messaging-clustering: Messaging Example that Demonstrates Clustering

Author: Jess Sightler
Level: Intermediate
Technologies: JMS, MDB
Summary: The messaging-clustering quickstart does not contain any code and instead uses the helloworld-mdb quickstart to demonstrate clustering using ActiveMQ Messaging.
Prerequisites: helloworld-mdb
Target Product: JBoss EAP
Source: https://github.com/jboss-developer/jboss-eap-quickstarts/

What is it?

The messaging-clustering quickstart demonstrates the use of clustering with Apache ActiveMQ and Red Hat JBoss Enterprise Application Platform. It uses the helloworld-mdb quickstart for its tests, so there is no code associated with this quickstart. Instructions are provided to run the quickstart on either a standalone server or in a managed domain.

System Requirements

The application this project produces is designed to be run on Red Hat JBoss Enterprise Application Platform 7.1 or later.

All you need to build this project is Java 8.0 (Java SDK 1.8) or later and Maven 3.3.1 or later. See Configure Maven for JBoss EAP 7.1 to make sure you are configured correctly for testing the quickstarts.

Use of EAP7_HOME

In the following instructions, replace EAP7_HOME with the actual path to your JBoss EAP installation. The installation path is described in detail here: Use of EAP7_HOME and JBOSS_HOME Variables.

Prerequisites

IMPORTANT: This quickstart depends on the deployment of the helloworld-mdb quickstart WAR for its tests. Before you continue, you must build the helloworld-mdb quickstart WAR.

Open a command prompt and navigate to the root directory of the helloworld-mdb quickstart. Type this command to build the WAR archive:

    mvn clean install

See the helloworld-mdb README for further information about this quickstart.

Configure the Server and Deploy the Quickstart

You can choose to deploy and run this quickstart in a managed domain or on a standalone server. The sections below describe how to configure and start the server for both modes.

NOTE - Before you begin:

  1. If it is running, stop the JBoss EAP server.

  2. If you plan to test using a standalone server, back up the file:

     EAP7_HOME/standalone/configuration/standalone-full-ha.xml

  3. If you plan to test using a managed domain, back up the following files:

     EAP7_HOME/domain/configuration/domain.xml
 EAP7_HOME/domain/configuration/host.xml

After you have completed testing this quickstart, you can replace these files to restore the server to its original configuration.

Configure the Server and Deploy the Quickstart to a Managed Domain

You configure the server by running the install-domain.cli script provided in the root directory of this quickstart.

Start the server in domain mode.

  1. Open a command prompt and navigate to the root of the JBoss EAP directory.

  2. The following shows the command line to start the server in domain mode:

     For Linux:   EAP7_HOME/bin/domain.sh
 For Windows: EAP7_HOME\bin\domain.bat

Configure the Domain Server and Deploy the Quickstart Using the JBoss CLI

  1. Review the install-domain.cli file in the root of this quickstart directory. This script creates the server group and servers and configures messaging clustering for testing this quickstart. You will note it does the following:

    • Stops the servers
    • Creates a server-group to test ActiveMQ Clustering
    • Adds 2 servers to the server-group
    • Configures ActiveMQ clustering in the full-ha profile
    • Deploys the helloworld-mdb.war archive
    • Restarts the servers.

    NOTE: If your helloworld-mdb quickstart is not located at the same level in the file structure as this quickstart, you must modify its path in this script. Find the NOTE: in the file for instructions.

  2. Open a command prompt, navigate to the root directory of this quickstart, and run the following command to run the script:

     For Linux: EAP7_HOME/bin/jboss-cli.sh --connect --file=install-domain.cli
 For Windows: EAP7_HOME\bin\jboss-cli.bat --connect --file=install-domain.cli

    You should see "outcome" => "success" for all of the commands.

  3. Restart the server in domain mode as described above.

Configure the Server and Deploy the Quickstart to a Standalone Server

If you choose to use standalone servers rather than domain mode, you will need two instances of the application server. Application server 2 must be started with a port offset parameter provided to the startup script as -Djboss.socket.binding.port-offset=100.

Since both application servers must be configured in the same way, you must configure the first server and then clone it.

Start the Server in Standalone Mode using the Full HA Profile.

  1. Open a command prompt and navigate to the root of the JBoss EAP directory.

  2. The following shows the command line to start the server with the full-ha profile. This profile supports clustering/HA

     For Linux:   EAP7_HOME_1/bin/standalone.sh -c standalone-full-ha.xml
 For Windows: EAP7_HOME_1\bin\standalone.bat -c standalone-full-ha.xml

Configure the Standalone Server and Deploy the Quickstart Using the JBoss CLI

  1. Review the install-standalone.cli file in the root of this quickstart directory. This script configures clustering for a standalone server. You will note it does the following:

    • Enables console logging. By default, the full HA profile does not log to the console, so this script enables it.
    • Enables clustering and sets a cluster password
    • Enables clustering in the RemoteConnectionFactory
    • Deploys the helloworld-mdb.war archive
    • Reloads the server configuration

    NOTE: If your helloworld-mdb quickstart is not located at the same level in the file structure as this quickstart, you must modify its path in this script. Find the NOTE: in the file for instructions.

