6.2. Clustered Destinations

JBoss Messaging clusters Java Message Service (JMS) queues and topics transparently across the cluster. Messages sent to a distributed queue or topic on one node are consumable on other nodes. To make a particular destination clustered, the clustered attribute is used to set this functionality. Refer to Section 5.5.1, “MessagingPostOffice Attributes” for further information.

JBoss Messaging balances messages between nodes and caters for consumers of varying speeds so processing load can be efficiently distributed across the cluster.

To disable message redistribution between nodes while retaining other characteristics of clustered destinations, do not specify the ClusterPullConnectionFactoryName attribute on the Server Peer. Refer to Section 5.2, “ServerPeer attributes” for full details about this attribute.
