How do I configure ActiveMQ Classic to use AIO server transport

 FAQ > Configuration > How do I configure ActiveMQ Classic to use AIO server transport

For Windows XP:

  1. Download AIO (Asynchronous IO for Java) from IBM (http://www.alphaworks.ibm.com/tech/aio4j).

  2. Unzip the downloaded file and copy the following files:

    • ibmaio.dll
    • ibmaio-1.0.jar

  3. Place ibmaio.dll into Windows System32 folder. (You may need to restart afterwards for this to take effect)

  4. Include ibmaio-1.0.jar in the classpath.

  5. Edit ActiveMQ Classic's configuration file (activemq.xml, found in the conf folder). Look the following snippet:

    <!-- ==================================================================== -->
    <!-- ActiveMQ Classic Broker Configuration -->
    <!-- ==================================================================== -->
    <broker>
     <connector>
      <tcpServerTransport uri="tcp://localhost:61616" backlog="1000" useAsyncSend="true" maxOutstandingMessages="50"/>
     </connector>
        .
        .
    </broker>

    Change the connector settings, change tcpServerTransport to serverTransport and remove the unneeded parameters):

    <connector>
     <serverTransport uri="activeio:aio://<ip address>:<port>" />
    </connector>

    Example:

    <connector>
     <serverTransport uri="activeio:aio://192.168.0.162:61616" />
    </connector>
