Dependencies

A Java JVM must be present in the system if amq_broker_jvm_install is false.
For RHEL/CentOS 6 due to dependency of ansible-xml module, you have to install following packages yum install -y libxml2-devel libxslt-devel and upgrade python-lxml, because we need at least 2.5.0+: pip install --upgrade lxml This works even for deprecated python 2.6.

Example Playbook

Including an example of how to use your role (for instance, with variables passed in as parameters) is always nice for users too:

- hosts: all
	remote_user: root
	vars:
		amq_broker_download_url: http://host/path/to/amq/jboss-amq-7.0.0.redhat-1-bin.zip
		amq_broker_download_dest: /tmp
		amq_broker_install_dest: /home/{{ amq_broker_user }}
		amq_broker_user: jamq
		amq_broker_install_link: jboss-amq-7
		amq_broker_jvm: java-1.8.0-openjdk-devel
		amq_broker_jvm_install: true
		amq_broker_instance_dir: jboss-amq-7-i0
		amq_broker_instance_jmx_port: 1099
	roles:
		- ansible-amq-broker

Testing

To test this role you need docker. If your system has docker, this role can be tested using the following command:

make test

Note: you need to install python2-docker for the test to run.
