Does ActiveMQ support multiple config files?

Hello,

I know ActiveMQ uses the activemq.xml config file. I am wondering whether there is a way to have multiple config files? For example, cron would have an /etc/cron.d/ directory and everything under that would be sourced. Does ActiveMQ have something similar? Or do I have to modify the activemq.xml file directly?

Many thanks,

  Fabrice

Hi Fabrice

You can specify the file you want to use at startup:

$ activemq start xbean:/path/to/myfile.xml

Matt and JB seem to have answered different questions, where Matt seemed to
be talking about segmenting a single config across multiple files and JB
was talking about the ability to have multiple distinct configs and choose
one of them when launching. Which of those scenarios do you mean?

Hi,

I think it’s already possible. Anyway you have a single file to load broker definition. So, you can provide the file as argument.

Hello Fabrice-

This is a good idea, and one I’d work on. There are conversations around updating how ActiveMQ is configured and booted in 5.17.x and future versions— this would fit well there. Feel free to open a JIRA (https://issues.apache.org/jira <https://issues.apache.org/jira>) 

Thanks!
