Qpid Design - ConfigurationPage edited by Aidan SkinnerConfiguration MethodsQPID supports two methods of configuration:
It is intended that the configuration file will be used for nearly all configuration but that some very common or useful options are exposed using command line switches. CLIQPID uses Commons CLI to parse command line arguments. It provides the following features:
The result of parsing options, however they are specified, is a CommandLine object which can then be queried to find out specific values. Currently this is done in org.openamq.broker.Main and the CommandLine object is not exposed elsewhere but if it does require to be more widely used it could be added to the ApplicationRegistry. However it is strongly recommended that the configuration approach in the follow section is used where possible. Configuration FileQPID uses Commons Configuration to handle all configuration. It provides methods that allow parsing of options from a range of sources, including configuration files, system properties or simply hard coded classes of values (which is very useful in unit test cases). Broker configuration is accessed through the class in the org.apache.qpid.server.configuration, primarily starting at ServerConfiguration and retrieving values or other Configuration classes from there. Command Line OptionsThe following options are available:
LoggingLogging is handled slightly differently. The main reason for this is that logging is something we want configured before the main configuration file is processed. The broker uses log4j as the logging implementation, and configuration must be done using the more expressive XML format. A couple of command line switches are used to configure logging:
By using the logwatch option it is possible to make changes to the logging configuration at runtime without restarting the broker. (For example, enabling more logging on certain packages in order to diagnose a problem).
