ActiveMQ Mirrored Queues on separate brokers

Question

Is it possible to set up mirrored queues on different broker instances, residing on different machines? If so, how?

If not, what component(s) might I need to subclass/override to do something homegrown?

Answer 1

Not really sure whay your incentive is for this setup.

If you have multiple brokers in a network, you can't really tell which machine a certain message is on (since it's forwarded to the broker where there is a connected consumer).

If all you need is wiretapping to a totally different ActiveMQ server, you can use Apache Camel for that (it's included in ActiveMQ).

You just need to configure a connector to each ActiveMQ instance. Actually, in a response to another question, I wrote a small Camel route that copies messages from every queue starting with FOO. to another queue with the name COPY.<queue name>. It might be useful in this case too.
