<div class="wiki-content maincontent"><h2>Broker XBean URI</h2>

<p>The Broker XBean URI allows you to <link><page ri:content-title="Run Broker"></page><link-body>run a configured broker</link-body></link> by referencing an <link><page ri:content-title="Xml Configuration"></page></link> on the classpath. The URI points to an XML document which can be parsed via XBean or Spring. This URI is typically on the classpath; though in 4.2 onwards you can point to a file or URL as well.</p>
