Load Balancing topic requests

[deepak.ac]

Hi,

I have two Jboss EAP 5.1 nodes in a cluster with a topic in each node. The message from client side needs to be load balanced at cluster level. Meanwhile it shouldn't be a clusterd topic as the message is required to be delivered to  either one of the listener in 2 nodes. For just load balancing the requests can i use ClusteredConnectionFactory with topic as nonclustered.

This sounds to me that you should better use a 'queue' and not a 'topic' b/c the queue deliver the message only once.

Thanks for that. One addition to the query. if the topic is clustered how the load balancing happens?

The Proxy at client side is responsible for the LB, I'm not 100% sure ATM how it works I suppose it will be RoundRobin if you use the same proxy without new lookup.

But in case of a topic it is not relevant because a topic must be delivered to all members in a cluster b/c it must be delivered to all listeners.
