Using distributed JMS destinations in a cluster

A distributed JMS destination is a JMS queue or topic where the messages are spread across multiple servers in a cluster. They are used to have multiple JMS destinations across different servers that share a JNDI name.

Getting ready

You will need administrative access to the WebLogic domain that hosts your SOA Suite applications, and will need to have created a cluster already. If you already have a JMS queue using the JNDI name in your domain, you should delete this before creating the distributed destination.

How it works…

A distributed JMS queue allows you to have JMS queues with the same name on each node in a cluster. This allows the load to be distributed across multiple servers, with each server consuming off its own JMS queue and processing locally. A uniformly distributed destination is one in which the WebLogic Server creates the individual member queues on each server for you, rather than you having to do it yourself.
