Hi I’m trying to configure my Solace that runs on testcontainers and Springboot JMS . The container starts up just fine, but the container is not setup the way I need it. I need it to have some queues and I’m having a hard time finding a way to get it running. I tried to create one with testcontainers equivalent to docker exec curl … but unsuccessfully so since the Solace container cant access curl or apt-get (error: starting container process caused: exec: “apt-get”: stat apt-get: no such file or directory: unknown ) I tried to create a queue with the JCSMPFactory, but I get a org.springframework.jms.InvalidDestinationException: Error sending message - queue not found (400: Queue Not Found - Topic ‘#P2P/QUE/MyQueue’); I could \> try to send POST request to SEMPv2 to set up the Queues but it doesn’t feel right to add a foreign dependency just to setup solace. Does anybody see the reason why my code isn’t working? Is there a way to setup Queues within the container (using docker exec)?

Hi @rothek , I think what is happening here is that JCSMPFactory.createQueue(…) just creates the queue object in your app locally and not on the broker. You’ll need to call JCSMPSession.provision(…) to actually create it on the broker. More info on provision here Sample code here: [solace-samples-java-jcsmp/src/main/java/com/solace/samples/jcsmp/features/TopicToQueueMapping.java at master · SolaceSamples/solace-samples-java-jcsmp · GitHub](https://github.com/SolaceSamples/solace-samples-java-jcsmp/blob/master/src/main/java/com/solace/samples/jcsmp/features/TopicToQueueMapping.java#L103:L118) ---

Weird, does that happen every time you run it? It looks like a network issue might have occurred but that doesn’t make much sense if you’re running against a local broker. Another guess is maybe the broker isn’t fully started inside of the container yet. Just to test sleep for 30 seconds after solace.start() in AbstractPubSubPlusTestCase. It shouldn’t really take 30 seconds but that should be plenty of time to troubleshoot if that is the issue or not and you can shorten the time to see how long it really needs if so. ---

Yeah happens every time, even with a 30s sleep after starting the container. [Context\_4\_ReactorThread] INFO com.solacesystems.jcsmp.impl.flow.BindRequestTask - Client-4: Got BIND (‘Q/MyQueue’) Error Response (503) - Unknown Queue I get this error like 3 times until my test for some reason still turn green. I mean its ok, since in the end it still works somehow, but it would be nice to reduce logging during tests. Maybe the following lines are more helpful? [Context\_7\_ReactorThread] INFO com.solacesystems.jcsmp.protocol.impl.TcpClientChannel - Client-7: (Client name:   Local port: 65162  Remote addr: localhost Remote port: 65125) - handleException(): Channel Closed Event (smfclient 7) [Context\_7\_ReactorThread] INFO com.solacesystems.jcsmp.protocol.impl.TcpClientChannel - Client-7: handleException(): Channel Closed Event (smfclient 7) with exception: null cur\_stack=Thread: “Context\_7\_ReactorThread” daemon id=176, prio=5:   com.solacesystems.jcsmp.protocol.impl.TcpClientChannel.handleException(TcpClientChannel.java:1374)   com.solacesystems.jcsmp.protocol.impl.TcpClientChannel.handleException(TcpClientChannel.java:1325)   com.solacesystems.jcsmp.protocol.nio.impl.SubscriberMessageReader.handleClosedSocketDuringRead(SubscriberMessageReader.java:203)   com.solacesystems.jcsmp.protocol.smf.SimpleSmfClient.handleClosedSocketDuringRead(SimpleSmfClient.java:1184)   com.solacesystems.jcsmp.protocol.nio.impl.SyncEventDispatcherReactor.processReactorChannels(SyncEventDispatcherReactor.java:229)   com.solacesystems.jcsmp.protocol.nio.impl.SyncEventDispatcherReactor.eventLoop(SyncEventDispatcherReactor.java:157)   com.solacesystems.jcsmp.protocol.nio.impl.SyncEventDispatcherReactor$SEDReactorThread.run(SyncEventDispatcherReactor.java:338)   java.base/java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:833) \> (This is logged twice for the same client and no other client) I’m also autowiring the JMSTemplate for my message handler with the default ConnectionFactory. I’m trying to find out if this is the culprit. Some more info about my setup: Running IntelliJ 2022.1 on Win 10, testcontainer on (1.17.1), my solace depencies are com.solace.spring.boot:solace-jms-spring-boot-autoconfigure > com.solace.spring.boot:solace-jms-spring-boot-starter > org.springframework.integration:spring-integration-jms > all on their latest release. > I have a postgres db and some other containers running which are required for testing (they’re not running via testcontainers atm) ---

Hi @rothek , In my case my container is created but as I am trying to login into solace the container is getting exited. I have tried with withStartupCheckStrategy but I am getting the same issue. Please let me know if you have faced similar issue and if so please can you guide me to solve this.
