How to start multiple Artemis brokers inside Red Hat JBoss EAP-7 container in Master/Slave fashion

    To be as simple as possible, we will walk through a stand-alone use-case.

    Usually, when we require having messaging features in our stand-alone environment, we use full profile for EAP container.

    If we have a requirement with clustering functionalities then we prefer to have HA profile but if clustering and messaging both are required then we go for a full-HA profile.

    By default with a full/full-HA profile, EAP-7 container provides us the default configuration for the embedded Artemis Broker with default configuration. But, in certain scenarios, people might have a requirement for the additional broker inside the same EAP-7 container. In such cases, I recommend having separate connector mapping for additional Artemis Broker.

    First, create the socket-binding entry inside the socket-binding-group for an additional Artemis broker:

    <socket-binding name="http-2" port="${jboss.http.port:8180}" />

    Here, I am creating http-2 as socket-binding for additional Artemis. Artemis uses http port 8080 for communication by default. However, it will be occupied when we will start our EAP-7 server hence to avoid conflict, I added an additional socket for the second instance of Artemis in a container.

    Next, is to rename the existing default Artemis server/broker to identify between multiple instances. I am trying to set up master-slave topology and hence I am setting up server name as 'master'.

    <server name="master">

    Then I copy the same server and pasted inside messaging subsystem with a name as a backup.

    <server name="backup">
    
    <security-setting name="#">
    
    <role name="guest" send="true" consume="true" create-non-durable-queue="true" delete-non-durable-queue="true"/>
    
    </security-setting>
    
    <address-setting name="#" dead-letter-address="jms.queue.DLQ" expiry-address="jms.queue.ExpiryQueue" max-size-bytes="10485760" page-size-bytes="2097152" message-counter-history-day-limit="10"/>
    
    <http-connector name="http-connector-2" socket-binding="http-2" endpoint="http-acceptor-2"/>
    
    <http-connector name="http-connector-throughput-2" socket-binding="http" endpoint="http-acceptor-throughput-2">
    
    <param name="batch-delay" value="50"/>
    
    </http-connector>
    
    <in-vm-connector name="in-vm" server-id="1"/>
    
    <http-acceptor name="http-acceptor-2" http-listener="default"/>
    
    <http-acceptor name="http-acceptor-throughput-2" http-listener="default">
    
    <param name="batch-delay" value="50"/>
    
    <param name="direct-deliver" value="false"/>
    
    </http-acceptor>
    
    <in-vm-acceptor name="in-vm" server-id="1"/>
    
    <jms-queue name="ExpiryQueue-2" entries="java:/jms/queue/ExpiryQueue-2"/>
    
    <jms-queue name="DLQ-2" entries="java:/jms/queue/DLQ-2"/>
    
    <connection-factory name="InVmConnectionFactory-2" connectors="in-vm" entries="java:/ConnectionFactory-2"/>
    
    <connection-factory name="RemoteConnectionFactory-2" connectors="http-connector-2" entries="java:jboss/exported/jms/RemoteConnectionFactory-2"/>
    
    <pooled-connection-factory name="activemq-ra-2" transaction="xa" connectors="in-vm" entries="java:/JmsXA-2 java:jboss/DefaultJMSConnectionFactory-2"/>
    
    </server>

    After this step, I thought to have a master and execute below command to make both the brokers in master-slave fashion:

    $ /subsystem=messaging-activemq/server=master/ha-policy=shared-store-master:add(failover-on-server-shutdown=true)
    
    $ /subsystem=messaging-activemq/server=backup/ha-policy=shared-store-slave:add(allow-failback=true,restart-backup=true,failover-on-server-shutdown=true)

    The entire configuration of the messaging subsystem is as below:

    <subsystem xmlns="urn:jboss:domain:messaging-activemq:1.0">
     <server name="master">
     <shared-store-master failover-on-server-shutdown="true"/>
     <security-setting name="#">
     <role name="guest" delete-non-durable-queue="true" create-non-durable-queue="true" consume="true" send="true"/>
     </security-setting>
     <address-setting name="#" message-counter-history-day-limit="10" page-size-bytes="2097152" max-size-bytes="10485760" expiry-address="jms.queue.ExpiryQueue" dead-letter-address="jms.queue.DLQ"/>
     <http-connector name="http-connector" endpoint="http-acceptor" socket-binding="http"/>
     <http-connector name="http-connector-throughput" endpoint="http-acceptor-throughput" socket-binding="http">
