activemq artemis - How to get information about connectors via JMX or EmbeddedActiveMQ

Question

For acceptors, I can get data like embeddedActiveMQ.getActiveMQServer().getAcceptors() or with AcceptorControl

But for connectors I don't find any way to get data or create/delete connector, not in JMX or EmbeddedActiveMQ.

I added to a broker.xml a connector

<connectors>
  <connector name="connector1">tcp://192.168.58.6:61716</connector>
</connectors>

And I thought that I get info about this connector via

embeddedActiveMQ.getActiveMQServer().getConnectorsService().getConnectors()

But this returns size 0.

Answer 1

If you're using JMX for management then you can use the getConnectorConfigurations() method on the ActiveMQServerControl.

If you're using EmbeddedActiveMQ then you can use embeddedActiveMQ.getActiveMQServer().getConfiguration().getConnectorConfigurations().values(). That will give you a Collection<TransportConfiguration> of the connectors which you've configured.

The difference between acceptors and connectors in this context is that an acceptor is standalone resource which is deployed and managed independently of anything else. A connector, on the other hand, is essentially just a configuration container which is referenced and used by other components (e.g. a bridge). A connector is not deployed in and of itself.
