Cut-n-Dry HowTo?

[Swampcritter <mi...@morris.com>]

I am trying out Active MQ for the first time, so bear with me. I have a
number of questions, so I will break them up to make it easier to reply to.

As I have come to realize, Active MQ is not for the faint of heart for
configuring. Coming from an IBM MQ Series background, I am use to setting up
a queue manager on two different servers, a couple of local and remote
queues, and a couple of channels so the servers can communicate with each
other.

Does anyone have a basic 'cut-n-dry' way of doing something of the same --
either with one broker that can accept multiple clients with queue triggers
or two with a channel/network connection between the two sites and
local/remote queues with triggers as well? 

Trying to understand the example activemq.xml and the documents on the
Active MQ site is not easy at all.

Probably the easiest place to start is to run a single broker and send/ 
consume messages from it.  You don't need to setup queues in advance -  
they are created on the fly for you - and just run some of the  
examples - http://activemq.apache.org/version-5-examples.html - to get  
your toes wet.
