I just got ActiveMQ running on Karaf (lastest svn). It was not very
easy, so I'm sharing what I did and I'm looking for suggestions.
After checking out and building karaf from scratch, I started with these
instructions:
http://activemq.apache.org/osgi-integration.html
Of course, they're old and don't help much. But it did point me to the
service document [1] that let me download most of the bundles by hand:
osgi:install mvn:org.apache.activemq/activemq-core/5.2.0
osgi:install mvn:org.apache.activemq/activemq-ra/5.2.0
...
I did this for all the bundles in the `activemq` and `connector`
features expect for `org.apache.servicemix.activemq.commands`.
It was the 'transactions' feature that got me stuck. I installed the
'felix-transaction' [2] plugin and most of the Spring Framework osgi
bundles [3] by hand. But the place I kept getting stuck was with starting
the felix-transaction bundle. I kept getting:
java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: javax.transaction.TransactionManager
The problem was the same as described in [4] and [5], namely, I had
these packages in my system that were overriding the geronimo jta bundle
I had:
System Bundle (0): javax.transaction; version=1.5.0
System Bundle (0): javax.transaction.xa; version=1.5.0
After hours of wrestling with this, I cracked open the felix framework
jar, deleted all references to `javax.transaction` and then put it back
together again.
Once this was done, I could take a simple activemq configuration file
and drop it in `deploy/localhost-broker.xml` and everything worked.
Surely there must be a better way...
I'm not sure if this info is useful on the felix list, or the activemq
list or the servicemix list or even the geronimo list, so feel free to
forward (me or the message) as necessary.
