Good to see this is getting attention :) I appreciate that clustering is important - in fact I have couple of customers who are waiting for it. However, for them the DLQ is an absolute "must have". Without the DLQ we cannot have MDBs processing a queue, even in a single node environment. The situtation for the customer I'm working with that started this thread is that we would accept two standalone messaging servers rather than a clustered pair for our availability requirements - so long as we had a DLQ ... I guess this is a round about way of saying that for us a DLQ is higher priority than clustering. Unfortunately I am currently working flat out on a couple of projects so my ability to contribute towards making it happen is severly limited (quite happy to run our tests again if anyone does make progress on the DQL ;) Cheers, Andy View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=3969649#...
