Mule MSMQ flow gives connection refused error in Mule Studio

Question

I'm trying to run the sample example from Mule blog for MSMQ. When I setup MSMQ as global component "Test connection" says Successful, that means MSMQ is setup. Well and good till now.. Now using the following flow to test sending a message into queue:

<msmq:config name="MSMQ" serviceAddress="machinename/localhost:9000" accessToken="XZodtPym+v6NeZs+Sr4+GK9EGdA=" rootQueueName=".\private$\msmq-demo" doc:name="MSMQ"   >
    <msmq:connection-pooling-profile initialisationPolicy="INITIALISE_ONE" exhaustedAction="WHEN_EXHAUSTED_GROW"/>
</msmq:config>
<flow name="testingFlow1" doc:name="testingFlow1">
    <http:inbound-endpoint exchange-pattern="one-way" host="localhost" port="8091" doc:name="HTTP"/>
    <set-payload value="#[header:INBOUND:http.relative.path]" doc:name="Set Payload"/>
    <logger message=" Sending message: #[payload]" level="INFO" doc:name="Logger"/>
    <msmq:send config-ref="MSMQ" doc:name="MSMQ"/>
</flow>

When the flow hits MSMQ in console I see this error:

    INFO  2014-08-07 18:00:41,299 [[testing].testingFlow1.stage1.02] org.mule.api.processor.LoggerMessageProcessor:  Sending message: test

Any help or directions is welcome! msmq-config picture for clarity: Test connection succeeds

Answer 1

The proof of the pudding is Mule not Studio: if Mule can't connect then Studio most probably can't either, but fails to report the issue.

So you need to fix the msmq:config element until it works.

At first glance, this serviceAddress="machinename/localhost:9000" looks highly suspicious. You should either use the actual machine name and port or localhost and port if running collocated with MSMQ.

Try this example I think service address is wrong.This example for sending message to MSMQ queue
