Hi all, I am trying to understand the most optimised way to send messages concurrently between two activemq endpoints using Camel. There has been some discussions on this in the mail groups but some of them confuses me even more. So I am looking the draw the line under this topic and get your recommendations on how to configure them for efficient use.
ActiveMQ documentation (http://camel.apache.org/activemq.html - Using connection pooling) recommends using PooledConnectionFactory together with camel's ActiveMQComponent in order to pool connections, sessions and producers. Camel in Action book recommends using camel ActiveMQComponent and notes that it configures connection pooling automatically for improved performance (page 198) and does not mention PooledConnectionFactory at all. So should I assume that camel's ActiveMQComponent does not pool sessions and producers? Furthermore, considering the example in AMQ documentation page above: <bean id="jmsConnectionFactory" class="org.apache.activemq.ActiveMQConnectionFactory"> <property name="brokerURL" value="tcp://localhost:61616" /> </bean> <bean id="pooledConnectionFactory" class="org.apache.activemq.pool.PooledConnectionFactory"> <property name="maxConnections" value="8" /> <property name="maximumActive" value="500" /> <property name="connectionFactory" ref="jmsConnectionFactory" /> </bean> <bean id="jmsConfig" class="org.apache.camel.component.jms.JmsConfiguration"> <property name="connectionFactory" ref="pooledConnectionFactory"/> <property name="transacted" value="false"/> <property name="concurrentConsumers" value="10"/> </bean> <bean id="B1" class="org.apache.activemq.camel.component.ActiveMQComponent"> <property name="configuration" ref="jmsConfig"/> </bean> With a route configuration like this where messages are moved from B1 (configured above) and some other activemq instance B2: <route> <from uri="B1:Q1" /> <to uri="B2:Q1" /> </route> My questions are: 1. Where can I control the number of producers pooled in PooledConnectionFactory? Does it create and pool one producer per session (maximumActive setting above)? 2. So if PooledConnectionFactory doesn't pool consumers, isn't it always inefficient to use PooledConnectionFactory for B1 and efficient for B2? Or is it always more efficient to configure both endpoints (B1 and B2) with PooledConnectionFactory? Based on your experiences, can you advice when to use PooledConnectionFactory and any tradeoffs you are aware of please? Apologies if this is too long a mail but I'd appreciate any info/advice you can give.