  2. Open a command prompt, navigate to the root directory of this quickstart, and run the following command to run the script:

     For Linux: EAP7_HOME_1/bin/jboss-cli.sh --connect --file=install-standalone.cli
 For Windows: EAP7_HOME_1\bin\jboss-cli.bat --connect --file=install-standalone.cli

    You should see "outcome" => "success" for all of the commands.

Clone the JBoss EAP Directory

After you have successfully configured the server, you must make a copy of this JBoss EAP directory structure to use for the second server.

  1. Stop the server.

  2. Make a copy of this JBoss EAP directory structure to use for the second server.

  3. Remove the following directories from the cloned instance:

     EAP7_HOME_2/standalone/data/activemq/bindings
 EAP7_HOME_2/standalone/data/activemq/journal
 EAP7_HOME_2/standalone/data/activemq/largemessages

Start the JBoss EAP Standalone Servers with the Full HA Profile

When you start the servers, you must pass the cluster password on the command line to avoid the warning "AMQ222186: unable to authorise cluster control".

If you are using Linux:

    Server 1: EAP7_HOME_1/bin/standalone.sh -c standalone-full-ha.xml
    Server 2: EAP7_HOME_2/bin/standalone.sh -c standalone-full-ha.xml -Djboss.socket.binding.port-offset=100

If you are using Windows:

    Server 1: EAP7_HOME_1\bin\standalone.bat -c standalone-full-ha.xml
    Server 2: EAP7_HOME_2\bin\standalone.bat -c standalone-full-ha.xml -Djboss.socket.binding.port-offset=100

 For Windows: EAP7_HOME_1\bin\jboss-cli.bat --connect --file=undeploy-standalone.cli

Remove the Server Configuration

Remove the Domain Server Configuration

You can remove the domain configuration by manually restoring the back-up copies the configuration files or by running the JBoss CLI Script.

Remove the Domain Server Configuration Manually

Note: This method ensures the server is restored to its prior configuration.

  1. If it is running, stop the JBoss EAP server.
  2. Restore the EAP7_HOME/domain/configuration/domain.xml and EAP7_HOME/domain/configuration/host.xml files with the back-up copies of the files. Be sure to replace EAP7_HOME with the path to your server.

Remove the Domain Server Configuration by Running the JBoss CLI Script

Note: This script returns the server to a default configuration and the result may not match the server configuration prior to testing this quickstart. If you were not running with the default configuration before testing this quickstart, you should follow the intructions above to manually restore the configuration to its previous state.

  1. Start the JBoss EAP server by typing the following:

     For Linux:   EAP7_HOME/bin/domain.sh
 For Windows: EAP7_HOME\bin\domain.bat

  2. Open a new command prompt, navigate to the root directory of this quickstart, and run the following command, replacing EAP7_HOME with the path to your server.

     For Linux: EAP7_HOME/bin/jboss-cli.sh --connect --file=remove-domain.cli
 For Windows: EAP7_HOME\bin\jboss-cli.bat --connect --file=remove-domain.cli

    This script removes the server configuration that was done by the install-domain.cli script. You should see the following result following the script commands:

     The batch executed successfully

    _Note: If the :stop-server command does not complete before the next commands are issued, you may see an error similar to the following:

      {"JBAS014653: Composite operation failed and was rolled back. Steps that failed:" => {"Operation step-1" => "JBAS010977: Server (quickstart-messagingcluster-node1) still running"}}

    Simply wait a few seconds and run the command a second time._

Remove the Standalone Server Configuration

You can remove the domain configuration by manually restoring the back-up copies the configuration files or by running the JBoss CLI Script.

Remove the Standalone Server Configuration Manually

Note: This method ensures the server is restored to its prior configuration.

  1. If they are running, stop both JBoss EAP servers.
  2. Restore the EAP7_HOME_1/standalone/configuration/standalone-full-ha.xml file with the back-up copies of the file. Be sure to replace EAP7_HOME_1 with the path to your server.

Remove the Standalone Configuration by Running the JBoss CLI Script

Note: This script returns the server to a default configuration and the result may not match the server configuration prior to testing this quickstart. If you were not running with the default configuration before testing this quickstart, you should follow the intructions above to manually restore the configuration to its previous state.

  1. Start the JBoss EAP server by typing the following:

     For Linux:   EAP7_HOME_1/bin/standalone.sh -c standalone-full-ha.xml
 For Windows: EAP7_HOME_1\bin\domain.bat -c standalone-full-ha.xml

  2. Open a new command prompt, navigate to the root directory of this quickstart, and run the following command, replacing EAP7_HOME_1 with the path to your server.

     For Linux: EAP7_HOME_1/bin/jboss-cli.sh --connect --file=remove-standalone.cli
 For Windows: EAP7_HOME_1\bin\jboss-cli.bat --connect --file=remove-standalone.cli

This script removes the server configuration that was done by the install-standalone.cli script. You should see the following result following the script commands:

    The batch executed successfully

Delete the Cloned Standalone JBoss EAP Directory

  1. If it is running, stop the second instance of the JBoss EAP server.
  2. Delete the cloned directory.
