Version 1

    I've been testing HornetQ 2.1.2.Final for a few days now, and I needed to finally integrate it with our Java SE symmetric cluster server. We're using Spring 3 IOC  to instantiate and configure a few components, and we wanted to do the same with HornetQ, as migrating our code to a JBoss AS solution is not an option.

     

    The following configuration embeds a symmetric clustered instance of HornetQ into our server:

    A few notes about this configuration:

     

    • The JBoss JNP JNDI is also instantiated and configured. Our code relies on JNDI to perform the lookup of JMS connection factories and destinations.
    • I don't like the Spring p-namespace for property sets, but it can save a lot of space. Check it out here
    • 3 connectors/acceptors pairs are configured: one Netty-type for internal (within JVM) use, one Netty-type for external clients, and one InVM (configured, but not currently used)
    • No backup server or backup connectors are (currently) configured
    • No topics configured (should be pretty similar to queue configuration, but using TopicConfigurationImpl)
    • There are no proper set/get methods for user and roles in org.hornetq.spi.core.security.HornetQSecurityManagerImpl, so we created a simple extension of it to ease configuration from Spring:
