Configuring FUSE Message Broker

XML configuration

FUSE Message Broker is configured using XBean XML. XBean is an extension of the Spring Framework that has allowed the developers of Apache ActiveMQ to develop a syntax that is less verbose and yet more expressive than basic Spring configuration.

Configuration is stored in the activemq.xml file in the InstallDir/conf directory.

Connectors

The activemq.xml file allows you to configure transport and network connectors for FUSE Message Broker, as shown below:

Example 2.3. Defining Transport and Network Connectors

<transportConnectors>
  <transportConnector name="openwire" uri="tcp://localhost:61616" discoveryUri="multicast://default"/>
  <transportConnector name="ssl" uri="ssl://localhost:61617"/>
  <transportConnector name="stomp" uri="stomp://localhost:61613"/>
  <transportConnector name="xmpp" uri="xmpp://localhost:61222"/>
</transportConnectors>

<networkConnectors>
  <!-- by default auto discover other brokers 
  <networkConnector name="default-nc" uri="multicast://default"/>-->
  <!--
      <networkConnector name="host1 and host2" uri="static://(tcp://host1:61616,tcp://host2:61616)"/>
      -->
</networkConnectors>

Transport connectors are used for communication between clients and brokers.

A broker uses a network connector to communicate with another broker.
