This seems to be a WAS feature. What new functionality is in WMB 8.0.0.1 that the WAS plugin uses?

You seem to have completely failed to read the page.
What part of the title of the page "Using external web servers with WebSphere Message Broker" leads you to the notion that it's a WAS feature?
And, also

and

| If your topology is not described by the previous options, you can use the Message Broker API to generate a per-broker list of port and URL data in CSV format, which you can use in your web server configuration |

Hold the phone. I like the feature. It's great.
My question is, is there specific functionality hosted on WMB to enable it. My motivation for asking the question is, if so, its another reason to upgrade.
From the diagrams, it appears that the functions described reside on the HTTP server (WAS et al). I have no problem with this part of it.
I am inquiring to see if there is some unique WMB V8 code that participates in the topology.

None of the function described is hosted in WAS.
The function described allows you to create an export of the Broker http configuration.
This export can be made in several forms.
One of these forms can easily be used to take advantage of the existing function that WAS has for load balancing HTTP configs. So you can export your Broker config so that your existing WAS based HTTP server infrastructure can easily load-balance HTTP connections to your Brokers as well as your WAS installs.
Another form is to easily use the Apache standard mod-proxy load-balancer to load balance HTTP connections to broker.
A third form is as a CSV file that you can then consume in some manner to populate any load balancer you want.
This makes it *easy* to expose a Broker that has five EGs with separate HTTP and SOAP ports and separate URLs to HTTP/SOAP clients using a single IP address and port. You install and config Apache somewhere, and use mod-proxy to allow it to direct traffic to the correct Broker and EG. |

Thank you for the clarification. It makes more sense to me now. Will the WMB8-http-hosted admin console have an export button for this config file? : r f e :
