Example project using IBM MQ, Spring Boot and Apache camel. It demonstrates both reading and writing to an MX queue by emitting a message every second and reading the message back. The receiving camel route outputs the body of the received message to the log.
To run the application it needs an instance of IBM MQ running locally. I used the IBM provided docker image - https://hub.docker.com/r/ibmcom/mq/.
To download the docker image...
docker pull ibmcom/mq
Full details for using the docker image can be found here->https://github.com/ibm-messaging/mq-docker
TL;DR
Run a default queue with all the defaults
docker run \
--env LICENSE=accept \
--env MQ_QMGR_NAME=QM1 \
--publish 1414:1414 \
--publish 9443:9443 \
--detach \
ibmcom/mq
Once started MQ Dev edition will be running with the following configuration
-
http://localhost:9443 - MQ Management console
Username : admin password: passw0rd
-
Port 1414 - MQ listener
All of the default settings are used for the demonstration application
Both Spring Actuator and Hawtio are configured on this example app using port 8095.
Actuator Endpoints
Some endpoints require authentication
Username : admin
Password : admin
http://localhost:8095/health
http://localhost:8095/info
http://localhost:8095/metrics
HAWTIO
Hawtio is available on port 8095: /hawtio as well. It provides realtime visualisation of the process, including the camel messages exchanges.
