ActiveMQ remote connections refused despite 0.0.0.0 in broker URL

问题

I have an ActiveMQ v5.7.0 broker, running in Karaf v2.3.3, that I want to enable for remote connections. I've set the broker URL to 0.0.0.0:61616, to enable it to listen to network traffic. I've opened the firewall to allow the traffic from the client machines. However, all remote connections are being refused. A quick netstat seems to tell me that the broker isn't listening outside of localhost.

jeremy@server:~$ netstat -pan | grep 61616
tcp6       0      0 127.0.0.1:61616         :::*                    LISTEN      -               

Looking at the broker via Hawtio tells me that the URL looks as it should.

Transport connectors    Openwire: tcp://0.0.0.0:61616?maximumConnections=1000&wireformat.maxFrameSize=104857600

The firewall is definitely OK, as the connections are being refused rather than just being dropped.

The broker is responding correctly to connections from localhost.

This is the sort of error I get from remote connections:-

Can anyone tell me what I'm missing?

Thanks,

I've solved this. It was neither a problem with the firewall, nor with the ActiveMQ configuration.

The Karaf kar file in which the ActiveMQ broker was defined included the activemq-web-console feature. We've not been using this feature, as we're fans of Hawtio, so had never configured it.

As per this blog post, the console was coming up with default settings, including listening on port 61616. This meant that two brokers were in a race condition on start-up and the webconsole-defined one was generally winning. Since by default it isn't configured for remote access, it was locking the port for localhost connections only.

The giveaway was a directory called ${activemq.data} (literally) within the Karaf home directory, containing a second Kahadb repository. All of our broker config was set to use the data directory and we've never specifically set the ActiveMQ environment variables, so this led us to look for where a second broker might have come from.

Might have spotted it more quickly had we done activemq:list inside a Karaf session, as it was listing two brokers.

Simple solution - delete activemq-web-console from the features XML.
