Deployment.xml: Establishing dependency between clustered and non-clustered artifacts?

[dbuttery]

Hi all,

    I'm looking for a way to establish a deployment.xml dependency from a non-clustered ESB to a clustered ESB (or its JMS queue).

    I have a ESB that is deployed to a non-clustered server.   That ESB sends JMS messages to another ESB that is to be deployed across a cluster.

    I need a way to have the non-clustered ESB be dependent on there being at least one instance of the clustered ESB available.

    Is this even possible?

Thanks,

-Dennis

You can try asking on the jbossas forum, but I think you are looking at creating your own custom MBean - which wouldn't have to do much other than test members of your cluster to find out if the ESB service is deployed (lookup the ESB's MBean in JNDI).

Thanks Tom!

I'll look into that approach.
