Hi users, I've written some classes (message-transformers for camel-routing) which should be used inside ActiveMQ. Actually at the moment I put them into the %ACTIVEMQ_HOME%\libs-folder and it works. In real-world deployment I want to separate the custom libraries from the ActiveMQ-own libraries while putting my own classes in another folder.
After reading some documentation, it should work with the activemq.home-system-property. But my own classes are not found if I change the %ACTIVEMQ_CLASSPATH%-variable in activemq.bat from set ACTIVEMQ_CLASSPATH=%ACTIVEMQ_BASE%/conf;%ACTIVEMQ_HOME%/conf;%ACTIVEMQ_CLASSPATH% to set ACTIVEMQ_CLASSPATH=%ACTIVEMQ_BASE%/conf;%ACTIVEMQ_HOME%/conf;%ACTIVEMQ_HOME%/customlibs;%ACTIVEMQ_CLASSPATH% As a workaround I use java.ext.dirs-property this way: set ACTIVEMQ_CUSTOM_LIBRARIES = %ACTIVEMQ_HOME%/customlibs and then add a property to the calling java-command in activemq.bat: -Djava.ext.dirs="%ACTIVEMQ_CUSTOM_LIBRARIES%" And now while starting up the broker, my custom libraries are picked up from the customlibs-folder. This works, no questions, but it would be nicer if somebody could explain me, how to use the way with the activemq.classpath-property. best, christoph OS: Win2k8 R2 AMQ: 5.5.1 JVM: 1.6.0_26
