Chapter 1. Known issues

JBoss A-MQ's console is normally launched using the amq command which is fully functional. However, JBoss A-MQ also includes a generic Apache Karaf shell that can be launched using the shell command. In the generic shell, the help command throws an exception.

We do not recommend using the generic Apache Karaf shell.

The ls console command, which is used for inspecting OSGi bundles, will throw an exception when listing the contents of some bundles.

On certain 64bit Windows platforms you need Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 Redistributable Package (x64) installed or JBoss A-MQ will not start.

The JVM classes that handle the validation of the JMX URL cannot process underscores.

As a workaround, change the resolver of the container to use local ip instead of hostnames. This can be done with the following command:

fabric:container-resolver-set --container containerName localip

fabric:container-resolver-set --container containerName localip
