Michael, I am also not familiar with "activemq-broker-initializer", and do not see any documentation for it online.
I suspect that this is a custom Spring factory bean that those who came before you created. Because Spring is limited to creating objects and setting properties, such a thing is necessary so that the start() method is called on the bean. See https://www.baeldung.com/spring-factorybean for making a custom factory bean for your broker. If you don't have a "broker.xml" as a top-level java resource, you'll have to set its "configResourcePath" property in the bean definition. See also @PostConstruct annotation https://www.baeldung.com/spring-postconstruct-predestroy which can help beans initialize themselves in Spring after the bean-creating and property-setting phases of Spring initialization are complete. You'll probably also need a "static connection" bean from which your Session beans are derived. But I'm not sure how to get to queues-as-beans. Depending on your use pattern, each Queue may need to go with a paired Session to avoid concurrency errors. Sessions are created from the Connection bean. http://www.masterspringboot.com/messaging/artemismq/jms-messaging-with-spring-boot-and-artemis-mq/ talks about using Spring-boot with Artemis, but doesn't discuss using Artemis with an app using a plain Spring context without Spring boot. Personally, we didn't Springify the AMQ resources, these are all lazy-initialized getters and pools. john [rg] <https://www.redpointglobal.com/> John Lilley Data Management Chief Architect, Redpoint Global Inc. 888 Worcester Street, Suite 200 Wellesley, MA 02482 M: +1 7209385761<tel:+1%207209385761> | john.lil...@redpointglobal.com<mailto:john.lil...@redpointglobal.com> PLEASE NOTE: This e-mail from Redpoint Global Inc.
