Description

We cannot use XInclude in XML configuration files like activemq.xml.

After investigation, I see Activemq does not have XInclude supported/turned-on in Spring 3.0 and it requires extending Spring XML handler classes that alter the DocBuilder to allow XIncludes.

We recommend a patch that will either allow XIncludes or patch XBean to allow embedded imports.

This is important for our massive deployment because we really would like to de-couple the main activemq.xml from certain broker parameters like queue/topic declarations.
