Working with Apache ActiveMQ

Apache ActiveMQ is a powerful messaging provider that supports many cross-language clients and protocols. In today’s environments, ActiveMQ provides a means for delivering messages reliably between diverse systems using a series of message brokers and queues.

This course provides a solid introduction to the theory and practice of applying ActiveMQ (AMQ) for brokered, reliable messaging. Detailed hands-on labs demonstrate installation, configuration, monitoring, and control of AMQ brokers. Examples of JMS functionality cover publish-subscribe and queue based messaging, persistence, and transactional messages. A variety of AMQ deployment options and topology options are also reviewed.

 

Working with Apache ActiveMQ

Duration:

 Two days (14 hours)

Target Audience:

 Business Solutions Architects and Java Application Programmers.

Prerequisites:

 Knowledge and modest proficiency with Java, experience with application development using Eclipse IDE, and basic understanding of distributed computing concepts.

Course Objectives:

 After completing this class, you will be able to:
  • Install ActiveMQ and verify that it was installed successfully.
  • Install a custom instance of ActiveMQ.
  • Issue broker-control commands to list brokers, query a broker, and browse a queue.
  • View and debug the state of message flows in a development environment.
  • Safely listen behind firewalls for messages that work like commands.
  • Configure a JMX agent console to monitor, test, and control an AMQ implementation.
  • Configure an ActiveMQ broker to use different logging levels.
  • Configure a TCP, HTTP, SSL, or VM connector to expose broker connectivity to clients.
  • Configure a Network connector to enable brokers to communicate with other brokers.
  • Configure an ActiveMQ broker to support Java clients, Spring clients, client logging, and client transactions/acknowledgments.
  • Configure a set of MQ brokers to handle a simple high availability, master/slave, failover, or load-balanced implementation scenario.
  • Implement Virtual Destinations, Conduit Subscriptions, Message Groups, and transport-level security.
  • Describe how messages are dispatched and controlled.
