MuleSoft JMS Tutorial: ActiveMQ Integration Using Queues and Topics

ActiveMQ is a widely used and well known open-source message broker which helps businesses by providing a feature-rich message oriented middleware for point to point as well as broadcast message communication based on JMS specifications.

I already explained basic concepts of ActiveMQ and ActiveMQ Introduction in another tutorial which you can refer to understand basics of ActiveMQ and how ActiveMQ works. In this MuleSoft JMS tutorial, you will learn how to use ActiveMQ in Mule 4 and how to integrate with ActiveMQ for sending and receiving messages using JMS Queues and Topics.

MuleSoft JMS Tutorial: How to Integrate with ActiveMQ

In order to connect with ActiveMQ message broker using AnyPoint studio in Mule 4, you need to add JMS Module in your project and then you can configure JMS connection.

For JMS Config global element, you will need to choose ActiveMQ Connection and then you will have to provide required libraries. If you downloaded and installed ActiveMQ in your machine, you will be able to find a bundled jar in your ActiveMQ installation folder which you can refer and all the required jars will get added by that way.

Specify broker URL (by default ActiveMQ broker runs on port 10616) and after specifying username, password and any other additional configurations of your choice, you will be able to test the connection and verify connectivity to ActiveMQ broker.

Once you have JMS connection for ActiveMQ configured, you can use it in your message flows. For publishing the messages to Topics for broadcasting (pub-sub) or to the queues for Point to Point communication, you can use Publish or Publish operation from JMS module. You can also use Publish Consume operation for synchronous messaging.

In order to consume or subscribe messages from the topics or queues, you can create a message flow with source as JMS Listener and configure listener to specify a queue or topic to receive messages.

Above video tutorial on TutorialsPedia YouTube Channel, covers Mule 4 Integration with ActiveMQ in detail with both queues and topic based messaging scenarios covered.
