ActiveMQ REST API URI?

Question

I'm having trouble getting an example running using the REST API with ActiveMQ 5.4.0. I've seen several different GET URIs.

The documentation refers to this URI: http://localhost:8161/demo/message/<queue name>?type=queue

Other sources refer to these URIs:

1. http://localhost:8161/queue/<queue name>
2. http://localhost:8161/demo/message/<queue name>

Which URI is correct? Is there some configuration that I've missed?

Thank you!

Answer 1

If you make use of the ActiveMQ MessageServlet, then the format for the REST URI is:

http://localhost:8080/message/test?readTimeout=1000&type=queue

There is a demo of this URI format shown in the RestTest.

If you are using ActiveMQ 5.8 or higher you should use this URL instead:

http://localhost:8080/api/message/test?readTimeout=1000&type=queue
