 FAQ > Configuration > How do I configure ActiveMQ to use AIO server transport

For Windows XP:

1. Download AIO (Asynchronous IO for Java) from IBM (http://www.alphaworks.ibm.com/tech/aio4j).

2. Unzip the downloaded file and copy the following files:

   • ibmaio.dll
   • ibmaio-1.0.jar

3. Place ibmaio.dll into Windows System32 folder. (You may need to restart afterwards for this to take effect)

4. Include ibmaio-1.0.jar in the classpath.

5. Edit ActiveMQ's configuration file (activemq.xml, found in the conf folder). Look the following snippet:

   <!-- ==================================================================== -->
   <!-- ActiveMQ Broker Configuration -->
   <!-- ==================================================================== -->
   <broker>
    <connector>
     <tcpServerTransport uri="tcp://localhost:61616" backlog="1000" useAsyncSend="true" maxOutstandingMessages="50"/>
    </connector>
       .
       .
   </broker>   
   

   Change the connector settings, change tcpServerTransport to serverTransport and remove the unneeded parameters):

   <connector>
    <serverTransport uri="activeio:aio://<ip address>:<port>" />
   </connector>
   

   Example:

   <connector>
    <serverTransport uri="activeio:aio://192.168.0.162:61616" />
   </connector>
