Hello active Mq users , I hope this mail reaches you all in good spirits. This is in regard to the topic of starting active mq embedded broker automatically by the Tomcat server. Our application has two web apps which exchange messages through the embedded active mq broker. The embedded broker is started by one of the web apps in the form of a servlet context Listener. This scenario would cause problems if the order of initialization of web apps is changed. As per the previous emails with the subject "Sharing embedded broker across webapp contexts" , is it possible that Tomcat server starts the embedded broker before initializing any of the web app contexts ? If it is possible , could you please point me to relevant documentation. Thank you so much !! Suchitha.
