Hm, is anyone out there actually using ActiveMQ in this manner? The reason I'm doing this is that I'm considering deploying message brokers in a manner analogous to the way in which one would typically deploy mail servers: Programs on a server communicate with an MTA (such as Postfix or qmail) on the same machine, and that MTA acts as a dumb relay that simply sends all messages to a centrally administered MTA/MX. I'd deploy ActiveMQ instances on each server that simply send all of their messages on to a central ActiveMQ instance (or series of load-balanced instances).
I've had a look at Artemis, and it seems like the "core bridging" configuration requires you to manually name the queues that you want forwarded: https://activemq.apache.org/artemis/docs/2.1.0/core-bridges.html Given that Artemis seems to require you to specify queues to be forwarded, and given that plain ActiveMQ doesn't seem to want to forward messages no matter what I tell it, does this suggest that people don't typically deploy brokers in this way? -- Mark Raynsford | http://www.io7m.com
