...Given what we really need to get done (queue up messages and send them around - oh, and they don't want to use smtp) it seems like we could roll something in Ruby that would be a lot simpler and get the job done. This is not exactly my area of expertise; anyone with more experience with this sort of thing have any idea how difficult of a task that would be?
There are a handful of Ruby libraries designed to do reliable messaging...Ara Howard has his 'ruby-queue' project, which relies on NFS mounts to share data between the machines, while the 'reliable-msg' gem appears to use MySQL as a message store. Depending on your reliability, firewall-traversal, and language-portability requirements, you could probably even just use Rinda, or a similarly-trivial DRb-based solution. ActiveMQ is heavyweight, "enterprise grade" middleware, which sounds like it may be overkill for your situation. -Lennon _______________________________________________ PDXRuby mailing list [email protected] IRC: #pdx.rb on irc.freenode.net http://lists.pdxruby.org/mailman/listinfo/pdxruby
