Easiest way to (pre-)fill/add new msgs into an ActiveMQ server?

[Ben Stover <bx...@yahoo.co.uk>]

Assume I started a new installed ActiveMQ server on a new server machine.

Now I want to pre-fill (e.g. for presentation or testing purposes) this ActiveMQ server with a couple of
sample msgs.

What is the easiest way to do that?
I don't want to do this manually through the browser interface.

I prefer a batch script where all header fields and the payload are can be entered directly
for each msg.

How can I do this in detail?
How would such a command look like?

Thank you
Ben

Hi Ben,

Like Thorsten and Jaskirat said you have a few options but you can also run any of those samples shipped with ActiveMQ as well.

Have a look at $AMQ_HOME/example and you can easily run an Ant script with the options described on the build.xml file where you can configure the broker URL, destination, persistence, etc.

Hope this helps,

-Marcelo

Hi Ben
I always use Java client to send test messages. Write any client code in
your language and use command line to control it.

Thanks

Hello Ben,

You have a couple of options for sending messages to the broker:
- Use the web console 
- use JMX operation (e.g. via JConsole)
- use other external tools that aren't provided by ActiveMQ like HermesJMS
- write you own little application

There is no such tool shipped with ActiveMQ. However you could write one yourself using any scripting language (e.g. Perl, Ruby) and the STOMP protocol.
