first, get a connection to a JMX server (assumes localhost, port 9010, no auth) First you need to start activemq with jmx service. Add below jvm parameters to java opts- -Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.ssl=false -Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.authenticate=false -Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.port=9010 -Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.rmi.port=9011 -Djava.rmi.server.hostname=localhost -Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.local.only=false JMXServiceURL url = new JMXServiceURL("service:jmx:rmi:///jndi/rmi://localhost:9010/jmxrmi"); JMXConnector jmxc = JMXConnectorFactory.connect(url); MBeanServerConnection conn = jmxc.getMBeanServerConnection(); ObjectName activeMQ = new ObjectName("org.apache.activemq:type=Broker,brokerName=localhost"); BrokerViewMBean mbean = (BrokerViewMBean) MBeanServerInvocationHandler.newProxyInstance(conn, activeMQ, BrokerViewMBean.class, true); for (ObjectName name : mbean.getQueues()) {
