JBoss SOA/ESB multi-queue performance

[heyyou]

JBoss AS 5.1

JBoss SOA 5.0.2

JBoss Messaging 1.4.7

Is there a recommended configuration for supporting multiple JMS queue routing?

At the moment, I just want to test a simple routing configuration that simply routes all JMS messagings from 10 inbound queues to 10

outbound queues :

    InboundQueue1 -> OutboundQueue1

    InboundQueue2 -> OutboundQueue2

    ...

    InboundQueue10 -> OutboundQueue10

I'm tried four different techniques:

Syntax #1:  Single ESB + multiple inbound queues + multiple services (using invmScope)

   1.  Define each inbound queue in the <providers>..</providers> section

   2.  Create a <service> definition for each inbound/outbound pair of queues

        - Use 'invmScope="GLOBAL"' in my "<service .." declaration for each service

        - Use "org.jboss.soa.esb.actions.routing.JMSRouter" to route messages to corresponding outbound queue

Syntax #2: Single ESB + multiple inbound queues + multiple services (using internal queue)

   1.  Define each inbound and "internal" queue (for each inbound queue) in the <providers>..</providers> section

   2.  Create a <service> definition for each inbound/outbound pair of queues

        - Use 'internal" queue to route messages between inbound and outbound queues

        - Use "org.jboss.soa.esb.actions.routing.JMSRouter" to route messages to corresponding outbound queue

Syntax #3: Multiple ESB with single inbound queue + invmScope

    Create 10 separate ESB configurations for each pair of inbound/outbound queues and use invmScope

Syntax #4: Multiple ESB with single inbound queue + internal queue

     Create 10 separate ESB configurations for each pair of inbound/outbound queues and use the "internal" queue.

I can not do any better than 205 messages per second.  If I just send messages to 5 of inbound

queues ( thus routing to only 5 outbound ), the best rate is about 104 messages per second.  If I send to

a single inbound queue, the best I can get 880 msg/second.  All of which are extremely low performance.

This is a very simple example of just passthru messages.

If I define the 10 queues in JBossMessaging and just write/read for the 10 inbound queues ( since there

isn't any routing), the message rate is in the thousands.  So JBoss ESB is definitely throttling back

JBossMessaging.

I've include the jboss-esb.xml configuration files used for the first two scenarios above.

Is there a better method of defining multiple JMS queue configuration using JBoss ESB?
