Hi Drew,
I my experience as a beginner to qpid I spent allot of time with the Java
broker versions 6 and 7. I was trying to get some publish and subscribe
applications working with SSL. With help from this board I came to the
conclusion that it was beyond my skills or not possible using the Java broker.
So I used the C++ broker and got it working quickly using my java clients.
So, I think the C++ is better in this side of things and the documentation
also seems to be a bit more complete for the C++ version.
Cheers,
Tom

Subject: Why use the C++ broker versus the Java broker?
Hi. I'm new to Qpid (and AMQP in general). I'm having a bit of trouble
determining which broker to use. The compatibility page[1] says:
There are two brokers:
C++ with support for AMQP 0-10
Java with support for AMQP 0-8, 0-9, and 0-10.
The C++ broker supports only a subset of what the Java broker does, so is there
any reason (other than the never-ending performance comparisons between Java
and native languages) to use the C++ broker?
Is the Java broker being replaced by the C++ broker? Is the C++ broker intended
mainly for platforms without a reliable Java run-time? The permissions
structure seems to differ between the two brokers, with the C++ broker relying
on a newer ACL system, but I haven't used it yet, so I'm relying on the
(somewhat sparse) documentation. I've tried to search the list archives for
answers to these questions but the only info I found referred to version 0.6,
so I'm not sure that the info is still current.
Will someone explain this to me? Is this something that should be in the FAQ or
am I just missing something obvious?
