitmoduledependencies%3F

Although I suspect that it's started in other circumstances as well - I have an EJB application which doesnt need any bean.xml for CDI to work.

You cant call the connection factory that "early". It will not be injected during the construction of your bean. Inject a JMSContext directly is probably easier.

public class SendMsg {


//@Resource(lookup = "java:/ConnectionFactory")
//ConnectionFactory connectionFactory;

@Inject
JMSContext context;   //=connectionFactory.createContext();
