Just to clarify some of the assumptions and also I think I am starting to understand the issue a little deeper, so in a way I am attempting to answer my own question.
In JBoss MDBs are not clustered. They are just message listeners. We can configure various load balancing policies on Queues and Topics, but we don'r have something like true in jboss.xml as we do for EJBs (other then MDB) So I guess in the way it answers the question. However, it doesn't solve the problem unless: 1. You change your implementation from Topic to Queue. This way due to the nature of the queue your message will not be retrieved more then once. And with configuring load balancing to do RoundRobin, it is interesting to observer how each server in the cluster is participating in the process. 2. If (due to your application requirements) you still have to choose Topic over Queue, then deploying MDB as singleton, solves the issue as well. This way it failsover with HA-JMS Which one is better, I believe it would depend on the requirement of your application.
