We haven't looked at RabbitHub, but I don't think that it actually fits our use cases. We're not running AMQP on anything right now, so how would a gateway to it help? Besides, we're not just looking for an implementation of PuSH, we're looking for something that we can integrate into our enterprise environment. Java is the best-supported language in our IT infrastructure, and Spring is very well-accepted by the IT management crowd. We're also looking for things like administration consoles and support for authorization systems like OAuth and OAuth2. And ultimately, we want to build something scalable, testable, maintainable and deployable. We looked at pubsubhubbub-java, but that doesn't even make use of a servlet container let alone a larger framework with which we could build our local customizations.
