Apache ActiveMQ - Producer Apppcation

Now let s create a producer apppcation which will send message to the ActiveMQ Queue.

Create Project

Using ecppse, select File → New → Maven Project. Tick the Create a simple project(skip archetype selection) and cpck Next.

Enter the details, as shown below −

groupId − com.tutorialspoint

artifactId − producer

version − 0.0.1-SNAPSHOT

name − ActiveMQ Producer

Cpck on Finish button and a new project will be created.

pom.xml

Now update the content of pom.xml to include dependencies for ActiveMQ.

            </executions>
         </plugin>
      </plugins>
   </build>  
</project>

Now create a Producer class which will send message to the ActiveMQ Queue.

package com.tutorialspoint.activemq;

import java.io.Console;
import java.util.Scanner;

import javax.jms.Connection;
import javax.jms.Destination;
import javax.jms.MessageProducer;
import javax.jms.Session;
import javax.jms.TextMessage;

import org.apache.qpid.jms.JmsConnectionFactory;

pubpc class Producer {
   pubpc static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {

      // Create a connection to ActiveMQ JMS broker using AMQP protocol
      JmsConnectionFactory factory = new JmsConnectionFactory("amqp://localhost:5672");
      Connection connection = factory.createConnection("admin", "password");
      connection.start();

      // Create a session
      Session session = connection.createSession(false, Session.AUTO_ACKNOWLEDGE);

      // Create a queue
      Destination destination = session.createQueue("MyFirstQueue");

      // Create a producer specific to queue
      MessageProducer producer = session.createProducer(destination);

      Scanner input = new Scanner(System.in);
      String response;
      do {
         System.out.println("Enter message: ");
         response = input.nextLine();
         // Create a message object
         TextMessage msg = session.createTextMessage(response);

         // Send the message to the queue
         producer.send(msg);

      } while (!response.equalsIgnoreCase("Quit"));
      input.close();

      // Close the connection
      connection.close();
   }
}

Producer class creates a connection, starts the session, creates a producer and then asks user to enter message. If user enters quit then apppcation terminates else it will send the message to the queue.

We ll run this apppcation in ActiveMQ - Test Apppcation chapter.
