    Clustering for JMS over HTTPS?

      Hi there,

      We are running a JBossMQ server that is both accessible over https using jbossmq-httpil, and accessible locally over jnp. Our client wants high availability so we are trying to figure out how to deploy a failover scheme.

      We have been reading http://wiki.jboss.org/wiki/Wiki.jsp?page=JBossMQHAOverview, but it is not quite clear how this works for HTTPS?

      We now have an Apache server with mod_jk in front of our JBossMQ and we need to use the Apache server's external name for the service:

      <mbean code="org.jboss.mq.il.http.HTTPServerILService"...
       <attribute name="URLHostName">node.external.name</attribute>
       ...
      </mbean>

      Mod_jk is now configured as:
      JkMount /invoker jbossmq
      JkMount /invoker/* jbossmq
      JkMount /jbossmq-httpil jbossmq
      JkMount /jbossmq-httpil/* jbossmq
      

      worker.jbossmq.port=8009
      worker.jbossmq.host=node.internal.name
      worker.jbossmq.type=ajp13
      



      How should we configure multiple HTTPServerILService mbeans in a cluster to make them different, since they all need to be accessed through the same Apache server?

      I guess we also need to deploy a HA-JNDI service on all nodes, but does the http-invoker service work with a HA-JNDI?

      And how should we configure the client to acces the HA-JNDI over https:
      java.naming.provider.url=https://node.external.name:443/invoker/JNDIFactorySSL
      java.naming.factory.initial=org.jboss.naming.HttpNamingContextFactory
      
      context.lookup("HTTPConnectionFactory");
      

      Should we configure the client to use multiple http url's?
      Or could we use Apache load balancing to access the JNDI's and do the failover?
      Do we need HA-JNDI then?

      Many thanks in advance,
      Geert.
