Spring Boot JMS InitialContext

Question

I'm looking to configure a Spring boot application to do a JNDI lookup (configure initialContext) of the connection. This is running as a standalone Spring boot application (not on an application server). I have the following which works fine, although I provide all the configuration values myself (not setting timeouts/etc here, but would normally be):

@Bean
public ConnectionFactory tibJmsConnectionFactory() throws JMSException {
    TibjmsConnectionFactory myFac = new TibjmsConnectionFactory();
    myFac.setServerUrl("tcp://xxxxx:7222");
    myFac.setUserName("xxxxxxx");
    myFac.setUserPassword("xxxxxx");
    return myFac;
}

@Bean
public JmsListenerContainerFactory<?> myFactory(ConnectionFactory connectionFactory,
                                                DefaultJmsListenerContainerFactoryConfigurer configurer) {
    DefaultJmsListenerContainerFactory factory = new DefaultJmsListenerContainerFactory();
    configurer.configure(factory, connectionFactory);
    return factory;
}

When running on an application server, you can set up a JNDI context URL to pull configuration values (timeouts/etc) from an external connection (in our case, the source JMS server) by specifying an "Initial Context Factory" on the JNDI connection. How I can do the equivalent from a Spring boot application not running on an application server?

Your tibJmsConnectionFactory() isn't returning connection factory from server. You're just instantiating it with some properties. You've to do context lookup.

    Context ctx = new InitialContext(env);      

    TibjmsConnectionFactory connectionFactory = (TibjmsConnectionFactory) ctx.lookup("factoryName");
