May I ask for a clarification? If your work uses the ActiveMQ wire
format, does that mean that it's non-interoperable with Qpid? In
Ah.. ActiveMQ has an architecture in place to support multiple wire
formats. When I stated that is uses the ActiveMQ wireformat patterns, it
means that the AMQP marshallers now provide an ActiveMQ WireFormat
interface
that other parts of the ActiveMQ broker can use to marshal and unmarshal
objects.
other words, can a normal Qpid client using the AMQ protocol version
0.8 talk directly to an ActiveMQ broker based on this work?
Yes! But BTW.. it seems like at least the version I've been working
with,
the version is 8.0. Is this right?? Or is the version actually
supposed to
be 0.8???
It is meant to be 0-8. That will be corrected in an update to 0-9.
