ActiveMQ Component
The ActiveMQ component allows messages to be sent to a JMS
Queue or Topic; or messages to be consumed from a JMS Queue or Topic using Apache ActiveMQ
.
This component is based on the JMS Component and uses Spring's JMS support for declarative transactions, using Spring's JmsTemplate for sending and a MessageListenerContainer for consuming.
To use this component make sure you have the activemq.jar or activemq-core.jar on your classpath along with any Camel dependencies such as camel-core.jar, camel-spring.jar and camel-jms.jar.
URI format
activemq:[topic:]destinationName
So for example to send to queue FOO.BAR you would use
You can be completely specific if you wish via
If you want to send to a topic called Stocks.Prices then you would use
activemq:topic:Stocks.Prices
Configuring the Connection Factory
The following test case
shows how to add an ActiveMQComponent to the CamelContext using the activeMQComponent() method
while specifying the brokerURL
used to connect to ActiveMQ
camelContext.addComponent("activemq", activeMQComponent("vm:));
Configuring the Connection Factory using Spring XML
You can configure the ActiveMQ broker URL on the ActiveMQComponent as follows
<beans xmlns="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xsi:schemaLocation="
http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans/spring-beans-2.0.xsd
http://activemq.apache.org/camel/schema/spring http://activemq.apache.org/camel/schema/spring/camel-spring.xsd">
<camelContext xmlns="http://activemq.apache.org/camel/schema/spring">
</camelContext>
<bean id="activemq" class="org.apache.activemq.camel.component.ActiveMQComponent">
<property name="brokerURL" value="tcp://somehost:61616"/>
</bean>
</beans>
Invoking MessageListener POJOs in a Camel route
The ActiveMQ component also providers a helper Type Converter from a JMS MessageListener to a Processor. This means that the Bean component is capable of invoking any JMS MessageListener bean directly inside any route.
So for example you can create a MessageListener in JMS like this....
public class MyListener implements MessageListener {
public void onMessage(Message jmsMessage) {
}
}
Then use it in your Camel route as follows
from("file:).
bean(MyListener.class);
i.e. you can reuse any of the Camel Components and easily integrate them into your JMS MessageListener POJO!
Getting Component JAR
The ActiveMQ Camel component is released with the ActiveMQ project itself.
For Maven 2 users you simply just need to add the following dependency to your project.
<dependency>
<groupId>org.apache.activemq</groupId>
<artifactId>activemq-core</artifactId>
<version>5.1.0</version>
</dependency>
Alternatively you can download the component jar directly from the Maven repository:
activemq-core-5.1.0.jar![]()
