Embedded Example

This example shows how to setup and run ActiveMQ embedded.

ActiveMQ was designed to use POJOs (Plain Old Java Objects), what makes embedding ActiveMQ as simple as instantiating a few objects.

In this example, we are using two jars:

• activemq-server.jar
• netty.jar

ActiveMQ Embedded could be used from very simple use cases with only InVM support to very complex cases with clustering, persistence and fail over.

Example step-by-step

To run the example, simply type mvn verify -Pexample from this directory

In this we don't use any configuration files. (Everything is embedded). We simply instantiate ConfigurationImpl, ActiveMQServer, start it and operate on JMS regularly

1. Create the Configuration, and set the properties accordingly

           Configuration configuration = new ConfigurationImpl();
           configuration.setEnablePersistence(false);
           configuration.setSecurityEnabled(false);
           configuration.getAcceptorConfigurations().add(new TransportConfiguration(InVMAcceptorFactory.class.getName()));
        

2. Create and start the server

           ActiveMQServer server = ActiveMQ.newActiveMQServer(configuration);
           server.start();
        

3. As we are not using a JNDI environment we instantiate the objects directly

           ServerLocator serverLocator = ActiveMQClient.createServerLocatorWithoutHA(new TransportConfiguration(InVMConnectorFactory.class.getName()));
           ClientSessionFactory sf = serverLocator.createSessionFactory();
        

4. Create a Core Queue

           ClientSession coreSession = sf.createSession(false, false, false);
           final String queueName = "queue.exampleQueue";
           coreSession.createQueue(queueName, queueName, true);
           coreSession.close();
        

5. Create the session and producer

            session = sf.createSession();
                                   
            ClientProducer producer = session.createProducer(queueName);
        

6. Create and send a Message

           ClientMessage message = session.createMessage(false);
           message.putStringProperty(propName, "Hello sent at " + new Date());
           System.out.println("Sending the message.");
           producer.send(message);
        

7. Create the message consumer and start the connection

           ClientConsumer messageConsumer = session.createConsumer(queueName);
           session.start();
        

8. Receive the message

           ClientMessage messageReceived = messageConsumer.receive(1000);
           System.out.println("Received TextMessage:" + messageReceived.getProperty(propName));
        

9. Be sure to close our resources!

           if (sf != null)
           {
              sf.close();
           }
        

10. Stop the server

           server.stop();
