Using a Single Servlet to Access Multiple Brokers

You do not need to configure multiple Web servers and servlet instances if you are running multiple brokers. You can share a single Web server and HTTPS tunnel servlet instance among concurrently running brokers. If multiple broker instances are sharing a single tunnel servlet, you must configure the imqAddressList connection factory attribute as shown below:

https://hostName:portNumber

/contextRoot/tunnel?ServerName=
bkrHostName:instanceName

Where bkrHostName is the broker instance host name and instanceName is the name of the specific broker instance you want your client to access.

To check that you have entered the correct strings for bkrhostName and instanceName, generate a status report for the HTTPS tunnel servlet by accessing the servlet URL from a browser. The report lists all brokers being accessed by the servlet:

HTTPS tunnel servlet ready.
