Description

While trying to send a Message, I get an Error: Cannot send, channel has already failed. However, it seems that this happens already during establishing the connection (see Stacktrace).

As this is an rather old project, we do not use Maven (yet). It seems that a jar File is missing: hawtbuf-1.11.jar. Because i got no Classloading problems, i did not check this first. However, I wonder why it is not possible here to include some better error Message?

Stacktrace on Client is as follows:

javax.jms.JMSException: Cannot send, channel has already failed: tcp://172.23.60.19:61616

The Server Log has the following Entry:

WARN | Transport Connection to: tcp://10.29.15.133:56578 failed: java.io.EOFException | org.apache.activemq.broker.TransportConnection.Transport | ActiveMQ Transport: tcp:///10.29.15.133:56578@61616

What I'm doing here is:

QueueConnectionFactory qcf = (some Spring Bean)
QueueConnection qc = qcf.createQueueConnection();
QueueSession qs = qc.createQueueSession(true, Session.AUTO_ACKNOWLEDGE);
