Abstract
A production messaging node in a messaging environment registers a subscription to itself (registers a self-subscription) with a central repository. The self-subscription enables the production messaging node to detect and identify a clone of itself in the messaging environment. The self-subscription ensures that a configuration change applied to the clone triggers a notification that is sent to the production messaging node. The notification enables the production messaging node to determine that the clone is active in the messaging environment. The production messaging node may then respond in various ways depending on the prevailing circumstances. Self-subscribing a messaging node to a central repository enables detection and identification of a cloned messaging node which if left un-marshalled, may disrupt the functioning of the messaging configuration.
