Apache Jmeter Configuration For Testing Apache ActiveMQ

One of my favourite testing tool is Apache Jmeter(Wouldnt give up soap UI too!!). My project involved sending test messages to ActiveMQ from Apache Jmeter. I had to figure out how to make Jmeter work for ActiveMQ. After sometime of going through some pages from google i found the way to make it work. Here are the steps

1. Copy activemq-all-5.7.0.jar from activeMQ installation and drop it in C:\apache-jmeter-2.8\lib.

2. Create a project in Jmeter with the following configuration

3. Check the ActiveMQ console configuration for the queue. The queue 'kiran' has no messages enqueued in it.

4. Run the test plan in jmeter and check the ActiveMQ console again. You can see the messages enqueued.

That's how you can make Jmeter work for testing ActiveMQ!!
