Steps to reproduce: 0) Uncomment line admin=admin,admin in etc/users.properties 1)Before starting fuse in etc/activemq.xml substitute line: <transportConnector name= "openwire" uri= "tcp: //0.0.0.0:0?maximumConnections=1000" /> with <transportConnector name= "amqp" uri= "amqp: //0.0.0.0:5672" /> or <transportConnector name= "amqp" uri= "amqp+nio: //localhost:5672" /> 2) Using the following dependencies: <dependency> <groupId>org.apache.qpid</groupId> <artifactId>qpid-amqp-1-0-client-jms</artifactId> <version>0.26</version> </dependency> <dependency> <groupId>org.apache.geronimo.specs</groupId> <artifactId>geronimo-jms_1.1_spec</artifactId> <version>1.0</version> </dependency> I ran the following test: @Before public void init() throws JMSException, NamingException { // JNDI lookup of JMS Connection Factory and JMS Destination Context context = new InitialContext(); conFactiory = (ConnectionFactory) context.lookup(CONNECTION_FACTORY_NAME); conn=conFactiory.createConnection(); session=conn.createSession( false ,Session.AUTO_ACKNOWLEDGE); conn.start(); } @Test ... and the tests hangs on the line session = conn.createSession( false ,Session.AUTO_ACKNOWLEDGE);
