ActiveMQ Web Console only listens on localhost

Question

I've got ActiveMQ installed as I want it. However, the Web Console only listens on localhost - how do I make it listen on all interfaces? I'm sure it's a "host"="0.0.0.0" somewhere but where?

Answer 1

For the latest versions of ActiveMQ (eg 5.5), you can configure within the <activemq>/conf/jetty.xml file by adding a host property setting to the SelectChannelConnector bean.

<bean id="Connector" class="org.eclipse.jetty.server.nio.SelectChannelConnector">
    **<property name="host" value="0.0.0.0"/>**
    <property name="port" value="8161" />
</bean>

Looking at the SelectChannelConnector code, if the host property is not set (ie null ) then it will use the default for InetSocketAddress , which is supposed to be the "wildcard address" per the JavaDoc , so I'm surprised its not automatically binding to all addresses on your server by default.

Hope that helps,
