Configuration

We want:

Server side config

• persistent messaging
  • kaha store
• tcp transport
• dynamic creation of Destinations

Client side config

• auto-reconnection

• - async sends and how do i enable asynchronous sending OR JMS transactions ?

See Connection Configuration

failover:(tcp://localhost:61616?wireFormat.tightEncodingEnabled=false)?jms.useAsyncSend=true&jms.copyMessageOnSend=false

Remove unnecessary config from config file

• Remove camel route

• Remove unneeded transports. (See overview over available transports ).

A "OK" working config

See activemq.xml for config.
