I wrote a tiny bit of code intending to experiment with starting up an ActiveMQ instance inside a web application (with the intention of eventually using an "in the VM" configuration). I'm using ActiveMQ version 5.3.0, and Java 1.6.0_17.
To start with, I simply tried to start an instance programmatically: =================== String uri = "xbean:file:/java/apache-activemq-5.3.0/conf/activemq.xml"; try { BrokerService service = BrokerFactory.createBroker(uri); service.start(); Thread.sleep(5*1000L); service.stop(); service.waitUntilStopped(); } catch(Exception e) { e.printStackTrace(); } =================== The path string above is pointing to the "activemq.xml" that came with the distribution - I haven't altered that file in any way. (I understand that it has references in it to ${activemq.base} that won't resolve correctly, under this method, but that isn't the problem I'm facing. What happens is that the "createBroker" line above throws an exception: =================== org.springframework.beans.factory.xml.XmlBeanDefinitionStoreException: Line 70 in XML document from URL [file:/java/apache-activemq-5.3.0/conf/activemq.xml] is invalid; nested exception is org.xml.sax.SAXParseException: cvc-complex-type.2.4.a: Invalid content was found starting with element 'destinationPolicy'.

What is confusing me is why this file, which came with the distribution, and which obviously works if I invoke ActiveMQ from the command line, should be exhibiting this behavior when I try to use it to create a Broker manually. Am I attempting to load the XML file in an incorrect manner? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
