Can a pure master/slave cluster be configured using a network connector?

Resolution

You do not use a network connector when configuring a pure master/slave cluster. You configure a slave in one of two ways:

1) Using masterConnectorURI and shutdownOnMasterFailure attributes of the amq:broker element:

<beans xmlns:amq="http://activemq.org/config/1.0">
  ...
  <broker depends-on="jmxServer" masterConnectorURI="tcp://masterhost:62001" shutdownOnMasterFailure="false">
    ...
  </amq:broker>
</beans>

2) Using the masterConnector element:

<beans xmlns:amq="http://activemq.org/config/1.0">
  ...
  <broker depends-on="jmxServer" shutdownOnMasterFailure="false" >
   ...    
   <masterConnector remoteURI= "tcp://localhost:62001" userName="James" password="Cheese" />
  ...
  </broker>
</beans>

Please also notice that ActiceMQ also provides shared filesystem master/slave and JDBC master/slave.
