Hi Thorsten, Thanks for your help. Is it possible to use wildcards in ACTIVEMQ_CLASSPATH ? If not, this would be definitely an improvement. Meanwhile I got my scenario running by using the tanuki wrapper. I didn't recognize before, that the wrapper-specific activemq.bat is not the same as the "normal" activemq.bat and all the path-stuff is managed via wrapper.conf. For those who might need something similiar to my requirements, here are the important parts of my wrapper.conf:
# Java Classpath (include wrapper.jar) Add class path elements as # needed starting from 1 wrapper.java.classpath.1=%ACTIVEMQ_HOME%/bin/wrapper.jar wrapper.java.classpath.2=%ACTIVEMQ_HOME%/bin/run.jar wrapper.java.classpath.3=%MY_OWN_LIBRARY_LOCATION_1%/* wrapper.java.classpath.4=%MY_OWN_LIBRARY_LOCATION_2%/* wrapper.java.classpath.5=%MY_OWN_LIBRARY_LOCATION_3%/* wrapper.java.classpath.6=%ACTIVEMQ_HOME%/lib/* wrapper.java.classpath.7=%ACTIVEMQ_HOME%/lib/web/* wrapper.java.classpath.8=%ACTIVEMQ_HOME%/lib/optional/* note the numbering ;-) best, christoph 2012/1/30 Torsten Mielke <tors...@fusesource.com> > Hello Christoph, > > ACTIVEMQ_CLASSPATH is by default only set to include the conf/ directory. > E.g. if you start a default AMQ instance and connect to it using jconsole > and click on the VM Summary tab, then you can see this parameter being > passed into the JVM as follows > > -Dactivemq.classpath=/opt/FUSE/AMQ/apache-activemq-5.5.1-fuse-01-13/conf; > > Looking at Main.java of activemq-console, subproject, it seems to be > possible to add additional classpath entries to activemq.classpath, as this > code section suggests: > > // Add any custom classpath specified from the system property > // activemq.classpath > app.addClassPathList(System.getProperty("activemq.classpath")); > > > Assuming you have packaged your custom classes into a jar file, you need > to add the full jar file to the classpath, i.e. > %ACTIVEMQ_HOME%/customlibs/<file>.jar > > and not just the folder containing the jar file. > > > The easiest option for you is probably to place you custom classes in form > of a jar file into the AMQ_HOME/lib/optional folder.
