| Deploying the ActiveMQ-WebConsole |
| ================================= |
| |
| In the default configuration ActiveMQ automatically starts the web console in the |
| same VM as the broker. The console is accessibly under http://localhost:8161/admin/. |
| |
| |
| However it's also possible to start the web console in a seperate VM and connect it |
| to the broker via JMS and JMX. The reasons to do so may include increased reliablity |
| of the broker itself (f.e. the embedded web console could use up all the available |
| memory) or the monitoring of a master/slave system. |
| |
| Just deploy the war into your prefered servlet container and add the apache-activemq.jar |
| to the classpath of the container (f.e. under Tomcat that'd be common/lib and under |
| Jetty the lib-directory). Two options are available for the configuration of the broker |
| and jmx uri(s): |
| |
| * System Properties |
| ----------------- |
| Specify the following system properties in your webcontainer: |
| -Dwebconsole.type=properties |
| -Dwebconsole.jms.url=<url of the broker> (f.e. tcp://localhost:61616) |
| -Dwebconsole.jmx.url=<jmx url to the broker> (f.e. service:jmx:rmi:///jndi/rmi://localhost:1099/jmxrmi) |
| |
| * JNDI |
| ---- |
| If your servlet container supports JNDI it's possible to use a JMS-ConnectionFactory |
| configured outside the war: |
| java:comp/env/jms/connectionFactory: javax.jms.ConnectionFactory for the broker |
| java:comp/env/jmx/url: URL of the brokers JMX (Type java.lang.String) |
| |
| |
| |
| Master/Slave monitoring |
| ----------------------- |
| To configure the web console to monitor a master/slave configuration configure the jms/jmx |
| as follows (system properties shown, but this option is also avaiable when using JNDI): |
| -Dwebconsole.jms.url=failover:(tcp://serverA:61616,tcp://serverB:61616) |
| -Dwebconsole.jmx.url=service:jmx:rmi:///jndi/rmi://serverA:1099/jmxrmi,service:jmx:rmi:///jndi/rmi://serverB:1099/jmxrmi |
| With this configuration the web console with switch to the slave as the master is no longer |
| available and back as soon as the master is back up. |
