  <title>Embedding HornetQ</title>

  <para>HornetQ is designed as set of simple Plain Old Java Objects (POJOs).
  This means HornetQ can be instantiated and run in any dependency injection
  framework such as JBoss Microcontainer, Spring or Google Guice. It also
  means that if you have an application that could use messaging functionality
  internally, then it can <emphasis>directly instantiate</emphasis> HornetQ
  clients and servers in its own application code to perform that
  functionality. We call this <emphasis>embedding</emphasis> HornetQ.</para>

  <para>Examples of applications that might want to do this include any
  application that needs very high performance, transactional, persistent
  messaging but doesn't want the hassle of writing it all from scratch.</para>

  <para>Embedding HornetQ can be done in very few easy steps. Instantiate the
  configuration object, instantiate the server, start it, and you have a
  HornetQ running in your virtual machine. It's as simple and easy as
  that.</para>

  <section>
    <title>Simple Config File Embedding</title>

    <para>The simplest way to embed HornetQ is to use the embedded wrapper
    classes and configure HornetQ through its configuration files. There are
    two different helper classes for this depending on whether your using the
    HornetQ Core API or JMS.</para>

    <section>
      <title>Core API Only</title>
      <para>For instantiating a core HornetQ Server only, the steps are pretty
      simple. The example requires that you have defined a configuration file
      <literal>hornetq-configuration.xml</literal> in your
      classpath:</para>
        <programlisting>
import org.apache.activemq.core.server.embedded.EmbeddedHornetQ;

...

EmbeddedHornetQ embedded = new EmbeddedHornetQ();
embedded.start();

ClientSessionFactory nettyFactory =  HornetQClient.createClientSessionFactory(
                                        new TransportConfiguration(
                                           InVMConnectorFactory.class.getName()));

ClientSession session = factory.createSession();

session.createQueue("example", "example", true);

ClientProducer producer = session.createProducer("example");

ClientMessage message = session.createMessage(true);

message.getBody().writeString("Hello");

producer.send(message);

session.start();

ClientConsumer consumer = session.createConsumer("example");

ClientMessage msgReceived = consumer.receive();

System.out.println("message = " + msgReceived.getBody().readString());

session.close();</programlisting>

<para>The <literal>EmbeddedHornetQ</literal> class has a
      few additional setter methods that allow you to specify a different
      config file name as well as other properties. See the javadocs for this
      class for more details.</para>
    </section>

    <section id="simple.embedded.jms">
      <title>JMS API</title>

      <para>JMS embedding is simple as well. This example requires that you
      have defined the config files
      <literal>hornetq-configuration.xml</literal>,
      <literal>hornetq-jms.xml</literal>, and a
      <literal>hornetq-users.xml</literal> if you have security enabled. Let's
      also assume that a queue and connection factory has been defined in the
      <literal>hornetq-jms.xml</literal> config file.</para>

      <programlisting>
import org.apache.activemq.jms.server.embedded.EmbeddedJMS;

...

EmbeddedJMS jms = new EmbeddedJMS();
jms.start();

// This assumes we have configured hornetq-jms.xml with the appropriate config information
ConnectionFactory connectionFactory = jms.lookup("ConnectionFactory");
Destination destination = jms.lookup("/example/queue");

... regular JMS code ...</programlisting>
        <para>By default, the <literal>EmbeddedJMS</literal>
      class will store component entries defined within your
      <literal>hornetq-jms.xml</literal> file in an internal concurrent hash
      map. The <literal>EmbeddedJMS.lookup()</literal> method returns
      components stored in this map. If you want to use JNDI, call the
      <literal>EmbeddedJMS.setContext()</literal> method with the root JNDI
      context you want your components bound into. See the javadocs for this
      class for more details on other config options.</para>
    </section>
  </section>

  <section>
    <title>POJO instantiation - Embedding Programmatically</title>

    <para>You can follow this step-by-step guide to programmatically embed the
    core, non-JMS HornetQ Server instance:</para>

    <para>Create the configuration object - this contains configuration
    information for a HornetQ instance. The setter methods of this class allow
    you to programmatically set configuration options as describe in the <xref
    linkend="server.configuration" /> section.</para>

    <para>The acceptors are configured through
    <literal>ConfigurationImpl</literal>. Just add the
    <literal>NettyAcceptorFactory</literal> on the transports the same way you
    would through the main configuration file.</para>

    <programlisting>
import org.apache.activemq.core.config.Configuration;
import org.apache.activemq.core.config.impl.ConfigurationImpl;

...

