Where can I manually configure ActiveMQ hostname? [closed]

Question

I'm trying to set up Apache ActiveMQ for the first time

I discovered that the name of my server has an underscore in it, and that is preventing ActiveMQ from starting. It throws this exception :

java.net.URISyntaxException: Illegal character in hostname at index 8: ws://cms_delta.mycompany.com:61614? maximumConnections=1000&wireFormat.maxFrameSize=104857600) ...

Where can I set the hostname in configuration. This server has other alias names without underscores, or I could use the IP address. The servername cms_delta.mycompany.com is being fetched automatically.

I don't see anything obvious in activemq.xml other than brokerName, but that didn't fix the problem.

Here is the full log :

Answer 1

I have just encountered the same problem when running ActiveMQ on my PC.

To change the name which is used by ActiveMQ you should go into /conf/activemq.xml file and replace 0.0.0.0 in transportConnectors/transportConnector uri attribute with your IP address i.e. 127.0.0.1. It should look like:

<transportConnectors>
    <transportConnector name="openwire" uri="tcp://127.0.0.1:61616?maximumConnections=1000&amp;wireFormat.maxFrameSize=104857600"/>
    ...
</transportConnectors>

Now you should go to hosts file and add some domain mapping to your local machine. In my case (Windows 7) this file is located under C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\. The line I added was

127.0.0.1                   mydomain.com

Then, when running ActiveMQ you should see lines:

INFO | Listening for connections at: tcp://mydomain.com:61616?maximumConnections=1000

ActiveMQ will start.
