how do i embed the broker without specifying a broker name? the embedded broker always has a brokername = hostname, doesn't it? if i use 'vm://' then it doesn't seem to embed the broker properly, my MDBs don't read the destinations any more.
am i even configuring this correctly? i want a 'network' of jboss instances so that I can send a message to a topic with a multicast (or rendezvous) broker url, and an mdb on each jboss instance listening to the topic will see the message. does that make sense? it seemed to work correctly earlier today, but now it goes into some infinite loop of bouncing messages back and forth between the brokers.
