How to start Camel routes on slave ActiveMQ only when slave becomes active in failover?

Question

I have a durable consumer to a remote JMS queue in embedded Camel routing. Is it possible to have this kind of routing with master-slave configuration? Now it seems that the Camel routes are started and activated already when slave ActiveMQ is started and not when the actual failover happens.

Now it causes the slave instance to receive the same messages that are also sent to master and this causes duplicate messages to arrive to the queue on failover.

I'm using ActiveMQ 5.3 along with Apache Camel 2.1.

Answer 1

this shouldn't be an issue because the Camel context/routes on the slave will not start until it becomes the master (when the message store file lock is released by the master)
