Using ActiveMQ > Configuring Transports > ActiveMQ Connection URIs > Broker Configuration URI > Broker XBean URI
The Broker XBean URI allows you to run a configured broker by referencing an Xml Configuration 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.
| Syntax | Description |
|---|---|
| xbean:classPathResource | Where classPathResource is some name which is resolved on the classpath and interpreted to be an XML document. |
| xbean:file:filePathResource | Where filePathResource is some name which is resolved on the file system and interpreted to be an XML document. |
| xbean:urlResource | Where urlResource is some resource which points to an XML document |
