Doh. Should probably have been a bit more specific:
I'm trying to do AJAX stuff (using Javascript), and in order to do
some testing, I need to be able to create a simple page that can be
found by an existing project. So far, not too hard.
The tricky bit is that it uses Geronimo, and I want the project to
be able to find the ActiveMQ implementation. amq.js is the
Javascript that allows a web browser to do AJAX stuff with a JMS
queue. This is probably the important part - I want to use the AJAX
functionality of ActiveMQ, and in order to do that, I need access to
the various javascript files that contain the implementation. Right
now, my project can't find them, and thus I'm kinda stuck.
The exact version of AMQ doesn't matter (right now, anyway),
however, the version of *Geronimo* does - I can't upgrade from 1.1.1
to 2.* because the project I'm working on has issues with it.
Have you complained about the issues, filed jiras etc? If not please
do :-)
As such, 3.4 seems like it would work just as well as 5.0.0,
provided 3.4 has AJAX support. If it doesn't, then what I'm trying
to do will never be successful, and I'm a little screwed.
I'll keep playing around with the dependencies and see if they'll
work for me.
I hope that makes things a bit clearer with regards to what I'm
trying to do.
Also, while I'm here, if I wanted to use ActiveMQ 5.0.0 (or any
version apart from what's provided), what would that involve for
Geronimo 1.1.1? Would it be a simple matter of adding it to the
repository (i.e. click and drag), or would it be more complex than
that?
You definitely won't be able to administer amq 5 from the geronimo
console like you can with the built in amq. If you run the g. admin
console you will probably have to be very careful with your
classloaders since IIUC the console only runs if the built in amq is
running. So you'll have to be careful to get AMQ 5 loaded in a
separate classloader. A very basic integration more or less similar
to the built in integration should be pretty easy by copying and
modifying the broker gbean to start the appropriate amq 5 class. You
should use the native xbean xml configuration rather than trying to
get all the geronimo gbeans to work.
Even easier.... IIRC AMQ 4 and 5 have a web app that starts up a
broker (that you can then use the ajax stuff on). IIRC this even has
the broker classes inside. So if you deploy this web app and make
sure the build in amq is not in the classpath that will probably work.
Hope this helps

I know that I had to edit my web.xml file when testing it first time
around, but upon doing the same thing, it gave an error that it
couldn't find org.apache.activemq.web.AjaxServlet. Is this likely to
be a case of me trying to use instructions that are too new?
IIRC Geronimo 1.1.1 includes an AMQ version somewhere around 3.x. I
don't know that anyone has succeeded in using AMQ 5 with G. 1.1.1.
I can't really upgrade as that would cause a large number of
problems with the application I'm adding to (I've come in recently
and it's quite large), and I don't have time to fix them all.
Even the latest geronimo is still on AMQ 4.1.2....
The other relevant things are that the project uses Struts (*.do
stuff, etc), and I'm not entirely sure how that works.
I also tried to add some dependencies to the geronimo-web.xml file,
but it decided it didn't like the <exclusion> tags. Removed those,
and it went a bit further: it now says it's "Unable to resolve
dependency incubator-activemq/activemq-web//"
that doesn't look much like the id for an existing activemq jar.....
are you sure it isn't something like org.apache.activemq/activemq-
web//? You will also need to get these jars into your geronimo
repository yourself unless you use a geronimo plugin -- and they
don't work well before geronimo 2.1.
Anyone able to give me some help here? Otherwise I've got a bad
feeling it'll take a long time to figure this all out by myself.
Do you need AMQ 5? What does the amq.js page do? Is it included in
the AMQ version geronimo includes?
More questions for you, but I don't understand exactly what you are
trying to do yet.
thanks
