Problem configuring a "network of brokers"?

Not sure how to configure this or if it's even possible with ActiveMQ.
The system we are want to use is as follows.:

One central broker.
X number of "client brokers", placed in different location (over WAN) but with contact to the central broker

The clients connects to the "client brokers" and when they post a message to a "client broker" it should be forwarded to the central broker where
someone should consume it. And when posting a message to the central broker, it should be forwarded to one of the "client brokers" (depending on which
queue it's posted on), and a client can read it from the "client broker"
I.e no messages should transfer from one "client broker" to another "client broker", all messages should just travel between the central broker and
one of the "client brokers".

The reason we want a configuration like this, is so messages can be posted even if the network between a client and the central broker is down..

Did that make any sense? Is this possible? 
I have been looking at a network of brokers but as fas as I can see, this is more a load balancing configuration and that is not what we want...


Regards,

BTJ

Yes, I have removed the duplex attribute, got to thinking that I don't need them... :)

Re: Problem configuring a "network of brokers"?

Posted by Dejan Bosanac <de...@nighttale.net>.
Hi Bjorn,

just one thing, since you're specifying network connectors on both ends,
they don't need to be duplex. That could save you from some of the potential
problems.

Re: Problem configuring a "network of brokers"?

Posted by Dejan Bosanac <de...@nighttale.net>.
Hi, it should work for topics, the same as for queues. The only problem I
can anticipate is that you may use non-durable topic subscribers. Check out
these articles

http://activemq.apache.org/how-do-durable-queues-and-topics-work.html
http://activemq.apache.org/why-do-i-not-receive-messages-on-my-durable-topic-subscription.html

If that is not a problem, try turning on debugging and diagnose what is
happening.

Cheers

Re: Problem configuring a "network of brokers"?

Posted by Bjørn T Johansen <bt...@havleik.no>.
Or maybe I am doing this wrong... I am using same kind of jsm:listener  
that I use to read messages from a queue... Should this work or do I  
have to subscribe to a topic som other way? (I can't seem to find any  
examples on how to read topic messages using Spring...)

Re: Problem configuring a "network of brokers"?

Posted by Bjørn T Johansen <bt...@havleik.no>.
There is one thing that is still not working...

I changed the queue <queue physicalName="no.asp.nexstep.xmlfilesall"/> to a topic:

	<topic physicalName="no.asp.nexstep.xmlfilesall"/>

And it seems to be workin because when posting a message to that topic on the central server, it is forwarded to both boserver1 and boserver2. But
when a client connects to either boserver1 or boserver2, there is no topic in the topic queue to be read and I guess I am still missing something?

Re: Problem configuring a "network of brokers"?

Posted by Bjørn T Johansen <bt...@havleik.no>.
Hmmm... I might have the config correct... I was confused by the fact that all the queues are display on the admin page of both boserver1 and
boserver2... (but the messages seems to only bo delivered where they are supposed to...)

But could any verify that my config is correct? and that there isn't any more configuration I should/could use?

Re: Problem configuring a "network of brokers"?

Posted by Bjørn T Johansen <bt...@havleik.no>.
Hmmm... That's the example I have used but I don't get the config correct...

The is the config for the central broker:

<networkConnector name="bridge_boserver1" uri="static://(tcp://10.4.34.26:61616)" dynamicOnly="true" conduitSubscriptions="false" decreaseNetworkConsumerPriority="false">
                <excludedDestinations>
                        <queue physicalName="no.asp.nexstep.xmlfiles_boserver2"/>
                </excludedDestinations>
                <staticallyIncludedDestinations>
                        <queue physicalName="no.asp.nexstep.queue"/>
                        <queue physicalName="no.asp.nexstep.xmlfiles_boserver1"/>
                        <queue physicalName="no.asp.nexstep.xmlfilesall"/>
                </staticallyIncludedDestinations>
                <duplex>true</duplex>
                <networkTTL>1</networkTTL>
            </networkConnector>
            <networkConnector name="bridge_boserver2" uri="static://(tcp://10.4.34.19:61616)" dynamicOnly="true" conduitSubscriptions="false" decreaseNetworkConsumerPriority="false">
                 <excludedDestinations>
                        <queue physicalName="no.asp.nexstep.xmlfiles_boserver1"/>
                 </excludedDestinations>
                 <staticallyIncludedDestinations>
                        <queue physicalName="no.asp.nexstep.queue"/>
                        <queue physicalName="no.asp.nexstep.xmlfiles_boserver2"/>
                        <queue physicalName="no.asp.nexstep.xmlfilesall"/>
                </staticallyIncludedDestinations>
                <duplex>true</duplex>
                <networkTTL>1</networkTTL>
            </networkConnector>
        </networkConnectors>



And this is for the boserver1 broker..:

<networkConnectors>
            <!-- by default just auto discover the other brokers -->
            <!--<networkConnector name="default-nc" uri="multicast://default"/>-->
            <!-- Example of a static configuration:
            <networkConnector name="host1 and host2" uri="static://(tcp://host1:61616,tcp://host2:61616)"/>
            -->
            <networkConnector name="bridge" uri="static://(tcp://10.4.34.10:61616)" dynamicOnly="true" conduitSubscriptions="false" decreaseNetworkConsumerPriority="false">
                <staticallyIncludedDestinations>
                        <queue physicalName="no.asp.nexstep.queue"/>
                        <queue physicalName="no.asp.nexstep.xmlfiles_boserver1"/>
                        <queue physicalName="no.asp.nexstep.xmlfilesall"/>
                </staticallyIncludedDestinations>
                <duplex>true</duplex>
                <networkTTL>1</networkTTL>
            </networkConnector>
        </networkConnectors>


And this is for the boserver2 broker..:

<networkConnectors>
            <!-- by default just auto discover the other brokers -->
            <!-- Example of a static configuration:
            <networkConnector name="host1 and host2" uri="static://(tcp://host1:61616,tcp://host2:61616)"/>
            -->
            <networkConnector name="bridge" uri="static://(tcp://10.4.34.10:61616)" dynamicOnly="true" conduitSubscriptions="false" decreaseNetworkConsumerPriority="false">
                <staticallyIncludedDestinations>
                        <queue physicalName="no.asp.nexstep.queue"/>
                        <queue physicalName="no.asp.nexstep.xmlfiles_boserver2"/>
                        <queue physicalName="no.asp.nexstep.xmlfilesall"/>
                </staticallyIncludedDestinations>
                <duplex>true</duplex>
                <networkTTL>1</networkTTL>
            </networkConnector>
        </networkConnectors>


The problem is that all the queues are available on both boserver1 broker and boserv2 broker (I thought that boserver1 should not see the bosever2
queue and boserver2 should not have seen the boserver1 queue but they do).

What I want is messages posted on boserver1 should only reach the central broker (and not the boserver2 broker). Also messages posted on the central
broker should reach either boserver1 or boserver2 (and not based on a random outcome which). Also some messages posted on the central broker should
be delivered to both boserver1 and boserver2 broker...


So what am I missing?

Re: Problem configuring a "network of brokers"?

Posted by Dejan Bosanac <de...@nighttale.net>.
Hi Bjorn,

this is exactly what network of brokers are supposed to do. Note that broker
will forward a message to other broker only if there is a consumer for that
destination on the other broker. You can ensure that messages go only to the
next broker in the network, by setting networkTTL parameter to 1. You can
also exclude some destinations for a certain network connector and ensure
that messages are never forwarded. Take a look at
http://activemq.apache.org/networks-of-brokers.html for more detailed
examples.

Hope this helps
