Using ActiveMQ > Configuring Transports > ActiveMQ Connection URIs > Broker Configuration URI > Broker URI
The Broker URI allows you to run a configured broker using a single URI for all the configuration.
The URI is assumed to be a composite uri with multiple uris that are used to bind the connectors of the broker.
broker:(transportURI,network:networkURI)/brokerName?brokerOptions
If a composite URI use the network: scheme, then the rest of the URI is bound as a network connector.
| Option Name | Default Value | Description |
|---|---|---|
| useJmx | rue | Should the broker be exposed to JMX? |
| persistent | true | Should the broker use persistent storage |
| populateJMSXUserID | false | Should the broker populate the JMSXUserID property of messages to indicate the authenticated sender username who sent the message |
| useShutdownHook | true | should the broker install a shutdown hook so that it can properly shut itself down on a JVM kill |
| brokerName | localhost | The name of the broker |
| deleteAllMessagesOnStartup | false | Should all the messages in the persistent store be deleted on broker startup |
| enableStatistics | true | Should statistics gathering be enabled |
The following example starts up a broker accepting connections on port 61616, and establishes a network connection to remotehost:61616 and disables persistence.
broker:(tcp://localhost:61616,network:static:tcp://remotehost:61616)?persistent=false&useJmx=true
You can use the Broker URI on other transports
If you are using another transport - such as the VM Transport Reference then you can refer to the above broker URI properties inside that URL. e.g. using the URL
vm://localhost?broker.persistent=false
