Question

I’ve created a simple MDB application and deployed it to Glassfish v 3.1 with embedded MQ broker. Destination Resource with name “jms/Queue” was created as well.
Please see part of the code below:

    @MessageDriven(
       mappedName = "jms/Queue",
       activationConfig = {
          @ActivationConfigProperty(propertyName = "destinationType", propertyValue = "javax.jms.Queue"),
        }
    )

    public class MessageBean implements MessageListener {

         public void onMessage(Message message) {
........

This works fine, but how to configure this application to work with remote MQ broker instance(located on another host)?

Answer 1

You have two options:

• Use the REMOTE mode when configuring your JNDI resources for ConnectionFactory and Queue entities so these entities are hosted by a remote OpenMQ.

• Configure a bridge to connect together two queues hosted in difference instances. Here is the documentation reference about that feature.
