# Vert.x Integration

[Vert.x](http://vertx.io/) is a lightweight, high performance
application platform for the JVM that's designed for modern mobile, web,
and enterprise applications. Vert.x provides a distributed event bus
that allows messages to be sent across vert.x instances and clients. You
can now redirect and persist any vert.x messages to ActiveMQ and route
those messages to a specified vertx address by configuring ActiveMQ
vertx incoming and outgoing vertx connector services.

## Configuring a Vertx Incoming Connector Service

Vertx Incoming Connector services receive messages from vertx event bus
and route them to a ActiveMQ queue. Such a service can be configured as
follows:

    <connector-service name="vertx-incoming-connector">
    <factory-class>org.apache.activemq.integration.vertx.VertxIncomingConnectorServiceFactory</factory-class>
    <param key="host" value="127.0.0.1"/>
    <param key="port" value="0"/>
    <param key="queue" value="jms.queue.vertxQueue"/>
    <param key="vertx-address" value="vertx.in.eventaddress"/>
    </connector-service>


Shown are the required params for the connector service:

-   `queue`. The name of the ActiveMQ queue to send message to.

As well as these required parameters there are the following optional
parameters

-   `host`. The host name on which the vertx target container is
    running. Default is localhost.

-   `port`. The port number to which the target vertx listens. Default
    is zero.

-   `quorum-size`. The quorum size of the target vertx instance.

-   `ha-group`. The name of the ha-group of target vertx instance.
    Default is `activemq`.

-   `vertx-address`. The vertx address to listen to. default is
    `org.apache.activemq`.

## Configuring a Vertx Outgoing Connector Service

Vertx Outgoing Connector services fetch vertx messages from a ActiveMQ
queue and put them to vertx event bus. Such a service can be configured
as follows:

    <connector-service name="vertx-outgoing-connector">
    <factory-class>org.apache.activemq.integration.vertx.VertxOutgoingConnectorServiceFactory</factory-class>
    <param key="host" value="127.0.0.1"/>
    <param key="port" value="0"/>
    <param key="queue" value="jms.queue.vertxQueue"/>
    <param key="vertx-address" value="vertx.out.eventaddress"/>
    <param key="publish" value="true"/>
    </connector-service>


Shown are the required params for the connector service:

-   `queue`. The name of the ActiveMQ queue to fetch message from.

As well as these required paramaters there are the following optional
parameters

-   `host`. The host name on which the vertx target container is
    running. Default is localhost.

-   `port`. The port number to which the target vertx listens. Default
    is zero.

-   `quorum-size`. The quorum size of the target vertx instance.

-   `ha-group`. The name of the ha-group of target vertx instance.
    Default is `activemq`.

-   `vertx-address`. The vertx address to put messages to. default is
    org.apache.activemq.

-   `publish`. How messages is sent to vertx event bus. "true" means
    using publish style. "false" means using send style. Default is
    false.
