Starting WebConsole .war in embedded Jetty.. JNDI config? Hi there,
I'm getting started using ActiveMQ, have searched this list and googled but I'm going in circles. My environment is a Jetty embedded server, running my main web app which starts ActiveMQ via jndi.properties. Now I am trying to run the web console, which I'm doing by including the activemq-web-console-5.5.0.war as a WebAppContext. So, I have a single VM running Jetty and the two web apps, mine and the webconsole war. Java VM -> Jetty embedded -> WebAppContext (myapp.war) -> WebAppContext (activemq-web-console-5.5.0.war) The main web app, with the embedded ActiveMQ, works fine. I have followed http://activemq.apache.org/jndi-support.html which went smoothly, the jndi file says: =============== java.naming.factory.initial = org.apache.activemq.jndi.ActiveMQInitialContextFactory java.naming.provider.url = vm://myapp connectionFactoryNames = connectionFactory queue.testqueue = myapp.testqueue ================= This jndi.properties is in the root of my main app .war, so it's not visible to the webconsole.war webapp. So all my Java code is pure JMS with no ActiveMQ specifics. Nice. The main web app can start the queue, publish messages and consumers consume them. Now, adding the webconsole.war to Jetty, I am having trouble because I'm a JNDI newbie. I have read http://activemq.apache.org/web-console.html but am not sure which bits of instructions to follow. The "Starting the Web Console in a seperate VM/in a Web-Container" seems good, except it's not in a separate VM, it's in the same VM. I've tried setting the following VM arguments: -Dwebconsole.type=jndi -Dwebconsole.jms.url=vm://myapp However the webconsole war fails init: [java] WARNING: Failed startup of context o.e.j.w.WebAppContext{/webconsole,file:/tmp/jetty-0.0.0.0-8080-activemq-web-console-5.5.0.war-_webconsole-any-/webapp/},/downloads/activemq-web-console-5.5.0.war [java] org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error creating bean with name 'sessionPool' defined in ServletContext resource [/WEB-INF/webconsole-jndi.xml]: Cannot resolve reference to bean 'connectionFactory' while setting bean property 'connectionFactory'; nested exception is org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error creating bean with name 'connectionFactory' defined in ServletContext resource [/WEB-INF/webconsole-jndi.xml]: Instantiation of bean failed; nested exception is org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanDefinitionStoreException: Factory method [public javax.jms.ConnectionFactory org.apache.activemq.web.config.JNDIConfiguration.getConnectionFactory()] threw exception; nested exception is java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Neither a ConnectionFactory nor a JMS-url were specified [java] at org.springframework.beans.factory.support.BeanDefinitionValueResolver.resolveReference(BeanDefinitionValueResolver.java:328) That exception, "IllegalArgumentException: Neither a ConnectionFactory nor a JMS-url were specified", is confusing, because I'm expecting the webconsole.type=jndi to cause it to look everything up via JNDI. I've a feeling the exception message is misleading. I found a reference to the exception in source code: http://activemq.2283324.n4.nabble.com/svn-commit-r751656-in-activemq-trunk-activemq-web-console-src-main-resources-activemq-web-console-sr-td2395670.html It seems to be thrown inside makeConnectionFactory(jmsUrl, jmsUser, jmsPassword) but I've a strong feeling I've simply mis-configured the system properties that webconsole uses. I would guess that trying to use a tcp:// url instead of vm:// would not help, as the exception says a required configuration property is missing, not that a connection couldn't be made. Just running the webconsole.war in the same Jetty setup, with no -D system properties set, starts fine, and I can view the web gui and see no queues naturally because it's running its own broker. I'm stuck with connecting it to the vm:// broker running in my main app via the correct system properties. Any clues? :) Nick -- View this message in context: http://activemq.2283324.n4.nabble.com/Starting-WebConsole-war-in-embedded-Jetty-and-vm-broker-JNDI-config-tp3548843p3548843.html Sent from the ActiveMQ - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
