I am using messaging 1.3 with JB 4.2 clustered on two servers I have a standalone client application running on both servers The server names are jbossclust1 and jbossclust2 When I start the client applications the Queue ConsumerCount on jbossclust2 is 2. I would expect the ConsumerCount to be 1 on both machines Here is the relevant client code. String strQueue = "/queue/testDistributedQueue"; ic = new InitialContext(); cf = (ConnectionFactory)ic.lookup("/ClusteredConnectionFactory"); connection = cf.createConnection(); Queue testQueue = (Queue)ic.lookup(strQueue); session = connection.createSession(false, Session.AUTO_ACKNOWLEDGE); // task queue MessageConsumer consumer = session.createConsumer(testQueue); connection.start(); while(true) { // if we get an admin shutdown message - exit if ( false ) { log(" shutdown requested"); break; } // get a task to process message = (TextMessage)consumer.receive(36000); if ( message == null ) { log(" no messages available"); continue; } log(" found a message - continuing"); ProcessMessage(message); } Suggestions please...
