The $ACTIVEMQ_HOME/bin/activemq script starts a 'standalone' ActiveMQ message broker that, by default, uses the $ACTIVEMQ_HOME/conf/activemq.xml configuration file. The standalone broker will automatically reference the jar files in $ACTIVEMQ_HOME/lib.
You also have the option of starting an 'embedded' broker. http://activemq.apache.org/how-do-i-embed-a-broker-inside-a-connection.html In your case, I would recommend not directly referencing ActiveMQ objectives and instead rely on the vm:// transport in combination with JNDI and JMS - it will result in much more portable code. http://activemq.apache.org/vm-transport-reference.html Joe www.ttmsolutions.com lanchez wrote: > > When I run bin/activemq what exactly is going on? > > I supposed activemq would be a war that I would drop on tomcat and a bunch > of jars that I would incorporate into my IDE and then I could start > writing code. > > I am reading http://activemq.apache.org/getting-started.html and from what > I can see, I have to run another process or server on my computer. > > Is it possible to run this under tomcat so that I do not have another > server/process running on my machine?
