*Since Camel {since}*

*{component-header}*

The ActiveMQ component is an extension to the JMS component and has been pre-configured for using Apache ActiveMQ 6.x (not Artemis).
Users of Apache ActiveMQ Artemis should use the JMS component.

[IMPORTANT]
====
The camel-activemq component is best intended for ActiveMQ 6.x brokers. If you use ActiveMQ 5.x brokers,
then use the camel-activemq 5.x component instead.

[TIP]
====
*More documentation*

See the JMS component for more documentation and examples
====

Maven users will need to add the following dependency to their `pom.xml`
for this component:

[source,xml]
------------------------------------------------------------
<dependency>
    <groupId>org.apache.camel</groupId>
    <artifactId>camel-activemq</artifactId>
    <version>x.x.x</version>
    <!-- use the same version as your Camel core version -->
</dependency>
------------------------------------------------------------

== URI format

--------------------------------------------
activemq:[queue:|topic:]destinationName[?options]
--------------------------------------------

Where `destinationName` is a JMS queue or topic name. By default, the
`destinationName` is interpreted as a queue name. For example, to
connect to the queue, `foo` use:

-----------
activemq:foo
-----------

// component-configure options: START

// component-configure options: END

// component options: START
include::partial$component-configure-options.adoc[]
include::partial$component-endpoint-options.adoc[]
// component options: END

// endpoint options: START

// endpoint options: END

== Examples

You'll need to provide a connectionFactory to the ActiveMQ Component, to have the following examples working.

=== Producer Example

[source,java]
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
from("timer:mytimer?period=5000")
        .setBody(constant("HELLO from Camel!"))
        .to("activemq:queue:HELLO.WORLD");
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

=== Consumer Example

[source,java]
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
from("activemq:queue:HELLO.WORLD")
        .log("Received a message - ${body}");
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
