Thanks, Tim. I agree it's straightforward and common but I don't seem to be able to get it to work for some reason. When I have my servlets, destinations and MDB deployed in the same cluster and use: InitialContext ctx = new InitialContext(); I can access my destinations just fine. (note: all the examples in the JBoss Messaging 1.3 doc use the same method of creating an InitialContext as shown above, none specify a URL belonging to a remote machine). When I move the servlet to cluster1 and the destinations / MDB to cluster2, it stops working. I tried creating the InitialContext with a PROVIDER_URL that pointed Cluster2 i.e. Properties h = new Properties(); h.put( Context.PROVIDER_URL, "jnp://cluster2:1099" ); InitialContext ctx = new InitialContext(h); but this didn't work. The application works if everything is deployed to a single JBoss server or to a single JBoss cluster but I can't get cluster to cluster working. That's the example I am looking for.
