Glassfish V3.x and remote standalone client

Question

it is absolutely no problem to connect to a ActiveMQ as standalone client. The only thing you need is to add the activemq-all-5.4.1.jar and there you go...

...
prop.put(Context.SECURITY_AUTHENTICATION , "system");
prop.put(Context.SECURITY_CREDENTIALS,"manager");
prop.put(Context.INITIAL_CONTEXT_FACTORY,"org.apache.activemq.jndi.ActiveMQInitialContextFactory");
prop.put(Context.PROVIDER_URL,"tcp://localhost:61616");
prop.put("connectionFactoryNames", "TopicCF");
prop.put("topic.topic1", "topic1");

InitialContext ctx = new InitialContext(prop);
...

Now you want to connect to Glassfish V3.x and it seems impossible to get the right libraries and classes in order to connect. While it still was possible in Glassfish V2.x I did not succeed yet to get the equivalent of above code running for Glassfish !

...
Properties properties = new Properties();
properties.put(Context.INITIAL_CONTEXT_FACTORY, "com.sun.appserv.naming.S1ASCtxFactory");
properties.put(Context.PROVIDER_URL, "iiop://localhost:3700");
InitialContext context = new InitialContext(properties)
...

Does anyone have an answer on this ? No, I dont want to deploy an enterprise app-client just to read from a Glassfish queue. There are similar threads here, but none guides anywhere.

Thanks for any tips

Sven

Excuse me to tell your so, but your reply totally looks like an automated one, here is why I downvoted it. — Riduidel, Apr 21 '11 at 14:57
Sorry you had to downvote me , its not automated - took me quite a while to figure out the list of jar dependancies - thats why I posted it on a couple of questions - in the hope that it might help someone and save them the frustration that I had to go through. — ChristiaanP, Apr 27 '11 at 13:21

When connecting to Glassfish V3, there is no need to supply any properties to the InitialContext constructor. You can simply use the no-arg constructor. To specify the server name and port, set the -Dorg.omg.CORBA.ORBInitialHost and -Dorg.omg.CORBA.ORBInitialPort properties on the JVM, respectively.

As for the libraries, all you should need to include is the gf-client.jar file. It can be found at $GLASSFISH_HOME/lib. This jar file will automatically include whatever other libraries are needed.

For more information, please see http://glassfish.java.net/javaee5/ejb/EJB_FAQ.html#StandaloneRemoteEJB. Although that document addresses using EJBs in a stand-alone client, the same solutions apply to using JMS.

You can go see the solution I found when encountering quite the same issue : With which maven dependencies can i create a standalone JMS client for Glassfish ?
