[jboss-user] [JBoss Messaging] - JBoss JMS standalone GUI tool for beginners showing queues and messages

Fred Weers [http://community.jboss.org/people/frederikw] created the discussion "JBoss JMS standalone GUI tool for beginners showing queues and messages" To view the discussion, visit: http://community.jboss.org/message/557102#557102 -------------------------------------------------------------- When we (InterCommit.nl) started using JBoss Messaging, we needed a simple standalone tool providing an overview (via a GUI) of the queues and the number of messages on/through those queues. This information is available in JBoss, but getting this information and displaying it in an overview was not straightforward. A similar thing applies for viewing messages on a queue and creating messages for a queue. The attached zip-file contains the tool "ICIT JMS Monitor" which does all this and the included source code (LGPL) can provide beginners insight in how to get basic JMS tasks done. A readme is included in the zip-file. Installing and running is as simple as unzipping and starting icitjmsmon.bat/sh. No need to configure anything, all required libraries are included. Provide the JBoss AS hostname and click Connect - that's it. This was also the reason we started developing this "run-click-go" tool, other tools (like HermesJMS) proved to be too cumbersome. The ICIT JMS Monitor shows: - the JMS queues in JBoss AS - per queue:   - the number of messages processed   - amount processed in the last few seconds   - amount processed over a period of 1 minute   - peak values for messages processed With the ICIT JMS Monitor you can: - deploy a queue - browse messages on a queue - view a message on a queue - delete a message from a queue - create a text or Object message and send it to a queue - create and send messages in bulk (amount of messages and delay between sending can be specified) The tool also shows which libraries are required on the client/tool-side to connect to JBoss AS and it shows how basic security (username/password) can be implemented. Both can take a long time to figure out if you are a beginning JBoss JMS programmer. Happy messaging. -------------------------------------------------------------- Reply to this message by going to Community [http://community.jboss.org/message/557102#557102] Start a new discussion in JBoss Messaging at Community [http://community.jboss.org/choose-container!input.jspa?contentType=1&...]
