JMS Topic Clustering Options

[airsquig]

Hello All,

We are doing some trials for using the JBoss server on a new system. I have JBoss Clustering configured. The application being used has a JMS topic that we need the messages to be replicated (pub/sub) on all cluster nodes. I do not have this working yet.

Now, I see that HA-JMS is on its way (Good work all, I am currently downloading source). Unfortunately, I do not think a production release of JBoss will be made before this system goes online.

I was wondering if there are any other options for at least the replication of JMS Pub/Sub messages between clustered nodes with the currently released version of JBoss. (A bridge between 2 topic queues?)

Also, if anyone has a comment about the release of 3.2.3, that would be helpful as well.

Thanks in advance!

I believe HA JMS was included in the 3.2.3 release.
But it is not configured by default.

Adrian

Is HA JMS just used for fail over of queues and topics or can it also be used to load balance MDBs?

I understand the 3.2.3 HA JMS to be a singleton cluster (i.e. you have one master message queue; if the master fails, then a new master is elected).
See http://www.cocoonhive.org/articles/jboss/20031125/JBoss32-hajms.html for more guidance.
