              -e ANONYMOUS_LOGIN=true apache/activemq-artemis:latest-alpine
   

2. Create a Spring application with the starters spring-boot-starter-artemis and spring-boot-starter-json as dependencies.
3. Define application properties that provide the URL of the ActiveMQ Artemis message broker and enable the publish-subscribe domain:

spring.artemis.broker-url=tcp://localhost:61616
