A simple load-balancing solution is to "schedule your jobs to the cluster" by posting your job-objects on a queue, and use an MDB to process these jobs. Jboss jms will load-balance the jobs over all available mdb's, and redeliver the job if a node dies during the handling. Note that you may want to restrict the nb of MDB's within each node to 1, using the maxSession attribute: @MessageDriven(activationConfig = { @ActivationConfigProperty(propertyName = "destinationType", propertyValue = "javax.jms.Topic"), @ActivationConfigProperty(propertyName = "destination", propertyValue = "queue/jobs"), @ActivationConfigProperty(propertyName = "maxSession", propertyValue = "1")}) View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4175053#...
