The legacy weighted distributed topic feature is for users who prefer to manually create topic members to carry extra message load or have extra capacity. However, BEA strongly recommends configuring uniform distributed topics to avoid possible administrative and application problems due to a weighted distributed topic not being deployed consistently across a cluster. For more information on creating a uniform distributed topic, see Create uniform distributed topics in a system module.
To create a weighted distributed topic:
Note: A
distributed topic that does not have a JNDI Name can be
referenced by passing the Name of the distributed topic to
javax.jms.TopicSession.createTopic()
.
Note: Once you create a weighted distributed topic, you cannot rename it. Instead, you must delete it and create another one that uses the new name.
The new weighted distributed topic is added to the module's Summary of Resources table.
After you finish
To configure the load balance weighting of the member topics, see Weighted distributed topics - configure member weights.
