The method queueConnection.close() shuts down the broker.

Question

Hi All,
I want to send and recieve messages in the same application. I'm using embedded broker, here's the brokerConfig.xml
<beans>
    <broker>
        <connector>
            <serverTransport uri="vm://localhost" />
        </connector>
        <persistence>
            <vmPersistence/>
        </persistence>
    </broker>
</beans>I send and receive messages in the separate classes and each one creates its own connection. In the sender class when I call the method queueConnection.close() it shuts down the broker.
How can I keep the broker to recieve messages in the receiver class by it's own connection?
Thanks in advance.

Hi James,
I'm guessing you're using ActiveMQ?Yes, ActiveMQ v. 3.2.1.

10x for link, I'll try it for the next time
Which version are you using?
Unless its a really old version I'm a little in the
dark. The code to close the embedded broker only
fires when there are no more connections open; so
provided each class has its own connection you should
be fine.
Note could this be a timing issue? Are you closing
the connection of the sender before the receiver
creates its connection?You're right. I think the problem is just there. I didn't know that the broker will close when there are no more connections open.
Another option is just to explicitly create a broker
yourself in Java code; then you are in control of its
lifecycle.
There are examples here

onnection?refresh=110x a lot. I'll create the broker myself
