Trying to get started: how do I configure Tomcat to run ActiveMQ?
After downloading ActiveMQ 4.1.1, I managed to sucessfully run it as
stand-alone.
As a following step, I tried to get Tomcat to start the same process - and
that's where I get lost!
I have tried adding a ConnectionFactory and Queue to the
<GlobalNamingResources> element, and they do show up on the resource page of
the Tomcat manager, but so far I can see no processes being started.
A step-by-step description of how to do this would be much appreciated.
Henk van Voorthuijsen
PS. My configuration:
Windows XP
Tomcat 5.5.17
ActiveMQ 4.1.1

The approach which I used for starting active mq broker via Tomcat
server is as follows
1) Include the connection factory for starting the active mq broker in
Tomcat/conf/context.xml as follows
<Resource
name="jms/ConnectionFactory"
auth="Container"
type="org.apache.activemq.ActiveMQConnectionFactory"
description="JMS Connection Factory"
factory="org.apache.activemq.jndi.JNDIReferenceFactory"
brokerURL="vm://localhost?brokerConfig=xbean:activemq.xml"
/>
Make sure that activemq.xml should be present in the classpath of
Tomcat. You can also specify brokerConfig as
brokerConfig=xbean:file:./activemq.xml.
3)The active mq jars should be placed under (Tomcat/common/lib) of
Tomcat
4)The Queues/Topics can be defined under Tomcat/conf/context.xml.
<Resource name="jms/TopicOne"
auth="Container"
type="org.apache.activemq.command.ActiveMQTopic"
description="the topic against which the client back
end will publish and server back end would subscribe"
factory="org.apache.activemq.jndi.JNDIReferenceFactory"
physicalName="FOO1.BAR"/>
<Resource name="jms/TopicTwo"
auth="Container"
type="org.apache.activemq.command.ActiveMQTopic"
description="the topic against which the server back
end will publish and client back end would subscribe"
factory="org.apache.activemq.jndi.JNDIReferenceFactory"
physicalName="FOO2.BAR"/>
5) The code for connecting to the broker is as follows
Ictx = new javax.naming.InitialContext();
envContext = (Context) Ictx.lookup("java:comp/env");
TopicConnectionFactory sampleconnectionFactory =
(TopicConnectionFactoryenvContext.lookup("jms/ConnectionFactory");
The broker is created and started when the first attempt to connect to
the broker is made.
Thanks,
Suchitha.

Hi,
Im not sure if activemq can be started via tomcat, however I know you
can publish/subscribe to activemq topics/queue over web interface. You
need to copy/link few of the jar files in activemq/lib and
activemq/lib/optional to tomcat's lib folder.
Then in tomcat's conf/web.xml:
1. add context params params for: org.apache.activemq.brokerURL and turn
on
org.apache.activemq.embeddedBroker
2. map REST servlets, mainly the : org.apache.activemq.web.AjaxServlet
and
org.apache.activemq.web.MessageServlet
3. map url to the above servlets, by practise, you can use /amq and
/message

Well you send messages to a queue using a JMS producer and consume
them from the same queue using a JMS consumer. There are examples of
each of these in the examples directory of ActiveMQ. They work right
out of the box if your run them like this:
1) In one terminal, start up ActiveMQ:
$ ./bin/activemq
2) In a second terminal, run the JMS producer:
$ cd <ACTIVEMQ-HOME>/examples
$ ant producer
3) In the second terminal, now run the JMS consumer:
$ ant consumer
This will demonstrate producing messages to a queue named TEST.FOO and
consuming messages from the same queue. This is how the producer and
the consumer communicate - via the queue.

It all looks very sensible - however, all how-to's I encountered so far tell
me how to configure a broker, or a receiver or a sender - but not together!
So now the question becomes: how do I set up a sender and receiver so that
they can actually communicate (using JNDI lookup if possible)?

This is great info for others in the community. It would really be
great if you could add more detail to the Tomcat page on the ActiveMQ
website:
http://activemq.apache.org/setting-up-activemq-with-tomcat-559.html
Just register for a wiki account here:
http://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/signup.action
And as soon as that is complete, you can start adding or editing pages
on the wiki.

Re: Trying to get started: how do I configure Tomcat to run
ActiveMQ?
Posted by wbickford <wi...@yahoo.com>.
I got frustrated with trying to setup jndi configuration when trying to run
as an embedded server. I'm using Resin (not Tomcat) - I configured directly
from a java startup servlet. This might help if you just want to get it
running, probably would work with Tomcat. Here's what I did:
1) Copied all jars from lib directory to my lib. Did not use the optional
libs.
2) Created a startup servlet with this in the init() method:
static BrokerService brokerService; ....
BrokerFactoryBean factoryBean = new BrokerFactoryBean(new
FileSystemResource("/opt/resin/webapps/lc/WEB-INF/classes/com/sadromance/mq/activemq.xml"));
factoryBean.afterPropertiesSet();
brokerService = factoryBean.getBroker();
3) ** Think this was Resin-specific but had to 3 xalan, xerces libs and
related web.xml entries.
I also had problems using the example programs which had too much bloat in
them to get them running quickly, can provide much simplified versions of
these.
