Specifying an Application-Specific MQ Broker Cluster

In some cases, an application may need to use a different MQ broker cluster than the one used by the Application Server cluster. The following figure illustrates an example of such a scenario. To do so, use the AddressList property of a JMS connection factory or the activation-config element in an MDB deployment descriptor to specify the MQ broker cluster.

For more information about configuring connection factories, see Admin Console Tasks for JMS Connection Factories in Sun Java System Application Server Enterprise Edition 8.1 2005Q2 Administration Guide. For more information about MDBs, see Using Message-Driven Beans in Sun Java System Application Server Enterprise Edition 8.1 2005Q2 Developer’s Guide.
