[jira] Created: (AMQ-1241) Make WebConsole run as a standalone WAR

Make WebConsole run as a standalone WAR
---------------------------------------

                 Key: AMQ-1241
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/activemq/browse/AMQ-1241
             Project: ActiveMQ
          Issue Type: Improvement
    Affects Versions: 4.2.0
            Reporter: Mario Siegenthaler


The WebConsole is a really nice thing, however you should be able to run it as a standalone war connecting to a remote broker (another vm or another server). This improves the following (IMO):
 * stability of the broker itself as the web-console can f.e. eat up all available memory (try looking at a large queue) or do other bad things
 * deployment (many companys have a standard deployment process for war-files as well as preconfigured application server to put them into)
 * backward-compatibility (webconsole per se does not depend on a 4.2 broker, it runs just fine with 4.1 and 4.0)
 * support for master-slave configurations with auto-failover (f.e. with a failover jmx syntax as well as the existing failover syntax for the jms connection)

Related to this bug/improvement is the current mean behaviour of the web-console with non-default named brokers (sometimes using the web-console will end up in a second broker beeing started).

Re: [jira] Commented: (AMQ-1241) Make WebConsole run as a standalone WAR

Posted by Mario Siegenthaler <ma...@gmail.com>.
I've not implemented any username/password jmx authentication in the
patch. I'll try look into that some time next week, since I'm actually
gonna need that myself :)
BTW James has applied the patch (a modified version of it) to the head now.

Hello,

I would like to use this patch.
I patch my files but on run I get a security error on activeMQ connection.
Where can I specify username & passwords ? (those I specified in JCOnsole)

Thx

[jira] Commented: (AMQ-1241) Make WebConsole run as a standalone WAR

Mario Siegenthaler commented on AMQ-1241:
-----------------------------------------

Since I don't want to be the mean guy I actually did something about it :)

The attached patch allows 3 modes of operation, chosen via a VM-Flag (webconsole.type)
 * jndi (default): Gets a connection factory from "jms/connectionFactory" and the jmx-connection-string (f.e. service:jmx:rmi:///jndi/rmi://localhost:1099/jmxrmi) from "jmx/url"
 * properties: Uses the system properties webconsole.jms.url and webconsole.jmx.url for the urls of the JMS resp. JMX connectors of the broker
 * invm: Uses BrokerRegistry.findFirst() for the broker (fixes the current bug with custom named brokers)

All modes support the following (well, the invm-mode doesn't really^^):
 * jmx-Failover: Syntax: <url1>, <url2>, <url3>, ... (f.e. "service:jmx:rmi:///jndi/rmi://serverA:1099/jmxrmi, service:jmx:rmi:///jndi/rmi://serverB:1099/jmxrmi") that chooses the first available broker
 * jms-Failover: Standard behaviour of the connectionfactory, no code changed


Other things changed:
 * Fixed the handling of the 'query'-object in the request-context of spring (was bugged before, they wouldn't get cleaned up at the end of the request, leading to leftover open consumers)
 * removed any direct usage of vm://localhost since that often leaded to not-wanted broker startups
 * explicit initialization of the WebClient class (so it'd use the right ConnectionFactory)
 * Changed the WebClient to use the JMS-classes instead of the ActiveMQ specific ones (removes problems with application-server-provided session/connection pooling)


Things that don't work yet or are missing:
 * QueueBrowserServlet: This class does own connection handling and creating. I couldn't find out why it'd do that, but I didn't dare doing a that deep change. So atm the RSS/Atom feeds are broken in the web-console
 * running the war inside the broker (former standard-configuration) doesn't work due to classloader issues (specific: BrokerRegistry is twice in the classpath). I'd suggest to reconfigure the jetty classloading or to remove the active-mq jars from the 'in-broker-war'.
 * the patch misses the change to the startup-scripts to set the system-property "webconsole-type" to invm
 * documentation (apart from this here)


I'd be happy to discuss this change with you guys and get some input about the changes I made. I don't look at them at finished now, but as a step in the direction.
Thanks and greetings Mario
