Makes sense - now I see why someone else referred to me as 'retard' :-). I need to have the client listen to two different brokers (the embedded and the external) at the same time (so that the client receives messages published by both the brokers and the messages published by the client are sent to both the brokers). Is this the correct URI to network the embedded broker with an external broker? static:(vm://localhost,tcp://remotehost:61616) Could you also clarify an additional question? If I instantiate multiple connection factories in the same VM pointing to the embedded broker would all the cconnection factories in the VM share the same broker (as opposed to attempting to "instantiating a new embedded broker" if such a thing were possible)?
