Trouble with Glassfish Server and ActiveMQ: peer did not send his wire format

Question

I'm getting this error while trying to set up a JMSPublisher and JMSSubscriber

jndi.properties

java.naming.factory.initial = org.apache.activemq.jndi.ActiveMQInitialContextFactory
java.naming.provider.url = tcp://localhost:4848?wireFormat.maxInactivityDurationInitalDelay=30000
topic.topic/flightStatus = flightStatus

Glassfish server is running on: http://localhost:4848

Publisher:

JmsPublisher publisher= new JmsPublisher("ConnectionFactory", "topic/flightStatus");

...

public JmsPublisher(String factoryName, String topicName) throws JMSException, NamingException {
    Context jndiContext = new InitialContext();
    TopicConnectionFactory factory = (TopicConnectionFactory) jndiContext.lookup(factoryName);
    Topic topic = (Topic) jndiContext.lookup(topicName);
    this.connect = factory.createTopicConnection();
    this.session = connect.createTopicSession(false, Session.AUTO_ACKNOWLEDGE);
    this.publisher = session.createPublisher(topic);
}

Exception:

Exception in thread "main" javax.jms.JMSException: Wire format negotiation timeout: peer did not send his wire format.

The error indicates that the ActiveMQ client is not actually communicating with an ActiveMQ broker. Glassfish may be listening on http://localhost:4848 , but apparently that's not where the ActiveMQ broker is listening for connections. From what I understand, port 4848 is where the Glassfish web admin console listens for connections. Note the http in the URL you provided. By default, ActiveMQ listens on port 61616 .
