Question

Since i didn’t get a working answer on the mailinglist i try it here.

The Documentation says its possible to configure your own plugins like that:

<plugins>
<bean id="myPlugin" class="org.myorg.MyPlugin"/>
</plugins>

I tried this with on ActiveMQ 5.5 the following way:

<plugins>
<jaasAuthenticationPlugin configuration="activemq-domain" />
<bean id="authplug" class="org.apache.activemq.security.AuthorizationPlugin"><property name="map"><bean name="authMap" class="my.authMap" /></property></bean>
</plugins>

This config raised two problems:
1. Validation fails. The xml validation fails for this configuration because the “bean”-Tag is not expected, even if the documentation sais otherwise.
2. When validation is deactivated for my config spring throws the following exception:

org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanDefinitionStoreException: Unrecognized xbean element mapping: bean in namespace http://activemq.apache.org/schema/core

How can i configure custom plugins for ActiveMQ?

Answer 1

The Problem was the missing namespace. The examples in the documentation show the plugins tag like i described. In reality the bean tag must include the spring namespace to be recognized.
