Apache ActiveMQ ™ -- Configure version 5 Brokers
Using ActiveMQ 5 > Configure version 5 Brokers
Overview
There is an updates XML syntax for configuring message brokers - see here
So we decided that using XML would make this configuration much easier. we use XBean to perform the XML configuration.
For details of the XML see the Xml Reference
Be careful with broker names and URIs
Make sure you do not use any strange characters in the names of brokers as they are converted to URIs which do not allow things like underscores in them etc.
Examples
The default ActiveMQ configuration: current default config.
From the binary distributionthere is an activemq script allowing you to run a Message Broker as a stand alone process from the command line easily providing the $ACTIVEMQ_HOME/bin directory is on your PATH.
