Is it possible to send a first message on bootstrap of ActiveMQ part of configuration

I'm trying to avoid sending a message in the application level. Because the message is special; It is just an empty message that I send to ActiveMQ which is later delivered after x minutes to clients (a way for maintaining a shared clock).

This is Schedule Message Delivery and is part of ActiveMQ features.

OK, back to the question, as could send the message scheduled for delivery to clients each x minutes:

sendNotifications(
  { data: {} },
  {
    schedule: {
      cron: `*/5 * * * *`,
    },
  }
);

I try to avoid sending this message on app bootstrap but on configuration of ActiveMQ itself!

Solution

  • There is no way to initialize a queue with a message configured via activemq.xml (or any other supported broker configuration file). You'll need to use an application to send this message.
