Howto Run ActiveMQ 5.2 in Tomcat 6 on Windows?

I am looking for a simple, step by step, howto, to setup ActiveMQ with the
web console, running in Tomcat 6.

Where can I find one?

I already have a standalone configuration of ActiveMQ working just fine.
I want to move ActiveMQ into Tomcat.

I have setup Tomcat.
I have copied the activemq-all-5.2.0.jar into the tomcat\lib directory
I have deployed the activemq-web-console-5.2.0.war
I have edited the tomcat\bin\startup.bat file to include

 set JAVA_OPTS="-Dwebconsole.type=properties
-Dwebconsole.jms.url=tcp://localhost:61616
-Dwebconsole.jmx.url=service:jmx:rmi:///jndi/rmi://localhost:1099/JMXConnector
-Dwebconsole.jmx.role=  -Dwebconsole.jmx.password=
-Dactivemq.username=system -Dactivemq.password=manager"

Although, I admit I would be happier with jndi settings but I am only a
beginner at Tomcat configuration. I think I would prefer to set it up in the
conf/context.xml but don't know how.

The ActiveMQ web console shows up as an application, but fails to start,
with the following helpful error.

INFO: Deploying web application archive activemq-web-console-5.2.0.war
2009-09-30 16:57:39,463 [main           ] DEBUG WebConsoleStarter

Sep 30, 2009 4:57:39 PM org.apache.catalina.core.StandardContext start
SEVERE: Context [/activemq-web-console-5.2.0] startup failed due to previous
errors

I have tried copying all the activemq/conf files into the
tomcat\webapps\activemq-web-console-5.2.0\WEB-INF directory, although, I
admit to being uncomfortable with that - there must be a better way.

I also admit to being a but cautious about editing the tomcat startup
script.

Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Hi,

you should use properties only if you wish to connect to the standalone
broker.

To start your own broker inside the tomcat, you should remove JAVA_OPTS from
your startup file.

Copy this file to your WEB-INF/webconsole-embedded.xml

http://svn.apache.org/viewvc/activemq/trunk/activemq-web-console/src/main/webapp/WEB-INF/webconsole-embedded.xml?view=co&content-type=text%2Fplain

and place your activemq.xml inside your WEB-INF folder.

Cheers

Re: Howto Run ActiveMQ 5.2 in Tomcat 6 on Windows?

Posted by lyall <Ly...@The-Pearces.com>.
Gradually making progress, I can run up the ActiveMQ Web Console within
tomcat.

I was running ActiveMQ as a stand-alone broker, I am trying to setup the
stand-alone broker, in Tomcat.
To that end, I can't seem to figure out where I should put the
'activemq.xml' configuration, that I was using in the stand-alone broker.
Basically, I can start up the stand-alone broker, browse to the admin page
and and see queues, etc. The stand-alone broker is configured to talk to
other brokers, not use discovery.

I want to duplicate that functionality within Tomcat. I figure I would need
to put the activemq/conf/* files somewhere.

For those that are interested, the steps I took to get the activemq console
to work in tomcat 6.0.20 on windows are...

    * Download and install Tomcat 6 Windows Service Installer
    * Download ActiveMQ and extract to a temporary location
    * Download the activemq-web-console WAR (find the link in the Example
configuration using Tomcat section of
http://activemq.apache.org/web-console.html). 

Install Tomcat 6

    * Execute the Tomcat Installer
    * Edit $CATALINA_HOME/conf/tomcat-users.xml to look like the following

File: $CATALINA_HOME/conf/tomcat-users.xml

<?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?>
<tomcat-users>
  <role rolename="manager"/>
  <role rolename="admin"/>
  <user username="admin" password="admin" roles="admin,manager"/>
</tomcat-users>

    * Start Tomcat (Start->All Programs->Apache Tomcat 6.0->Monitor Tomcat)
          o If it is not showing the little green triangle, right click it
and start it. 
    * Browse to the tomcat admin page (Start->All Programs->Apache Tomcat
6.0->Tomcat Manager)
    * Login with user/password, as shown in the tomcat-users.xml file 

ActiveMQ Deployment

    * Stop Tomcat
    * Copy $ACTIVEMQ_HOME/activemq-all-5.2.0.jar into $CATALINA_HOME/lib
    * Start Tomcat (Start->All Programs->Apache Tomcat 6.0->Monitor Tomcat)
          o If it is not showing the little green triangle, right click it
and start it. 
    * Deploy ActiveMQ Web Console
          o At the bottom of the manager page, browse to the ActiveMQ Web
Console .war file, in the temporary location and deploy it. 
    * Shutdown Tomcat (right click the systray green triangle)
    * Create
$CATALINA_HOME/conf/Catalina/localhost/activemq-web-console-5.2.0.xml

File: $CATALINA_HOME/conf/Catalina/localhost/activemq-web-console-5.2.0.xml

<?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?>