Configuration config = new ConfigurationImpl();
HashSet&lt;TransportConfiguration> transports = new HashSet&lt;TransportConfiguration>();
      
transports.add(new TransportConfiguration(NettyAcceptorFactory.class.getName()));
transports.add(new TransportConfiguration(InVMAcceptorFactory.class.getName()));

config.setAcceptorConfigurations(transports);</programlisting>

    <para>You need to instantiate an instance of
    <literal>org.apache.activemq.api.core.server.embedded.EmbeddedHornetQ</literal>
    and add the configuration object to it.</para>

    <programlisting>
import org.apache.activemq.api.core.server.HornetQ;
import org.apache.activemq.core.server.embedded.EmbeddedHornetQ;

...

EmbeddedHornetQ server = new EmbeddedHornetQ();
server.setConfiguration(config);

server.start();</programlisting>

    <para>You also have the option of instantiating
    <literal>HornetQServerImpl</literal> directly:</para>

    <programlisting>
HornetQServer server = new HornetQServerImpl(config);
server.start();</programlisting>

    <para>For JMS POJO instantiation, you work with the EmbeddedJMS class
    instead as described earlier. First you define the configuration
    programmatically for your ConnectionFactory and Destination objects, then
    set the JmsConfiguration property of the EmbeddedJMS class. Here is an
    example of this:</para>

    <programlisting>
// Step 1. Create HornetQ core configuration, and set the properties accordingly
Configuration configuration = new ConfigurationImpl();
configuration.setPersistenceEnabled(false);
configuration.setSecurityEnabled(false);
configuration.getAcceptorConfigurations().add(new TransportConfiguration(NettyAcceptorFactory.class.getName()));

// Step 2. Create the JMS configuration
JMSConfiguration jmsConfig = new JMSConfigurationImpl();

// Step 3. Configure the JMS ConnectionFactory
TransportConfiguration connectorConfig = new TransportConfiguration(NettyConnectorFactory.class.getName());
ConnectionFactoryConfiguration cfConfig = new ConnectionFactoryConfigurationImpl("cf", connectorConfig, "/cf");
jmsConfig.getConnectionFactoryConfigurations().add(cfConfig);

// Step 4. Configure the JMS Queue
JMSQueueConfiguration queueConfig = new JMSQueueConfigurationImpl("queue1", null, false, "/queue/queue1");
jmsConfig.getQueueConfigurations().add(queueConfig);

// Step 5. Start the JMS Server using the HornetQ core server and the JMS configuration
EmbeddedJMS jmsServer = new EmbeddedJMS();
jmsServer.setConfiguration(configuration);
jmsServer.setJmsConfiguration(jmsConfig);
jmsServer.start();</programlisting>

    <para>Please see <xref linkend="examples.embedded.jms" /> for an example which
    shows how to setup and run HornetQ embedded with JMS.</para>
  </section>

  <section>
    <title>Dependency Frameworks</title>

    <para>You may also choose to use a dependency injection framework such as
    <trademark>JBoss Micro Container</trademark> or <trademark>Spring
    Framework</trademark>. See <xref linkend="spring.integration" /> for more
    details on Spring and HornetQ, but here's how you would do things with the
    JBoss Micro Container.</para>

    <para>HornetQ standalone uses JBoss Micro Container as the injection
    framework. <literal>HornetQBootstrapServer</literal> and
    <literal>hornetq-beans.xml</literal> which are part of the HornetQ
    distribution provide a very complete implementation of what's needed to
    bootstrap the server using JBoss Micro Container.</para>

    <para>When using JBoss Micro Container, you need to provide an XML file
    declaring the <literal>HornetQServer</literal> and
    <literal>Configuration</literal> object, you can also inject a security
    manager and a MBean server if you want, but those are optional.</para>

    <para>A very basic XML Bean declaration for the JBoss Micro Container
    would be:</para>

    <programlisting>
&lt;?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
&lt;deployment xmlns="urn:jboss:bean-deployer:2.0">
   &lt;!-- The core configuration -->
   &lt;bean name="Configuration" 
         class="org.apache.activemq.core.config.impl.FileConfiguration">
   &lt;/bean>

     &lt;!-- The core server -->
   &lt;bean name="HornetQServer" 
         class="org.apache.activemq.core.server.impl.HornetQServerImpl">
      &lt;constructor>
         &lt;parameter>
            &lt;inject bean="Configuration"/>
         &lt;/parameter>
      &lt;/constructor>
   &lt;/bean>
&lt;/deployment></programlisting>

    <para><literal>HornetQBootstrapServer</literal> provides an easy
    encapsulation of JBoss Micro Container.</para>

    <programlisting>
HornetQBootstrapServer bootStrap = new HornetQBootstrapServer(new String[] {"hornetq-beans.xml"});
bootStrap.run();</programlisting>
