JMS not starting in Spring Boot application

Question

I developed a spring boot application which send and listen message in Activemq using JMS, but while running application, JMS is not getting started by spring boot

This is mainclass, Application.java

@SpringBootApplication
@EnableJms
public class Main {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        SpringApplication.run(Main.class, args);
    }
}

Configuration class: Config.java

@Configuration
public class Config {

    @Bean
    public Queue queue() {
        return new ActiveMQQueue("inmemory.queue");
    }

    @Bean
    public JmsTemplate jmsTemplate() {
        return new JmsTemplate(activeMQConnectionFactory());
    }
}

Listener class is used to listen to the queue: Listener.java

@Component
public class Listener {

    @JmsListener(destination = "inmemory.queue")
    public void listener(String message) {
        System.out.println("message received" + message);
    }
}

Producer class is used to send message to queue from controller: Producer.java

@RestController
public class Producer {

    @Autowired
    Queue queue;

    @Autowired
    JmsTemplate jmstemplate;

    @RequestMapping(method = RequestMethod.GET, path = "/test3/{message}")
    public String test3(@PathVariable String message) {
        jmstemplate.convertAndSend(queue, message);
        return "teste3" + message;
    }
}

application.properties

spring.activemq.in-memory=true
spring.activemq.pool.enabled=false
server.port=8081

pom.xml

         <artifactId>spring-jms</artifactId>
         <version>5.1.4.RELEASE</version>
      </dependency>
   </dependencies>
</project>

This is a screenshot of application starting without starting JMS

Answer 1

Please use below code for jmsTemplate(...) method.

@Bean
public JmsTemplate jmsTemplate() {
    return new JmsTemplate(new ActiveMQConnectionFactory("vm://localhost"));
}

I have tested and it is working, let me know if you need sample code.

Also, no need to install ActiveMQ in local when you are using a starter .
