Hello and welcome, I had a little trouble tracking down the slide you're referring to. It sounds like it could possibly be a bit dated given the title. Perhaps you could describe your intended usage a little bit? In particular I'd be interested in what you found lacking in the Messenger API, and how you envision using the engine. You should probably also be aware that the qpid cpp broker embeds the C protocol engine, Active MQ embeds the Java protocol engine, and the qpid java broker speaks AMQP 1.0 as well, so there are probably quite a few options for you to move over to using AMQP 1.0.
We're currently working on adding to our set of documentation. Right now what coverage we have focuses more on messenger than on the engine, but I'd be happy to take some time to fill in any missing areas of engine documentation or simply help out with answers on the list. Coincidentally I put together a brief intro this weekend on a few of the key concepts behind proton. You might find it helpful at a conceptual level, and if the engine sounds like what you're looking for I can help fill in the details: https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/qpid/Protocol%20Engines In either case as I mentioned above, it would be quite helpful to know more details about your intended usage scenarios in order to recommend the best approach. --Rafael On Sun, Feb 10, 2013 at 2:37 PM, Garrett Menghini <gmengh...@g.hmc.edu>wrote: > Hello, > > I am a team member working on a project that involves the use of AMQP.
