Spring Application Not Able to Communicate with Apache Artemis Configured on Another VM

Question

Hi,

I have a Spring application and is needed to communicate to Apache Artemis that I have configured on another VM. The following is the error message:

ERROR org.springframework.messaging.simp.stomp.StompBrokerRelayMessageHandler - Received ERROR {message=[AMQ229014: Did not receive data from x.x.x.x:<port> within the 20000ms connection TTL. The connection will now be closed.]}

Need advise on this.

Thank you.

Regards.

Hi Tai Li

Thanks for using the Q&A platform.

The error suggests the Spring application lost the connection to Apache Artemis due to inactivity or network issues.

Can you try telnet from the Spring app host?

#Change the x.x.x.x to the Ip and also provide Artemis port number

telnet x.x.x.x port

If the telnet fails, it's likely a network or firewall issue.

Also, ensure the Artemis server VM allows inbound traffic on the Artemis port:

sudo ufw allow port number
# or check with your cloud/vm firewall rules

Lastly, you can try running tcpdump or Wireshark on the Artemis VM to ensure the packets are arriving from the Spring app host.

You can mark it 'Accept Answer' and 'Upvote' if this helped you.

Answer 2

After further investigation, the cause for my spring application that is not able to perform the necessary action with the usage of Apache MQ is due to application user permission control. Sorry for the false alarm.

With regards to this error message:

ERROR org.springframework.messaging.simp.stomp.StompBrokerRelayMessageHandler - Received ERROR {message=[AMQ229014: Did not receive data from x.x.x.x:<port> within the 20000ms connection TTL. The connection will now be closed.]}

I recall reading something like this:

ActiveMQ Artemis has a default connection TTL of 60 seconds. If no data is exchanged within this period, it assumes the client is dead and closes the connection.

I will either need to suppress this message or disable the 'heartbeat'.
