<div class="wiki-content maincontent"><p>Starting with 5.3.1, ActiveMQ provides configurable IOException handling for its file-based message stores. From version 5.5 the handler is also invoked when the JDBC persistence adapter gets a failure on <code>getConnection()</code>.</p><h2 id="ConfigurableIOExceptionHandling-DefaultIOExceptionhandler">Default IOException handler</h2><p>ActiveMQ comes with a default IOException handler, which does the following. When some of the file-based message stores encounter IOException it can be one of the two things: either the disk is unavailable of there's no more space on the disk.</p><p>The first case is usually encountered when disk fails or network disk is disconnected. These errors are not "recoverable" and we usually want to shutdown the broker until problems with the disk are solved.</p><p>When there's no more space on the disk, we usually want to wait that some space is reclaimed and continue what we have been doing before (exchanging messages). All file-based persistent stores are capable of surviving these kind of errors.</p><h3 id="ConfigurableIOExceptionHandling-ConfiguringDefaultIOExceptionhandler">Configuring Default IOException handler</h3><p>There are a couple of properties you can use to tune the behavior of the <code>DefaultIOExceptionHandler</code>. First, instantiate the exception handler as a bean. Then configure the broker to use the exception handler by setting the broker's <code>ioExceptionHandler</code> property.</p><p>Example:</p><div class="code panel pdl" style="border-width: 1px;"><div class="codeContent panelContent pdl">
<pre class="brush: xml; gutter: false; theme: Default" style="font-size:12px;"> &lt;bean id="ioExceptionHandler" class="org.apache.activemq.util.DefaultIOExceptionHandler"&gt;
&lt;property name="ignoreAllErrors"&gt;&lt;value&gt;true&lt;/value&gt;&lt;/property&gt;
&lt;/bean&gt;
&lt;broker xmlns="http://activemq.apache.org/schema/core" ioExceptionHandler="#ioExceptionHandler"&gt;

Of course, you can customize this to your platform by using <code style="line-height: 1.42857;">noSpaceMessage</code> property.</span></p><p>Note: as of ActiveMQ 5.11 the <code>JDBCIOExceptionHandler</code> has been deprecated. It has been replaced by the <code>org.apache.activemq.util.LeaseLockerIOExceptionHandler</code> that will work with any persistence adapter that supports pluggable storage lockers whether or not a locker is in use.</p><p><span style="color: rgb(102,0,51);">Writing your own handler</span></p><p>In case this handler doesn't work for you, you can write your own. For example you might want to change the way how you detect full disk and execute some external command, like <code>df</code> on Linux to be sure.</p><p>All you have to do is implement the <code>org.apache.activemq.util.IOExceptionHandler</code> interface then configure the broker to use it:</p><div class="code panel pdl" style="border-width: 1px;"><div class="codeContent panelContent pdl">
