Injected JMS ConnectionFactory is null in simple JMS example using ActiveMQ Artemis with OpenLiberty

Question

I am trying to create a simple JMS example application using ActiveMQ Artemis but I am having issues with my Connection Factory that returns null. Below I am giving you my code, so far, as well as the error stack trace.

I have searched across many questions but didn't managed to fix my issue. I think that I am doing something wrong either with my server.xml or my Configuration class or both them.

Any suggestions as to what I am missing?

server.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<server description="new server">

    <featureManager>
        <feature>jakartaee-9.1</feature>
    </featureManager>

    <jmsConnectionFactory jndiName="jms/ArtemisConnectionFactory">
        <properties.activemq
                brokerURL="tcp://localhost:61616"
                userName="admin"
                password="admin"/>
    </jmsConnectionFactory>


    <jmsQueue id="jms/ArtemisQueue" jndiName="jms/ArtemisQueue">
        <properties.activemq queueName="Test_Queue"/>
    </jmsQueue>

    <basicRegistry id="basic" realm="BasicRealm"/>

    <httpEndpoint id="defaultHttpEndpoint"
                  httpPort="9080"
                  httpsPort="9443" />

    <applicationManager autoExpand="true"/>

            }
        } else {
            LOGGER.log(Level.WARNING, "Received non-text message");
        }
    }
}
