Hi, you should use properties only if you wish to connect to the standalone broker.
To start your own broker inside the tomcat, you should remove JAVA_OPTS from your startup file. Copy this file to your WEB-INF/webconsole-embedded.xml http://svn.apache.org/viewvc/activemq/trunk/activemq-web-console/src/main/webapp/WEB-INF/webconsole-embedded.xml?view=co&content-type=text%2Fplain and place your activemq.xml inside your WEB-INF folder.
