Hi James,
Thank you very much for your help.
Although I'm going to keep this email somewhere for future use, there is
actually a much easier way of doing this. The activemq.xml already accepts
to use system environments variable as if inside the file.
I just needed to use: brokerName="${COMPUTERNAME}" to archive the desired
goal. (%COMPUTERNAME% is the system environment variable in windows that
contains the hostname. My problem was that i was using hostname, which also
returns the hostname in dos, but is not a system environment variable).
Thank you very much for your help, I learned how to use other variables than
the system's ones into my config file.
Have a nice day ahead,
Sebastian
