Dear ActiveMQ users, I just upgraded our ActiveMQ deployment from release 5.11.1 to 5.13.4 (I'm on Ubuntu 14.04.5), which went pretty smooth. On this server ActiveMQ has been updated many times so I was not surprised to get this in the logs during startup:
WARN | Existing Store uses a different OpenWire version[6] than the version configured[11] reverting to the version used by this store, some newer broker features may not work as expected. So I started a google search and found this: https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-US/Red_Hat_JBoss_A-MQ/6.0/html-single/Migration_Guide/index.html#Summary-Procedure Step 3 notes that to automatically upgrade to the latest version it might be required to remove the db.data and db.redo files first before starting ActiveMQ again. So that is what I did, but now ActiveMQ fails to startup properly: WARN | Exception thrown from LifecycleProcessor on context close | org.apache.activemq.xbean.XBeanBrokerFactory$1 | main java.lang.IllegalStateException: LifecycleProcessor not initialized - call 'refresh' before invoking lifecycle methods via the context: org.apache.activemq.xbean.XBeanBrokerFactory$1@34e51ca2: startup

init method failed; nested exception is java.io.EOFException | org.apache.activemq.xbean.XBeanBrokerFactory$1 | main So I went back to my kahadb backup files (including the db.data and db.redo files) and everything works again (but the warning message about the openwire version is still not solved). The strange part here is that the exception shows an EOF exception on activemq.xml. But I only changed the kahadb files, not the activemq.xml. Any hints, tips or advise? Thanks in advance!
