I think a well defined mapping of JMS semantics onto AMQP commands is
possible and desirable. I'm not as sure that there is a mapping of AMQP
commands onto JMS semantics.
For example, in AMQP there is a bind command for attaching a queue to an
exchange. What concept in JMS would this command be mapped onto?
All the binding information can be contained in the destination name.
I'm certainly not saying that a given JMS broker could not be made to
support AMQP. Individual implementations may well have the necessary
concepts in which to express AMQP semantics, but as far as I can JMS as
a specification does not so I'm not clear how a generic mapping would be
specified.
