ActiveMQ store path

I am using a java web application on Tomcat 9.0 server with ActiveMQ 5. Below is the broker config at context.xml, it works.

<Resource   name="jms/ConnectionFactory"
            auth="Container"
            type="org.apache.activemq.ActiveMQConnectionFactory"
            description="JMS Connection Factory"
            factory="org.apache.activemq.jndi.JNDIReferenceFactory"
            brokerURL="vm://localhost"
            brokerName="LocalActiveMQBroker"
            useEmbeddedBroker="true"/>

    <Resource name="jms/queue/MyQueue"
              auth="Container"
              type="org.apache.activemq.command.ActiveMQQueue"
              factory="org.apache.activemq.jndi.JNDIReferenceFactory"
              physicalName="MTFQ"/>

It always creates the persistence store directory activemq-data inside tomcat bin folder, adding what parameter I can redirect the store content to my own directory which is outside of tomcat folder. Please help.

Add this to the startup arguments:

-Dactivemq.store.dir=<path to your folder>

Open in new window

Thanks for your response, I have tried it having like below setting in setenv.bat, but no luck. It still creates in bin folder.

set JAVA_OPTS="... -Dactivemq.store.dir=C:\Temp"

Do you change it in the right place? Look at Tomcat's log, at the startup options, and verify it's there.

Yes, i could see it in the startup log, it has been taken as a command line argument.

Can you try this?

-Dorg.apache.activemq.default.directory.prefix

Open in new window

I used it this way in setenv.bat, but no luck.
set JAVA_OPTS="... -Dorg.apache.activemq.default.directory.prefix=C:\Temp"

Well, these are the official switches, if they do not work I am not sure what else to try.
