In this article i will try to explain how you can use ActiveMQ to write test cases for your JMS code. This is very handy when your code has a part that listens to a JMS queue. Apache ActiveMQ  Apache ActiveMQ is a extremely popular and very powerful open source messaging and Integration Patterns server. You can check it out here . The part we will be using to run our test classes is the embedded broker that is provided by ActiveMQ.

This was done as a part of my final year project so i thought i should share this because it might be helpful to others. I assume that you know about ZooKeeper otherwise you want be reading this article right. anyway if you want to learn about ZooKeeper you can check out the ZooKeeper home page  here . Exhibitor So i will first introduce you to Exhibitor its actually a supervisory system that is built using java technology to monitor and supervise ZooKeeper. It provides some cool features that will help you manage your ZooKeeper instances. You can download Exhibitor here . And if you want to learn more about Exhibitor take a look at there wiki page here . Exhibitor allows you to configure ZooKeeper instances through a very clean web interface. the config panel will look like this. As you can see you can def...
