how-to-configure-a-new-database.xml

<div class="wiki-content maincontent">
<p>ActiveMQ explicity supports Derby, Axion, HSQL, Oracle, and SQLServer. Below are the steps on how to configure a new database.</p>

<p>1. Modify activemq.xml found in the directory "activemq_home/conf" by editing or adding a JDBC DataSource Configuration.</p>

<p>e.g.</p>

<structured-macro ac:macro-id="8c9473ba-d5ec-4a14-b9dc-dcefecdec2c2" ac:name="code" ac:schema-version="1"><plain-text-body>
  &lt;bean id="mysql-ds" class="org.apache.commons.dbcp.BasicDataSource" destroy-method="close"&gt;
    &lt;property name="driverClassName" value="com.mysql.jdbc.Driver"/&gt;
    &lt;property name="url" value="jdbc:mysql://localhost/activemq"/&gt;
    &lt;property name="username" value="activemq"/&gt;
    &lt;property name="password" value="activemq"/&gt;
    &lt;property name="poolPreparedStatements" value="true"/&gt;
  &lt;/bean&gt;
</plain-text-body></structured-macro>


<p><strong>For AMQ 3.x</strong></p>
<structured-macro ac:macro-id="3423b393-7e75-4fe6-baf4-6d8d7d26dc7e" ac:name="code" ac:schema-version="1"><plain-text-body>
&lt;bean id="mssql-ds" class="org.apache.commons.dbcp.BasicDataSource" destroy-method="close"&gt;
    &lt;property name="driverClassName"&gt;
        &lt;value&gt;com.microsoft.jdbc.sqlserver.SQLServerDriver&lt;/value&gt;
    &lt;/property&gt;
    &lt;property name="url"&gt;
        &lt;value&gt;jdbc:microsoft:sqlserver://localhost:1433;DatabaseName=activedb&lt;/value&gt;
    &lt;/property&gt;
    &lt;property name="username"&gt;
        &lt;value&gt;sa&lt;/value&gt;
    &lt;/property&gt;
    &lt;property name="password"&gt;
        &lt;value&gt;&lt;/value&gt;
    &lt;/property&gt;
    &lt;property name="poolPreparedStatements"&gt;
        &lt;value&gt;true&lt;/value&gt;
    &lt;/property&gt;
&lt;/bean&gt;
</plain-text-body></structured-macro>
<p>2. Set the datasource reference to use the new jdbc configuration e.g &lt;jdbcPersistence dataSourceRef="mssql-ds"/&gt;</p>

<p>3. Place the jdbc driver in the directory "activemq_home/lib/optional".</p></div>
