...so maybe the question is, how hard is it to interface with JMS using something that's not Java (Ruby in this case)?
The "secret sauce" you're looking for may well be Stomp (http://stomp.codehaus.org/) -- apparently, the newer versions of ActiveMQ support Stomp clients, which exist for a number of languages including Ruby. Alternately, if you're not tied specifically to ActiveMQ, you might want to consider XMPP/Jabber -- there are a ton of client libraries, though most probably don't do local queuing very well. All in all, it sounds like the underlying protocol really isn't going to be as important as the network connection polling and deferrred delivery, which basically requires either running a stripped-down ActiveMQ instance on every client system, or rolling your own client/server protocol. JMS, and other enterprise messaging systems, are really designed for high-volume server-to-server communication, not intemittent client/server traffic. -Lennon _______________________________________________ PDXRuby mailing list [email protected] IRC: #pdx.rb on irc.freenode.net http://lists.pdxruby.org/mailman/listinfo/pdxruby
