activemq {[xbean:file:confURI
[?validate=
{[true] | [false]}
]
] | [broker:brokerURI] | [properties:propURI]}
Tip
For a full description of the parameters see ????.
For example, to start a broker using the default broker configuration, enter:
c:\fmq>activemq xbean:file:conf/activemq.xml
You can optionally disable schema validation of the configuration file using the
validate flag, as follows:
c:\fmq>activemq xbean:file:conf/activemq.xml?validate=false
On Windows the activemq command does not provide a mechanism for launching a broker instance as a background process. To start a broker in the background you can either:
install the broker instance as a Windows service. See ????.
Use the Windows start command to spawn the broker in a new command window.
