    Distributed messaging without clustering

    fs5

      Hi,

      is it possible to configure JBoss Messaging in a distributed way without clustering the application server beneath? I mean, like a message bus?

      If so, where can I find more information about this?

      (I am referring to the JBM version that is shipped with JBoss AS 5.0)

      Kindly appreciate your help,
      Frank

          Can you explain a bit more about your use case? Thanks.

            From what I have understood from the documentation, you will get a distributed messaging system as long the JBoss application server underneath is clustered. So in this setup, you can in-queue a message in one node and out-queue this message in another node.

            But what if the two application server instances are not forming a cluster? In this case, is there a way to achieve the same result? - I mean, sending a message through a queue that is not deployed locally and receiving this message on a different application server instance also from a queue that is not deployed locally?

            Is such a scenario feasible?

            Thank you for your help,
            Frank

              In JBM 1.4 you can use JMS bridges to bridge nodes which are not part of the same cluster.

              In JBM 2.0 you can connect nodes in elaborate ways to form complex topologies.
