Thanks Tim, for the reply. I have three questions and would appreciate if you could throw some light on it. 1. Now, when I use different machines, I dont have to Uncomment binding manager service from $JBOSS_CONFIG/conf/jboss-service.xml, if I am not wrong. 2. I see from the guide that, if there are several Jboss messaging instances running on differtent machines in the network, then when the all these instances are started using the run -c messaging, they form a partition (Default Partition). How do I customize this; I mean, how do I allow only the instances that I need, to form a partition? When I started my Jboss messaging instance, I was able to see the instances running in my co-worker's machine were also taking part in the cluster and finally he had to turn of the cluster attribute to false in his postoffice in the mysql-persistence-service.xml . 3. I have three messaging nodes in the partition. One of the clients attached to node one is loading the queue in node one with messages. I am not sending any messages to the other two queues. However, I have three listeners (one for each node) listening to the queue. I would like to know if the messages are evenly distributed to all the queues in the partition. I am using the ClusterPullConnectionFactoryName in messaging-service.xml file. Thanks & Regards, Ebe View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4157703#...
