ActiveMQ: Network of Brokers
Hello,
I am new to Geronimo and ActiveMQ and have been researching and playing
with both. With ActiveMQ, I really like the idea of a network of
brokers. And, of course, I like Geronimo as it provides MDB, connection
management, etc... as well as all the other app server stuff. So, I
have been trying to figure out how to set up a network of brokers with
Geronimo, but have not been able to figure out how to do it in both
directions.
Using the following configuration, I have run a stand alone ActiveMQ
instance and been able to send messages through it to the Geronimo
server but not the other way around (from the Geronimo server).
<networkConnectors>
<!-- by default just auto discover the other brokers -->
<!--<networkConnector name="default-nc"
uri="multicast://default"/>-->
<networkConnector name="host1"
uri="static://(tcp://somehost:61616)" failover="true"/>
</networkConnectors>
I am looking for a way to have the ActiveMQ instance running within
Geronimo to listen to other servers as well as described here
(http://activemq.apache.org/networks-of-brokers.html). Am I going about
this correctly? Is this something that can be easily done, meant to be
done? Any info would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Paul

Thanks. I greatly appreciate it. I am going to give it a go as well as
maybe just having an instance of ActiveMQ running outside of Geronimo.

Looks pretty straight forward, but a build is in order. Does that sound
right to you?
that's it! although it may be rather out of date for g. 2.x.
What I would recommend doing is turning off the provided activemq-broker
and activemq-ra modules and deploying your own with appropriate
configuration, in particular with dependencies on all the jars you need
to make amq work this way. In trunk you can do this pretty easily as a
plugin but earlier you can just deploy the plans into the running server
using the console or command line deployer.
If there are hidden dependencies on the activemq-broker module (I
suspect some from openejb in geronimo 2.x) you may need to include a
line like
org.apache.geronimo.configs/activemq-broker//car=com.myco/myamq-broker/1
.0/car
in your var/config/artifact_aliases.properties.
I haven't actually tried this particular maneuver so there may be
complications. Feel free to ask for help :-)
You can also change the plan in the server source code and rebuild but
obviously that is somewhat harder to maintain.

I can only point you in a direction to look....
I think you need to configure the activemq broker running in
geronimo using the spring (or xbean-spring) configuration rather than
through gbean configuration: then you can use the sample xml the amq
docs show. IIRC there is a flag on one of the AMQ gbeans that tells it
where the spring xml file is.
IIRC someone has succeeded in doing this and posted some info on
the dev list in the fairly distant past. There might be some wiki docs
but I don't think so. If you get this working and could contribute some
notes on a wiki page that would be great, especially if you are using g.
2.x
thanks

Looks pretty straight forward, but a build is in order. Does that sound
