Admin Web Console not showing messages in queue.

[JeanNiBee]

Hi

Using Spring and ActiveMQ in a test environment.

I have all my setup working, far as I can tell, as my Sender sends out
messages and my MessageListener picks them up.

As a test I'm sending 100,000 message through the queue and having my
MessageListener sleep for 5 seconds in between each (to ensure build up in
the queue itself).

When I go to the admin web console and look at the status of my queue it
always says '0' doe all four columns of Messages Pending, Consumers,
Received and Sent.

I keep refreshing to no avail but my listener (that is logging the message
text to a file / console) keeps popping a new message to my logs every 5
seconds.

Not sure how to proceed to debug this. VERY new to using the tool and I
admit I got a bit lost running through all the documentation I could find.

For kicks.. my spring configs. (Thanks Cyrill LeClerc if you ever read
this.. your forum post got me more than just jump started on this)

Hi,

I can't see fro you example how you initialize your web console. Are you
sure it points to the right broker?

I guess this will be a case of "RTFM" for me. ;)

I just was looking at the Web Console that is provided from the default
'getting started' so I didn't really configure anything other than click the
link in the doc.

Pointer to any info to help me understand this would be great. (As is the
ActiveMQ in action book in your sig) :)

Thanks

Hi,

the web console is not automatically integrated in your application when
you embed the broker. You need to embed Jetty (or some other servlet
container) as well and deploy web console app

Take a look at the default conf/activemq.xml and webapps/admin folder to
find out how things are done in activemq distribution.

You can find more details on topic in the following article:
http://www.nighttale.net/onjava/integrating-activemq-web-console.html,
but I guess it should be updated a bit. I'll see to do it soon.

I guess what you were seeing is the web console of some other ActiveMQ
instance you are running on your machine.



Hope this helps

Hi

I guess I am really misunderstanding the use of the technology then.

If I have a queue called "jbtesting" on a ActiveMQ instance (the only 1 I
have setup anywhere) and my webapp is connecting to localhost and posting
messages into jbtesting, as illustrated by my Spring config files sent in
original post. I assumed that the web console that is running by default
installation to be able to see the info in this queue.

I'll check out those links right away thanks.

Okay so what I'm gleaming from my reading is that I have a VM configured
broker so it runs inside my Java process (In Spring / Tomcat). This is
actually preferable to installing a service/binary and connecting to that as
I originally thought I was doing. (As it's more portable)

The 'out of the box' admin console isn't configured to tie into this so I
have to add the pieces necessary to my app to be able to query / list /
interact with the broker in my VM.

Next stop, custom Web Console... and persistence. :)

Wish me luck.

(This stuff is all so new but so interesting, the performance boost I'm
getting out of my app is insane)

Bare bones no persistence no tuning I can force 1800 message into my queue a
second.... I love it.
