Number of Consumers on HornetQ Clustered Node is 0

[srikanth.josyula]

I have HornetQ cluster with 2 nodes. Please look at attached flow.jpg for mule flow.

Mule Flow1:

I have Mule ESB using JMS component to Insert into clustured Queue.

Mule Flow2:

Read from HornetQ cluster and invoke a Mule Callback listener which will read the messages.

Two nodes are getting messages in round robin fashion because forward-when-no-consumers is set to true. If i set it to false then its going to one node only. which is correct.

Which is well and good but when i monitor the queues using JConsole it clearly says consumer count on node1 is 6 and node2 is 0.

So when the message goes to second node then it just not doing anying because there is no consumer to consume the message. For node 1 it shows 6 because in Mule ESB i specified number of consumers to 6.

<jms:connector name="hornetq-connector" username="guest"

        maxRedelivery="5" password="guest" specification="1.1"

        connectionFactory-ref="connectionFactory" doc:name="JMS"   numberOfConsumers="6" >

        <spring:property name="retryPolicyTemplate" ref="ThreadingPolicyTemplate"  />

</jms:connector>

config.zip:-Please find attached hornetq configuration files.

My question: Is there any way i can increase the number of consumers or distribute the consumers across multiple nodes.

Thanks,

My question: Is there any way i can increase the number of consumers or distribute the consumers across multiple nodes.

The number of consumers will be controlled by Mule I assume, its not really anything to do with HornetQ. Its connections thaty are load balanced not consumers so you would have to have multiple connections bu8t again this is probably a question for Mule.

I was able to fix this problem using Mule's composite-source component tag by specifying all messages sources. Let me know if you need further information.
