New Features in Message Queue 4.5

Message Queue 4.5 is an incremental release that includes a number of feature enhancements and bug fixes. Two of the most important features in this release relate to broker clusters, and another relates to consumer event notifications for Java clients:

Conventional clusters of peer brokers

This release introduces a new type of conventional cluster, the conventional cluster of peer brokers. Unlike a conventional cluster with a master broker, a conventional cluster of peer brokers maintains the cluster configuration change record in a shared JDBC data store instead of in the master broker. Thus, brokers can access cluster configuration information whether any other brokers in the cluster are running or not. For more information about conventional clusters of peer brokers, see Chapter 4, Broker Clusters, in Oracle GlassFish Server Message Queue 4.5 Technical Overview. For information about configuring and managing conventional clusters of peer brokers, see Chapter 10, Configuring and Managing Broker Clusters, in Oracle GlassFish Server Message Queue 4.5 Administration Guide.

Dynamically changing the master broker

Previously, to change the master broker in a conventional cluster from one broker to another, you had to stop all brokers, manually migrate the cluster configuration change record from the old master broker to the new one, and then start all brokers. This release provides the ability to change the master broker dynamically without stopping the cluster or performing manual migration tasks. For more information, see Changing the Master Broker in a Conventional Cluster with Master Broker in Oracle GlassFish Server Message Queue 4.5 Administration Guide.

Consumer event notifications for Java clients

This release introduces consumer event notifications for Java clients, which allow a Java client to listen for the existence of consumers on a destination. Thus, for example, a producer client can start or stop producing messages to a given destination based on the existence of consumers on the destination. For more information, see Consumer Event Notification in Oracle GlassFish Server Message Queue 4.5 Developer’s Guide for Java Clients.
