Hello, i think it would be great to compare Active MQ with other commercial- and noncommercial solutions. Because i have experience in WebSphere MQ i want to post main features. Feel free to oppose Active MQ Features.
WebSphere MQ uses 3 Administering Objects - Queue Manager, Queue, Channel. Queue Manager enable you to configure connections between queues on distributed platforms. Every Queue is a Queue Manager assigned. Variable at will queues can have the same Queue Manager. Queues hold Messages (could be configured persistent). Via a connection to the Queue Manager you could put and get messages out of the Queue. Channels are the Connections between Queue Managers - and can be Clusterchannels (Clustering of Queues), Sender- Receiver Channels (Point-to-Point connection between Queues) or Clientchannels (Java, C#, .NET, COBOL, ...). Main Features: --> GUI for creating Topics, Queues, Queue Manager, Channels / Browsing Messages / GET and PUT messages --> Sample codes for clients in diverse programming languages --> possibility to create Topics, Queues, Channels, Queue Manager via reusable scripts --> Messages in Queues could be stored in a database via a two-phase commit --> transport of a group of messages could be handled as "transaction" - commit, backout --> Backout Queue to avoid that a corrupt message blocks the channel for a long time --> Easy to configure Clusters --> Enabling SSL, user authentification --> Messages could persistent be stored in a Queue -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Active-MQ-vs-WebSphere-MQ-tp25802347p25802347.html Sent from the ActiveMQ - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
