Thanks James. I don't want or need to use MDBs or any other kind of EJBs. I want to avoid using JBoss if possible. I certainly do want to use Spring. I guess it comes down to whether or not ActiveMQ is as "professional grade" as JBossMQ, and according to the page you reference ActiveMQ actually blows JBossMQ out of the water in terms of performance. However I wonder if there are any other considerations, such as does JBossMQ have any features that ActiveMQ lacks?
No - in fact its the other way around, ActiveMQ has tons of features that JBossMQ lacks... http://incubator.apache.org/activemq/features.html
Isn't it true that I need to run JBossAS in order to get JBossMQ (perhaps that's a question for the JBoss forum)? Are there many enterprise level projects/products which use ActiveMQ as the messaging provider?
Absolutely. We've heaps of customers using Apache ActiveMQ in production today. Also WebSphere Community Edition from IBM comes with ActiveMQ too.
Are there any issues with persisting messages to a data source using ActiveMQ?
No
What about using transactions?
What about them? :) We are JMS and J2EE 1.4 compliant (via Geronimo) so handle JMS and XA transactions just fine -- James ------- http://radio.weblogs.com/0112098/
