Using an MQ Broker Cluster with an Application Server Cluster

To configure an Application Server cluster to use an MQ broker cluster, add all the MQ brokers as JMS hosts in the Application Server’s Java Message Service. Any JMS connection factories created and MDBs deployed will then use the JMS configuration specified.

The following figure illustrates an example deployment with three MQ brokers in an broker cluster and three Application Server instances in a cluster.
