2 JBossAS instances cannot share the same JBossMQ service for JMS gateways if JMS is installed ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Key: JBESB-659 URL: https://jira.jboss.org/browse/JBESB-659 Project: JBoss ESB Issue Type: Bug Security Level: Public(Everyone can see) Components: Configuration, Examples Environment: JBossAS 4.2GA, JBossESB - Head as of 07/05.2007. Reporter: James Williams Assignee: Kevin Conner Attachments: quickstart_helloworld.esb_node1.zip, quickstart_helloworld.esb_node2.zip, server-startup.log I am trying to get 2 JBossAS instances to share the same JMS Server for gateways. There's a lot of moving parts, but I'll try to explain the configurations: 1. JBossAS 4.2.0-GA default config with all .ESB archives, minus the quickstart_helloworld.esb. This server is started using the "-b localhost -c node0" startup parameters. 2. JBossAS 4.2.0-GA default config with "jbossesb.sar" and "quickstart_helloworld.esb". All other .ESB archives are removed and my goal is to use the JMS service in server #1 for gateways/listeners. The quickstart_helloworld.esb archive in this server has its own gateway/listener queues. This server is started using the "-b 192.168.200.1 -c node1" startup parameters. 3. JBossAS 4.2-GA default config with "jbossesb.sar" and "quickstart_helloworld.esb". All other .ESB archives are removed and my goal is to use the JMS service in server #1 for gateways/listeners. The quickstart_helloworld.esb archive in this server has its own gateway/listener queues that are different from the gateways/listeners in #2. This server is started using the "-b 192.168.200.2 -c node2" startup parameters. I'm not having any problems with nodes #2 and #3 sharing the JMS service that's running on #1, so long as JBossMQ isn't installed on node #2 or #3. If JMS is installed, quickstart_helloworld.esb archive fails to deploy on both #2 or #3. It complains that the Gateway queue does not exist, but it most certainly does. Worse yet, when I run the SendJMSMessage test class, it cannot find the queue either. It's as if jbossesb.sar is somehow screwing up all jndi lookups for the queue. There are a couple things I've done to try to rule out other potential root causes: 1. I tried running #1, #2, #3 w/out any .ESB archives or jbossesb.sar to verify that a JMS client can indeed drop requests into queues on all servers. To me, this validates that 3 unclustered JBossAS instances can each have their own JMS queues that are all accessible on a single machine, like my test environment, just by having the app servers bootstrapped by unique config and ip address. I was worried that the JMS service might be the culprit, but that doesn't appear to be the case. 2. I removed JMS from #2 and #3 to verify that the queues are setup correctly on #1 and to verify that #2 and #3 can indeed share the same JMS service provided they do not have JMS running themselves.
