Installation

This page contains important notes on installing the extension. Read the instructions for the replication extension closely.

eXist 3.0 and later

Download and Install

The extension is available in the Public Application Repository. Installing the extension can be done with just a few clicks using the Package Manager. Install the latest "Messaging and Replication - Core" and "Messaging and Replication" (in this order).

Alternatively (e.g. when there is an corporate HTTP proxy involved requiring authorization - the Package Manager does not work in this case) the extension can be downloaded from the GitHub servers. This site contains always the latest and greatest versions of the XARs. A change log available.

Enabling automatic startup of extension

The 'receivers' of the messaging and replication features can be started by using the xquery functions. To get these 'jms listeners' started at database start, xquery scripts can be added to /db/system/autostart.
