Dear Cocooners,
currently our JMS block, to be actually working, requires that one:
- download and install a JMS client library, which we don't distribute for licensing reasons
- have a running instance of a JMS server in another VM
This is not very comfortable, isn't it?
But today I stumbled upon this [1]:
"ActiveMQ is an open source, Apache 2.0 licenced Message Broker and JMS 1.1 implementation which integrates seamlessly into Geronimo, light weight containers and any Java application. [ActiveMQ] can be used as an in memory JMS provider, ideal for unit testing."
So I though we could use that and have a working JMS provider out-of-the-box, immediately usable by blocks that need one (slide, eventcache).
Since I have zero knowledge of JMS-related matters and am too busy toying with the JCR, Slide, Hibernate and various petstores, I'm just suggesting that someone with the necessary expertise and free time look after it.
WDYT?
Ugo
P.S.: personally, I'm not that interested in JMS per se, but what I read about Streamlets [2] has tickled my curiosity. Sounds cool, doesn't it?
