JMS Connector Release Notes

Support Category: Select

Anypoint Connector for JMS (Java Message Service) (JMS Connector) enables sending and receiving messages to queues and topics for any message service that implements the JMS specification.

Guide: JMS Connector User Guide

2.0.0

August 4, 2026

What’s New

  • This connector is now compatible with Java 17 only.

  • The Enable xa field is removed from the ActiveMQ connection factory configuration.

  • JMS Connector provides separate connection types for XA and non-XA transactions. You can now select the new ActiveMQ XA Connection or Generic XA Connection type in the JMS Config window. These new connection types replace the previous Enable xa toggle on a single connection.

  • The deprecated ActiveMQ Connection - No Connectivity Test connection type is removed. There is no replacement connection type. Use ActiveMQ Connection instead.

For more information about how to upgrade the connector to version 2.0, refer to Upgrading and Migrating JMS Connector to Version 2.x.

Mule

4.2.0 and later

OpenJDK

8, 11, and 17

Fixed Issues

Issue Resolution ID

A JMS connection that uses an invalid or duplicate client ID now fails immediately as a terminal error instead of retrying indefinitely, and the associated connection is closed to prevent a thread leak.

W-19332327

Blocking session and consumer creation calls to an unresponsive broker are now bounded by a configurable timeout (default 30 seconds) and surface a connectivity error so the configured reconnection strategy can recover, instead of hanging indefinitely.

W-22932102

A JMS exception that names a single registered destination is now routed only to that destination’s listeners, so unrelated listeners no longer receive the error.

W-23286173

JMS threads are now properly closed and cleaned up during application undeployment, preventing a thread leak when using the ActiveMQ and Artemis drivers.

W-18913222

Oracle Advanced Queuing (AQ) publish failures that report a connection timeout are now treated as connectivity errors, instead of terminal publishing errors, so the configured reconnection strategy can recover.
