The ZeroConf Transport
The ZeroConf transport works just like Discovery Transport, except that it uses a ZeroConf based discovery agent to locate the list of broker uris to connect to.
Configuration Syntax
zeroconf:serviceName?transportOptions
or
zeroconf:serviceName
where serviceName is the Zeroconf service name; which seems to start with an underscore (_) and must end with a dot (.). So we can use this service name to distinguish development, UAT & production brokers - or group them into domains etc.
Note that to be able to use ZeroConf to find brokers, the brokers need to have Discovery enabled. To configure discovery in a Broker you should use the Xml Configuration. Here is an example
of using discovery. Its basically something like...
<broker name="foo">
<connector>
<tcpServerTransport uri="tcp:/>
</connector>
<discoveryAgent>
<zeroconfDiscovery type="_activemq.broker.development."/>
</discoveryAgent>
...
</broker>
