Confirm usage of embedded ActiveMQ?

[Marc Boorshtein]

All,

I'm looking to embed ActiveMQ 5.8 in my Java based server and I wanted to
confirm my thinking to make sure I was taking the right approach.

My desire is to have a VM accessible queue (not accessible via a network)
that is using a relational database (SQL Server 2012 in this instance).
 The server can have multiple instances, all pointed to the same DB for
persistence.  Each server will host a broker and will have a message
listener, all sharing the same queue.  When I push a message into the queue
on one server, I want it accessible by either server (whichever picks it up
first).

My plan is to initialize the broker in each server with a
JDBCPersistanceAdapter using the following code:

org.apache.commons.dbcp.BasicDataSource ds = new
org.apache.commons.dbcp.BasicDataSource();
ds.setDriverClassName("com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerDriver");
ds.setUrl("jdbc:sqlserver://dbhost:1433;databaseName=activemq");
ds.setUsername("user");
ds.setPassword("password");
ds.setMaxActive(10);
JDBCPersistenceAdapter jdbcpa = new JDBCPersistenceAdapter();
jdbcpa.setDirectory(new File("activemq"));
jdbcpa.setDataSource(ds);
 final BrokerService broker = new BrokerService();
broker.setBrokerName("testing");
broker.setPersistenceAdapter(jdbcpa);
new Thread() {
  @Override
  public void run() {
  try {
  broker.start();
  } catch (Exception e) {
      // TODO Auto-generated catch block
  e.printStackTrace();
  }
   }
}.start();

So I would have multiple embedded servers connecting to the same db and the
same queue.

Am I on the right track or totally off?

Thanks
Marc
