ActiveMQ Artemis support?

Related to an existing integration?

Yes

Existing integration

ActiveMQ

Overview

It would be really nice to use the much newer Artimis version of ActiveMQ. I've been able to hack it to sort of work with the current implementation, but having proper support would be amazing.

Usage example

Anywhere that ActiveMQ can be used.

Breaking change?

No

Alternatives

Manual configuration

Additional context

No, just wanted to propose this

@anoordover any thoughts on this?

Just to structure my thinking I will inventorize everything I needed to change to get the ActiveMQ hosting working with Artemis:

1. I needed to use another Image and ImageTag (apache/activemq-artemis and 2.39.0)
2. I needed to change the environment variables from ACTIVEMQ_CONNECTION_USER to ARTEMIS_USER and ACTIVEMQ_CONNECTION_PASSWORD to ARTEMIS_PASSWORD;
3. I needed to change the URL for the Jolokia endpoint being called for the health-check to /console/jolokia/read/org.apache.activemq.artemis:broker=%220.0.0.0%22/Started
4. After trying something I also see that I need to change the volumes being used for Artemis: Data is on /var/lib/artemis-instance and config is on /var/lib/artemis-instance/etc-override

Because this hosting package was my first implementation it is hard for me to design a simple solution to support both ActiveMQ classic and ActiveMQ Artemis from the same hosting package.

With my current knowledge I would change this:

• Add a optional bool parameter in AddActiveMQ useArtemis to let the user choose between Classic or Artimis;
• Add a new internal static class with the Registry, Image and ImageTag for artemis;
• Introduce two private const for the two jolokia paths and change the private method WithJolokiaHealthCheck and add a path parameter to this method;
• I don't know how to change the location for the volumes yet. Can I store the choice for Classic or Artemis in ActiveMQServerResource?
• Shall I group the settings that differ in a record implementing an interface for getting the values with two static instances. One for artemis and one for classic?

@JohnGalt1717 do you have any special requirements?

I took a go at my own implementation. I have a different health check URL, but I think it's pretty close?

I'll take you word on it (I've never used ActiveMQ) 🤣

@aaronpowell Should I create a second set of example projects using Artemis? If so, what should I name it and where should I place this second set?
