    Clustering HornetQ in AS7

      How do I do it?

          It doesn't seem to be enough to add <clustered>true</clustered> to the messaging subsystem inside standalone.xml.  Using the hornetq-configuration.xml from AS6 as a guide, apparently I need to define some discovery-groups and cluster-connections to achieve the message load-balancing behavior, but the MessagingSubsystemParser barfs on those elements.

           

          What am I missing?

            You will need to add the cluster-connection, yes...

             

            take a look at our hornetq standalone distribution, under hornetq-2.2.5.Final/config/stand-alone/clustered for how to add it.

             

             

            If it doesn't work we will need to figure out what's going on.

             

             

            Andy Taylor should be able to give us some insight here also.

              Hi guys, I'm facing the same issue here. I read the example from stand-alone, and add the following lines to my standalone-preview-ha.xml on JBoss 7:

               

                  <broadcast-groups>

                        <broadcast-group name="bg-group1">

                           <group-address>231.7.7.7</group-address>

                           <group-port>9876</group-port>

                           <broadcast-period>5000</broadcast-period>

                           <connector-ref>netty</connector-ref>

                        </broadcast-group>

                 </broadcast-groups>

               

               

                 <discovery-groups>

                        <discovery-group name="dg-group1">

                           <group-address>231.7.7.7</group-address>

                           <group-port>9876</group-port>

                           <refresh-timeout>10000</refresh-timeout>

                        </discovery-group>

                 </discovery-groups>

                     <cluster-connections>


                        <cluster-connection name="my-cluster">

                           <address>jms</address>

                           <connector-ref>netty</connector-ref>
                        <discovery-group-ref discovery-group-name="dg-group1"/>

                        </cluster-connection>
                 </cluster-connections>

               

              But I get an exception by Jboss XML parser:

               

              12:42:20,278 ERROR [stderr] Exception in thread "Controller Boot Thread" java.lang.RuntimeException: org.jboss.as.controller.persistence.ConfigurationPersistenceException: Failed to parse configuration

              Which is kinda acward since I've checked the schema at $JBOSS_HOME\docs\schema\jboss-messaging.xsd and

               

                        <xs:element maxOccurs="1" minOccurs="0" name="broadcast-groups">

                            <xs:complexType>

                                <xs:sequence>

                                    <xs:element maxOccurs="unbounded" minOccurs="0" name="broadcast-group" type="broadcast-groupType" />

                                </xs:sequence>

                            </xs:complexType>

                        </xs:element>

               

              Any ideas on how to get this running?

               

              Regards

                This is how I clustered using standalone mode - two instances of JBoss AS 7 running on the same host

                  @Vinicius: Can you add the whole file here. I'm not sure what you're missing.

                   

                   

                  Use advanced editor-> attach file.

                    With some help from the TorqueBox lead, Bob McWhirter, HornetQ is clustering in domain mode with the following:
