How can I start rabbitMQ broker during application startup?

[itsmanishagarwal]

Hi All,

I am new to Spring AMQP, I am planning to replace ActiveMQ with AMQP. I was starting ActiveMQ using the following code:

      
public void run() {
        xBeanBrokerService = applicationContext.getBean(org.apache.activemq.xbean.XBeanBrokerService.class);
        try {
          xBeanBrokerService.start();
        } catch (Exception e) {
          logger.error("Error while init ... ", e);
        }
      }

Is there any way to start rabbitMQ broker during application startup?

Thanks,
Manish

RabbitMQ does not have an 'embedded' mode like ActiveMQ - it is not written in Java, it is written in Erlang - it runs in a separate process.

Thanks Gary for quick response.
So if I want to use AMQP, I have to start rabbitMQ broker separately. Or is there any way to tie the start and stop of broker with the application.

Thanks,

You could use

Runtime.getRuntime().exec(...)

to start (rabbitmq-server) and stop (rabbitmqctl stop) the broker, but that would be very unusual.

Most people just leave the broker running all the time.
